Music Quiz: Spotify Results and Follow That Lyric – 1980s

We’ve had 20 weeks of Spotify quizzes – congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti for the overall victory. Sheik scored 390 of a possible 400, which is equivalent to only missing one clue every second week over the competition. Tony finished a very close second, only one point behind first place, while Scott led the peloton with 374. Congratulations to everyone who hung in there for the full 20 weeks. I publicly displayed holes in my musical knowledge – looks like I need to bone up on Snoop Dogg and take flight with The Yardbirds.
Here are the official results:
Participant | Week 20 | Total |
Sheik Yerbouti | 20 | 390 |
Tony | 20 | 389 |
Scott | 18 | 374 |
Geoff (1001) | 17 | 371 |
jprobichaud | 18 | 369 |
Rich Kamerman | 17 | 364 |
John (2loud2old) | 17 | 350 |
Max (badfinger20) | 15 | 348 |
Paul | 14 | 305 |

I scored 28/30 – how did you get on?
I’m very impressed with those high scorers. That was a tough 20 weeks but I think I got through it pretty well. This week’s quiz was right in my wheelhouse. An easy 30/30 with 4:15 left on the clock.

30 – I had to skip a couple and then come back by process of elimination.
Thanks for hosting the quizzes, I am delighted to earn what my brother calls the “Canada Bronze” (as in the Olympics, we tend to finish well but just off the podium) – 4th place!
