I scored 27/30 – can you beat me?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may just be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
29/30. I missed Harrison Ford. Once I narrowed it down, there were times when an obvious name would rhyme or it would have to a woman’s name or whatever.

I got Ford wrong too. I expect some of our Canadian brethen will get that one too.

Doing a happy dance with my 30/30 score. I’m glad I work alone. Otherwise I would be getting some quizzical stares right now. That was a challenge and lots of fun, covering a wide array of artists. Oh, I had 3:38 left on the clock, in case you’re looking for tie-breakers.

Was pretty tough, I think. Let’s see if anyone else makes it to 30.

I’ll take my 25/30. Can’t get too upset that I don’t know the lyrics to a Shania Twain song. 🙂

That Brad Pitt line from Twain is pretty memorable. I didn’t really like her at the time, but she’s surprisingly influential on modern pop.

30 for me – a couple of guesses based on rhyme and a little luck. The idea of ‘Ezra Pound and T S Eliot fighting in the captain’s tower’ still makes me wonder if Mr Zimmerman like to get small
