It looks like John from https://2loud2oldmusic.com/ won last week’s challenge, scoring 20/20 with 2:37 remaining. Congratulations to John and all the other full marks.
This week you need to link the top 5 hits to the duo.

I scored 24 out of 28 – I know my Simon and Garfunkel, but I’m a little hazy on all the others. I’m sure some of you can easily beat me. Record your score and time remaining below.
On my kick of 2019 releases, I’ve just added a review of the Supermoon EP to my Charly Bliss page. I think some blog readers will enjoy their power-pop sound – here’s my favourite song from the EP, ‘Threat’.

SCORE
28/28 I knew all of them except one eighties duo…process of elimination.
Ooh, you’re the only perfect score so far.
Cool! That doesn’t happen much.
Was doing really well and then…wham!…I stumbled right at the end. Still pleased with my 26/28 score.
Stumbled on a ridge(ley)?
23/28. There were a couple of fairly esoteric ones I didn’t know.
Not a fan of Peaches and Herbs?
You’re assuming Peaches and Herb is where I went wrong.
Well it sounds like a lingerie shop….
They actually had a couple of big hits, from the soul era to disco. There has been one Herb and – for whatever reason – multiple Peaches.
I assumed they were from the 1990s or something. Which basically means there’s nothing in the quiz after about 1985.
18/28. I knew the Simon and Garfunkel , Hall & Oates and Wham hits. Less confident with the rest.
My lack of knowledge was pretty spread out.
20 with 2:04 remaining. I don’t know enough of the Unchained Melody Brothers or anything of the Herb mob.
I thought you meant Simon and Garfunkel for the herb mob, since they had an album titled Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme….
I have that LP. Totally forgot about that!
Well, Peaches and Herb would have been the obvious answer…
Brutal. 57%.
It sort of played into the hands of the older contestants – not much after 1990.
22 of 28. Like others knew S&G and then some but not all of others. Will definitely check out your review of Charly Bliss – love that band.
Have you heard the new EP? It’s pretty good – sounds more like the first album…
No I haven’t – but can’t wait if like first one !
23 – it appears I know my Wham! but I get my Righteous & Everly Brothers mixed up
Yes, sometimes you can guess on the era/genre, but those pairs of brothers are pretty similar.
26/28 with 2:42 left on the clock. Not as great as least week, but not too bad I think. I’m glad to finally have won one as it has been a while.
It’s been nice to see the wins shared around recently, even though Tony and Rich often deserve their domination.
Those two do dominate this game. I take great pride when I get beat them. It is probably the weeks they skip!!
I think Tony had a week off, but you managed to reel off a faster time than Mr Kamerman.
23/28, how the hell I even managed that is beyond me. Not really my wheelhouse this one
I think it favoured the older contestants….
