Congratulations to Geoff, who dominated last week’s piano quiz with a 20/28, clearly ahead of the rest of the field.
One song people struggled with was Ariana Grande’s ‘Into You’ – here’s a version on Youtube, where someone replaced the instrumentation with metal, for people who don’t enjoy her usual R&B/pop:
This week’s quiz requires you to name bands whose names are complete sentences. I found it interesting – it threw up a bunch of semi-obscure groups.

I scored 12/14 – can you beat me?
A couple of well-considered guesses at the end got me to 14/14 this week with 3:19 remaining. As for the metal version (or any version) of Ariana Grande, um…no thanks. Instead, I recommend spending 3 minutes with this mash-up of Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and Maiden’s “The Trooper” because…well, why not? 😀

I love Dread Zeppelin. Have their first three albums and they’re all enjoyable. I believe even Robert Plant was a fan.
Looks like you’ve got a 2 point lead at the moment, but it’s not all over until Tony hits it.
Thanks Rich. I really needed that!!!
8/14 with a few lucky guesses
Good guessing!
Nope. I tied you. Screwed up on a couple complete guesses but I knew most of them.
I knew most of the names but was scant on details for some.
8/14 for me too. I neither heard of most of those bands nor songs.
The only one I’d legit not heard of was Bring Me The Horizon. I remember another quiz a few months back, most of us didn’t know Imagine Dragons, so I checked them out – not a fan.
I’ve heard Imagine Dragons. Meh!
11/14 – have to say have not heard of most of these – got lucky guessing.
Good guessing then – joined the peloton on 11 and 12.
SCORE
11/14 …. guessing helped. I knew one group because of my son.
My kids would have been helpful if the quiz had featured The Wiggles or the Mary Poppins Returns soundtrack….
lol…yea my son is 18 and the first concert he went to by himself was Foster The People….but yep…I’ve been through the Wiggles…
That was hard and score was so bad, I won’t post as it didn’t win anyway.
Looks like it might be another Rich and Tony show this week. Better luck next week!
Isn’t always Rich and Tony week 😂
Meh.
(As in: not a score worth reporting)
Not a big Drive Like Jehu fan?
Nor likely to become one, I’m afraid.
Me neither, but I love the name.
Oooft. Just 9 for me. Some I’ve heard of, though I wasn’t familiar with the clues.
Yeah, me too, but I must have guessed better!
Alas, no dominant performance this week!
11/14 – 9 were effortless and then I went 2 for 5 on the pure guesses
It would be boring if you dominated every week…
I could only get %64. The newer stuff I just had no clue. Worst part, I have probably heard all that stuff before. I know more millennials than I care to admit.
The music scene is fragmented these days, so it’s a question of knowing the right millennials. OK Go are noteworthy for their music videos, which are worth watching, and IMO completely overshadow their songs.
