12 years early for round 1 (had no clue x), 1 year late for round 2. I knew the name

Robbie Robertson

was familiar but couldn't connect the dots in time grr.

 

I just guessed

Summer Holiday

for the first 2 bonus questions in round 2, no luck - managed to pull the third one out of my memory though! And also remembered

British Whale

because that was definitely a repeat question :kink:

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Good Times', 'Le Freak'

) - should have got

'Everybody Dance'

as well

 

Impressed that I got both years today (the first one was a complete guess and I wasn't sure about the second one either) and recalling

Lindisfarne

from the #1 albums sessions as well!

Jamiroquai

was also an educated guess, didn't know the song in the clip but recognised the voice.

 

I remembered

'Hymn'

was a song by one of the recent 3 in 10 artists but I guessed the wrong one :lol:

Round 1: 21 - didn't get

Billy J. Kramer, Billy Fury, Chubby Checker (was thinking of the Beach Boys one too), Linda Lewis

 

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get

Spandau Ballet (probably would have got it if the contestant hadn't been so quick), Joe McElderry (mind blanked and went with 'Emotions')

 

 

Three In Ten: 3 -

Are You Gonna Go My Way, Heaven Help, Fly Away

Billy Fury, Lullaby, Linda Lewis

I only knew

Billy J Kramer

as I'd listened to his no.1 on Tuesday on my ROTW thread and recognised his voice

Round 2 : 24 Didn't get

Liberty X, Whitney Houston, Joe McElderry

 

 

3 in 10 : 0

Round 1: 18 (missed

Simple Minds (-3), Billy J. Kramer (-6), 'Fairground' (-3), Billy Fury (-6), Linda Lewis (-3)

)

Round 2: 30 (missed

'To Cut A Long Story Short' (-3), Blondie song order (-3), 1985 (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Fly Away', 'Are You Gonna Go My Way'

) - no idea about any others bar maybe the

Avicii collab

though that was a pretty fleeting minor hit

 

1 year early for the second year (so close to a new best in the GHR era). Bless that second contestant actually choosing 21st century hits as a bonus round, 3 nice easy ones for my knowledge set :D

I didn't recognise any of the Blondie song titles so that didn't help. Also definitely should have got 'Fairground' but my mind went blank for too long unfortunately! I've never heard of that The Fat Boys song but was an educated guess because I knew 'The Twist' was a Chubby Checker song.

 

 

:clap: Jade for a 39 x

Well done Jade for the 39 yesterday! :cheer:

 

Tried to play along today in the car but the reception was terrible during Round 1 - couldn't hear some of the questions but definitely wouldn't have got the first two bonuses. Improved after that:

 

Round 2: 39 :cheer:

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Goldfinger'

) - definitely could have got a few more here, poor show from me

 

3 years late for the first year. Had no clue at all for the first round bonuses, also confused

Brotherhood Of Man with Bucks Fizz

. And kicked myself as soon as Ken said

The Ronettes

, no idea how I missed that one, fairly generic song titles to be fair I guess xx Failed at the 1 in 3 guess for the first bonus in round 2 :lol:

Forgot what day it was so missed Round 1 :drama: will try it later.

I've now done Friday's Round 1 on catch up: I might have got 33 - still wouldn't have got
