The

Shadows

miss was a bit annoying as I do know that song. My early 2000s Now! knowledge shone through again with the

Kym Marsh

question :lol:

 

Very happy that we had a timely reminder of

Sky

at the #1 Album sessions not too long ago as I would've only known

Bach

otherwise.

 

Gutted that neither contestant chose the Beatles Covers specialist option as that would've, in theory, been ideal for me :(

^similar scores, I thought it was very hard today, especially the 2nd one

 

Round 1: 21 (x-2-x-x-5-x-7-8-x-x)

Round 2: 5 (1-x-x-4-x-x-x-x-x-x)

Round 2: 5 (x-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-x-x) ~ said

David Cassidy

David Soul

:(

 

Listening on catch-up so missed the post-Popmaster song but I think I know what it is after scrolling through Twitter just now and seeing a couple of lines from it quoted :lol:

Did really well on R1, got 30, they even asked about my fav song of the 90s

Paula Cole

 

R2 much worse, just 9, but most questions were pre-1985 :/ of course I didn't get any of those Detective questions

although I knew one was

the guy from Starsky and Hutch

 

Round 1: 11 - first three and

Someone Like You

 

Round 2: 05 -

Looking for Love

 

Semi 2 i got 20 for round 1, missing out on 3, 5, 9 and 10 and one word wrong for title in 8, doh!

 

 

Round 2 34 points, much better, 4, 7 and 8 wrong and he was too fast with answer for 2 which i knew.

 

Final: round 1 got 28 points, 3, 4, 5, 6 wrong and missed half of the title for 9 doh!

 

Round 2 was 27 points 4, 6 and 8 wrong and didnt quite get the nsme right for 10.

 

I did give the duo pisstake of Telly Savalas If a link a few weeks back in the worst number ones votes so if you didnt get that go back to the thread and play it as penance :lol: still amusing :lol:

Some tough stuff! Glad I managed to recall three for today's 3-in-10 artist as I've never listened to an album of theirs before despite my parents owning their biggest one, I really should.

I was going to catch up with last week's episodes but thought that it might not be the best time to jump in with the Champions League thing happening - so starting from today instead :magic: (I played Wednesday through Friday of the week before that, I won't post the breakdowns from those episodes but I scored 18/18, 12/21 and 15/12, so no great scores yet but also nothing super embarrassing. Though I have been doing pretty miserably so far in the 3 in 10 round, tbf I think they have been quite difficult ones so far but also my brain just goes directly to mush every time :lol:)

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

1988 (-3), 'Lullaby' (-3), 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight' (-6), Melissa Manchester (-6), The Dooleys (-3)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

Earth, Wind & Fire (-3), 1977 (-3), Peter Noone (-6), Vicky Leandros (-6), Melba Moore (-3)

)

3 in 10: 1/3 (

'Babylon' is the only one I know / could recall, I had a punt at 'White Ladder' in the hope the title track was a hit too, but then I couldn't even think of a guess for a third one lol so it wouldn't have mattered even if that was correct

)

 

Well I remain consistently mediocre at least! I think I could have pushed to a 24 in round 1 there -

I definitely should have got 'Lullaby' as I know all 3 of the songs of that title lmao but I misheard Sigala as Sigma and thought 'Changing' instead, of course they both have to have a song with Paloma Faith :') and I said 1987 for the year so my first 'one year out' moment x

. Maybe also a 21 in round 2 could have been possible,

I guessed Chic for the Earth, Wind & Fire question, close enough x Was a bit further out with the year this time as I guessed 1971 but correct decade at least!

Never would have got any of the others, a bunch of names I don't recognise.

Didn’t actually think they’d do this during Xmas so must listen again!

PopMaster never rests :lol:

I also didn't know it was going to be on this week. I've just done it now.

 

Round 1 : 24 Didn't get

The year, Melissa Manchester, The Dooleys

PopMaster never rests :lol:

 

R2 is a lot different to R1 then as it seems to hand things over for Xmas week!

Welcome bre pretty good start there!

27 round 1 got the last 2 Night questions wrong.
