Yesterday:

 

Round 1: 16/18? (missed

Betty Boo (-3), Jimmy Nail (-3), 'Time (Clock Of The Heart)' (-6), possibly 'You've Got A Friend' (-2? I said 'You've Got A Friend In Me', I reckon that's close enough for 1 point at least and may have got away with it entirely even though that is technically a different song but shhh), Owen Paul (-6), 'Sunny' (-3)

)

Round 2: 15 (missed

'Come As You Are' (-6), Sly And The Family Stone (-3), 'Walking On The Milky Way' (-3), 1986 (-3), 'Gonna Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse' (-3), 'One Night In Heaven' (-6)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Oliver's Army'

) - I barely recognise any of the others, who knew he had so many hits x

 

1 year late for the second year.

My first thought for the Boney M. question was actually 'Sunny' but I didn't know Cher had a version of that and that threw me off oops! I must have not been paying close enough attention though because I did know the original was Bobby Hebb

.

 

I only got 2/8 of the tiebreaks (

Darren Hayes and 'Deeply Dippy', should have got the Elton one too at least

).

Katie Melua was my first thought for that round 1 bonus but then convinced myself it was Nerina Pallot for some reason oops! Also should have got Judas Priest but confused them with Iron Maiden. And today I learnt there was an older chart act called Blue

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Jump (For My Love)'

) - I knew there was at least one other obvious one I was missing, in fact there were two (i.e. the ones both Jade and Jim got). Brain fart x

 

2 years late for the second year.

 

Made an impressive comeback in round 1 - the only question I got right in the first 5 was just a lucky guess at the year but then I got all of the last 5 questions right!

Thanks to Suedeonia sending a cover of an Aphrodite's Child song to BJSC recently, Demis Roussos being a member of that band was a factoid that stuck with me somehow

. Most annoying miss was

the Snow Patrol song which I definitely knew but couldn't pull out of my memory in time, not to mention Alison Moyet being my nemesis in this game as per usual, also made the wrong guess for the U2 album but I did at least go right in my 50/50 of which of the first two Avril Lavigne albums was right

.

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Jealous Guy', 'Avalon'

) - frankly impressed I got more than one

 

1 year late for the first year.

Jim Reeves was an annoying miss, I knew who it was but the name wasn't coming to me. Then made a bit of a silly mistake on round 2 as I confused Commodores with Communards and confidently wrote down 'Don't Leave Me This Way' :lol: probably should have got 'Dancing In The Dark' too

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Father And Son'

) -

I knew he had another hit that ended with 'And Son' but couldn't recall the 'Matthew' part, don't think I'd have known a third one anyway though

 

 

1 year early for the first year.

Hear'Say

was an annoying miss! I got the first 5 questions all right in round 2 which is always exciting but then proceeded to only get points from an educated guess in the second half, basically the inverse of the same happening but with the last 5 questions the other day :P

 

That

Tiny Tim
