19/20 this week, couldn’t place who was calling Jenny
I didn’t know that one either, but looks like lots of people did.
So close to a perfect score this week but I was stumped by the Chad Kroeger-fronted Canadian band of whom I have no opinion. 19/20 for me.
Good score. Chad Kroeger and co are often used as a punchline for bad music jokes.
18/20. Didn’t know one of the female bands. It took me a while to recall who did ‘Breathe.’
Pink Floyd did it first!
She used to be Roger Waters’ girlfriend perhaps.
I remember watching Roger Waters being described as the “thinking woman’s Richard Gere” a few years ago. His looks improved with age.
19/20. I missed the same one Rich did. Have never listened to that band.
I know them because they got mocked a lot. Don’t know any of their songs.
They get a ton of radio play here in Canada but I never really listen to the radio these days. A lot of people slag them and yet I feel that somebody must be listening to them with all their album sales.
According to Spotify, 8,693,131 monthly listeners
I don’t doubt it. Mind blowing, isn’t it?
Clearly not reading our blogs for recommendations….
Hahahaha. Probably not. Cheers to that! 🍻
19 – it appears i did not have my thinking Cap on (or my mind was somewhat unclear)!
Good score, but I don’t get the reference!
Not to worry, it was a misfired attempt at wordplay while disguising the slow ride band name!
Feel like a helmet with a torch on would be the best headwear in that circumstance.
19/20… I can’t believe I got the country one…missed the female band.
Looks like you got the Jenny one and the Chad Kroeger one that everyone else has been missing though. You beat me this week!
It helps that Jenny is my wife’s name…so I know it by heart….the other one I’m embarrassed that I know.
20/20 – lots of difficult ones for me (the artists that did ‘Sundown’ and ‘Jenny’) but got it clutched.
‘My Sharona’ – very fitting indeed.
Perfect score. Someone must have done a My Sharona parody for the pandemic by now, surely….
18/20 for me.
Same as me!
14 of 20 comfortable in bottom tier now. a couple like the stickwithu one I never heard of but others I just blanked on.
Ok I would like to humbly request an additional point as when I went back to check on the Jenny one – I had it right, just kept mispelling the last name….
I talked to our scoring integrity department and they said it’s OK this time, but next time you could try googling the spelling in a different tab.
Right! Thank you. I forgot you had mentioned that strategy before. Will do from now on. 😀
14/20 this time
Good work!
