17/20 for me, but should have gotten one more if I just focused a little more. I like that this quiz included a band as well as its first two lead singers.
I didn’t really register that – I think it’s one of the few bands that launched two solo careers that most music fans could name.
18 – missed 2 of the same as you (I was fortunate to get the ‘when I was your man’ singer).
Having at least 3 Canadian female singers didn’t hurt my score this week!
Good job – wonder if anyone else will beat 17 this week.
An abysmal 13/20. Does this contest ever end or does ti go on forever?
They just added a 20th, but it’s slowed right down.
I think I’m gonna bail on this contest anyway. I’m so far behind ill never catch up. I’ll join in again when it moves in
OK sir.
SCORE
17/20
I should have got 18…I missed one I shouldn’t have…the Black Widow I didn’t get either…
I don’t think I really knew any of the three I missed – good work.
I was amazed I got L*** Inc
Rough week for me. 16/20. Whoever’s developing these must be getting to the bottom of the barrel.
Expecting to find an Alien Ant Farm at the bottom of the barrel.
Five different versions of ‘Smooth criminal’?
15/20. Three of the 5 I missed I knew but I couldn’t remember their freaking names and then I ran out of time. Oh well.
Good effort!
19/20 – I’ve heard of ‘Do That to Me One More Time’ but don’t know the artist – I’ve only heard it as someone brought it up as an example of how music in the United States in that year it was released was bad.
I actually find that way more tolerable than ‘Love Will Keep Us Together’ – which inspired Joy DIvision’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.
16/20, pretty good week! The ones I missed I was sure I was going to miss anyway, but for the life of me I couldn’t remember the “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love” singer. Should have gotten that one!
Good effort. If you want to go back and do the other 12 quizzes, i’m happy to add you to the leaderboard, but maybe it’s easier to just be a casual player for now?
I’ll just stay a casual player and follow along from this point. No need to add me to the leaderboard! Thank you though!
Dropped a couple here for an eighteen
Good effort! I imagine we got similar ones wrong?
The artists behind Good Two Shoes and Do That To Me One More Time… heard of the latter but only the name
Between us, we would have got a clean sweep…
Ultimate pub quiz team!
I’m no good at motor sports questions.
I’m no good at sports questions full stop, it’s a guaranteed nil points round for me unless it’s something like “what sport involves kicking a ball along a pitch”
I like sports in general, I just think motor sports are silly.
I found this week’s to be the hardest yet, and my score reflects that – flaming out at 11 of 20. 🙁 Only a couple where a couldnt think of the name that I should know – the others I never heard of. Looks like I am comfortably at bottom but enjoying these nonetheless!
Sorry – thought I replied to this earlier. I think they’ve been getting harder – probably makes sense as we run out of easier artists. Do you like the new Jason Isbell?
