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.
Ok since I appear to be the last one to play last week’s I’ll be among the first to do this weeks. But same result as usually – 15 of 20. A couple just were on tip of my tongue (like the precious stone one) and other like the Bad Day guy I had not idea. Seemed like there were a number of artists from down under though.

Couple of Australian bands. I don’t think there are many NZ acts that you could feature and expect not to be at the bottom of the table – Crowded House (who are tenuous anyway), Lorde, maybe Split Enz or Kimbra (but mainly for her famous guest spot)

Can’t believe I missed…uh…. a composer that I admire.

19/20 for me. For some reason I just couldn’t come up with the “Bad Day” singer’s name. Tried just about every 21st century sensitive singer-songwriter’s name I could think of but never came close. Otherwise a very easy quiz for me. And fun, as always.

That’s the one I missed too – I had the first name, but not the last. You never said who you met from last week’s quiz?

Debbie Gibson…when I worked at Atlantic Records.

Was she nice?

She was very nice. It was at the height of her fame around the time of her second album, so she was probably 18 years old. She autographed a promo photo for my sister who she must have assumed was a teenager like most of her fans. At the time my sister was a 25-year-old military police officer.

Sounds like your sister was an early poptimist.

18/20. I’m not surprised at all at the two that I missed. Even when I saw them, I was like, who?!

I don’t think there’s been one I missed that I’ve had no idea about so far – closest is probably Debbie Gibson.

20/20 – I got it all correct but those sibling acts were diffcult to get.

Do INXS count as a sibling act?

First time participating but I’m going to try and get on this train! 14/20- There were two of those that I recognized the songs but couldn’t place the artist, the other three I was completely out of luck!

20/20 – one (Fruits of my Labour singer) was purely by chance as Spotify had decided I’d enjoy her work this week after listening to Ryan Adams’ Heartbreaker. On the downside I’ve now got Bad Day stuck in my head. Ta for that

The ‘Fruits of my Labour’ singer is very good – I enjoy Car Wheels and World Without Tears a lot.

I can’t compete with the other scores so I’ll politely exit the game (you can remove me from the race). I’ve never heard of Daniel Powter or Lisa Loeb but I recognized their biggest hits when i just played them. I know the melodies but often not the name of the artist.

OK – I’ll take you off the sheet for next week. That Lisa Loeb song is really good.

19 – I thought it was a ‘d’ instead of a ‘t’ in the bad day singer & when it didn’t accept my answer, i struggled to troubleshoot with different spellings.
I’m surprised ‘deeply dippy’ didn’t crack the top 5 downloads for one of the other artists, I genuinely like that song!

I don’t know Deeply Dippy! I got the Bad Day one wrong too – I remembered his first name, but not the last.
