Round 1: 12/13? (missed

'Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 3' (-3/-2?

3 in 10: 2/3 (

) - took me a while to remember the actual title of the latter song which wasted time, nevermind x

 

1 year late for the first year and a casual 14 years late for the second (I can explain...

I always get Simon Park Orchestra mixed up with Steve Miller Band for some reason so I was trying to remember the year of the SMB/Deee-Lite chart battle, although I was 3 years out for that too

)

 

I thought that second bonus round was going to be disastrous for me but then managed to get all 3 of them!

Monday:

 

Round 1: 12 (missed

Bros (-6), 'James Dean' (-3), 1971 (-3), Bad Manners (-3), 'King Of Wishful Thinking' (-3), Hot Chocolate (-6), Dave Edmunds (-3)

)

Round 2: 12/13? (missed

Chuck Berry (-6), Faces (-3), 'Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out' (-3/-2? I said 'Tune In, Dream On, Drop Out', I knew what it was but forgot the specific name lol, partly mixing its title up with a similarly named old Séyetana BJSC entry), 2005 (-3), Joan Armatrading (-3), De La Soul (-6), 'I Wonder Why' (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'I Don't Like Mondays', 'Rat Trap'

)

 

15 years late for the first year (I have no excuse this time x), 1 year late for the second (that was an annoying one). A couple of annoying misses in this round, my brain was not engaging properly x

in particular I misheard the Hot Chocolate question as him saying it was an act with only 2 top 20 hits in total rather than just in that year, otherwise I'd have possibly guessed Hot Chocolate as they're kind of my go-to guess for that era lmao. Should have known the Daniel Bedingfield and Go West songs too and maybe also De La Soul

Tuesday:

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

Bryan Ferry (-3), Argent (-6), Genesis (-3), either 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine' artist (-6), 'Wide Eyed And Legless' (-3)

)

 

5 years late for the second year. Think I should have been able to get 36 on the second round but I'd never have got the last question so even the theoretical 39 remains elusive, still yay for a rare dip into the 30s x

Wednesday:

 

Round 1: 21 (missed

Fiddler's Dram (-3), 1997 (-3), Madness (-6), 'Alone Without You' (-3), any Archie Bell & The Drells song (-3)

)

Goldeneye (-3), Steve Harley (-6), 'Never Never' (-3), Laurel & Hardy (-6)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Under The Bridge', 'Pure Shores', 'Black Coffee'

) -

I actually originally wrote down 'Lady Marmalade' instead of 'Black Coffee' but caught myself that that was a double A-Side with 'Under The Bridge' within a couple of seconds thankfully!

 

 

2 years early for the first year, got the second one with a lucky guess.

Madness was the most annoying miss as I knew I knew it but couldn't identify it before the contestant said the answer - was proud of myself managing to recall the A Flock Of Seagulls and The Rolling Stones titles though, plus Keith Emerson's first name and a bit of an educated guess at Bobby Brown, so overall pretty happy with my showing today

.

2 years early for the second year.

Beyoncé

saving me from a total wipeout on round 2 :lol: Very tough questions today though, I wasn't really kicking myself at any of the ones I missed

bar maybe S'Express which sounded vaguely familiar and perhaps should have guessed from context - which was the only reason I got Andrew Gold in round 1 as it happens
