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 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!

Rough week for me. 16/20. Whoever’s developing these must be getting to the bottom of the barrel.

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.

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!

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?
