I scored 15/15 with 4:03 remaining, but I think there are a couple of tough ones in there.
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
12/15. Never heard of that Seattle band. Could have stared at the rest all day and not gotten.

You’ve probably heard of all the individual members – Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder…

Great effort – I think there are a couple of tough ones in there – expecting lots of 12-13s, but not many 15s.

I got 14/15 almost immediately but, not being a grunge fan, I was stumped on the last one. Once I saw who it was I remembered the name but I could have stared at that photo for hours & not gotten it right.

That was definitely the toughest one – lots of really famous bands, and one relatively obscure one.

I’d retained the piece of knowledge that they had a song named ‘Hunger Strike’ – only reason I got them.

It took almost to the last second. I kept singing it in my head and couldn’t think of it but at the same time I knew it. Then it clicked that I did the song for an original vs cover post.
