Last week’s quiz featured the closest fought competition I’ve ever seen on this blog. There were a healthy number of 100% scores, and the top three all had very close times.
If my maths is correct, Heavy Metal Overlord and Bruce Vinyl both completed the challenge in 53 seconds, while Geoff 1001 was nipping at their heels with a time of 54 seconds.
This week’s challenge requires sorting music hits from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s into the correct decade. I found that it gets a little tricky when the hit is on the cusp of two decades.

I scored 23/24 – can you beat me and attain the perfect score?
Not too good. 19/24. The note said, “You’re all about the average, aren’t you?” Hey, at least I’m not all about mediocre.
We can’t all be above average.
I just realized you’re a famous footballer. Autographed picture please.
I played football as a kid and won most improved player on two consecutive years.
I see. So you’re not him.
There are two different soccer players named Graham Fyfe on wikipedia
Hmm. Yes. And yet neither also appear to be world-renowned music bloggers.
Can’t have your ball and kick it too.
23/24 with 02:37 left. Sweet Home Alabama kept me from a perfect score.
So close!
Whoopie for me…24/24 with 2:36 remaining. Nice work last week with all those perfect scores. Well done, fellas.
A Rich score.
24/24
Timer
02:28 Cool…finally
A Max score!
!!!
22/24 for me.
Better than 15/37.
23/24 as well.
Great minds think alike.
21/24
Pauling in the points.
3:04 on the clock, but Bette Davis stuffed me up.
23/24
All the boys think Bruce is a spy! (trying to work everyone’s names into my comments this week, but yours is tough….)
22 of 24.
Han shot first!
23/24. Dang “lean on me”. I think I had 2:57 still on the clock.
Did you go for the 1960s on ‘Lean On Me’ (it was early 1970s), or were you thinking of the more recent remake?
Yes. Went 60’s
I’ve had a LOT of coffee today and this was a quickfire belter: 24/24 with 03:19 still to go. I slipped a moment or two on the AC/DC one and got lucky with my guess (all their songs are essentially the same anyway, right?)
I think that’s the one I got wrong actually – I like them, but have no idea what’s from what decade.
So close – 23! I put Janis in the incorrect decade
Understandable, as that album came out after her death – there’s a song on Pearl that’s still an instrumental as she was due to record her vocal the next day.
