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.
17/20, sinking further into the depths of despair. “She don’t use jelly?”

I love that song! It has pretty, jangly bits and loud guitar bits.

Neither had the guy from Beverly Hills 90210. “You know, I’ve never been a big fan of alternative music, but these guys rocked the house!”

I don’t know that one either. Well, I’m aware of the show, but… Anyway, bottom line is I am not winning the golden Aphoristical award any time soon.

Golden Aphoristical Award is a great name, maybe Aluminium Aphoristical Award for alliteration?

I was halfway through when my computer froze, so after a long reboot process I re-started and got an easy 20/20. Only one of them, a young female country star, took a few seconds of scratching my head before the name came to me. I like the diversity on display this week.

Good work. It’ll be interesting to see how the scores line up this week. I found the country one tricky too.

Yup, it was pretty eclectic. I think it’s pretty amazing that all of us can guess upwards of 90% on a series of 300 artists.

20/20 – the two difficult ones were Checker and Milli Vanilli (two artists that are stuck in their own time) but I eventually got there.

Yup, both kind of one-hit wonders.

19/20 – I had no recollection of the one artist. A couple of song names were tunes from the Muppet Christmas Carol so I guessed Muppets!
