No one scored more than 18/20 in last week’s Double Grammy Winners quiz – congratulations to Eclectic Music Lover and Tony who both reached that mark.
This week there’s a delightful music grid to solve:

I scored 69/78 (you get a point for each letter you get correct, so it doesn’t take that long). Can you beat my score? You’ll probably need to be more clued up on Usher, Brandy, et al that I am!
Is anyone else a fan of the Albums That Never Were blog? They reconstruct famous lost albums. I’m reviewing The Zombies’ 1960s discography right now, and I’m regarding their version of R.I.P. as canonical: http://albumsthatneverwere.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-zombies-rip.html

I started this one but couldn’t finish it. Usually, there’s an option to skip the question and come back later. But I could only find ‘Give up’ and so it was impossible to finish or come back later and guess.
You can click on the grid square you want to guess. I clicked Give Up to finish.
No worries. I’ll just concede this one to Tony.
I don’t know if anyone is going to catch Angie.
I got all but 1. 75/78. Some were lucky guesses, but the one I was stumped on was a question about a rapper. I don’t know much about rap.
I don’t think anyone is going to beat you this week.
49/78 and ran out of time. Some I should have known!
Thanks for playing!
SCORE
66/78 I thought I did better…there were 4 I couldn’t get. Afterward I should have guessed one more… it’s a color
That was the one I got on the second run through.
I got to 60/78 and then had to call it because I had no idea on the rest.
You made it into the 60s.
69/78 – I don’t know the name of the Mambo guy, the marimba song and the rapper who’s brother is Brandy.
I spelled the Mambo 5 guy wrong at first.
I got 69/78. I missed Brandy bro, the Usher-Ellie song and the marimba song
Those are the three I missed too.
63/78. I know what I know and that’s that.
“I know what I like and I like what I know” – Peter Gabriel.
“I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure…”
57/78 and gave up with 1:27 left. Spent more time mucking with the way the letters jumped, not a fan of the format of input here. Also not up to date on some of the pop tart/rapper stuff. Ah well!
I found the input a bit tricky too – must be annoying on phone.
Oh I can’t even imagine. I’m on an iMac and that’s enough for me!
63/78 for me. I should have waited until my wife, who is working across the table from me, got off the phone before starting this quiz. I’m sure I would have gotten a few more.
As for The Zombies “R.I.P.”, good call. It’s fantastic. I bought the Zombie Heaven 4-CD box set when it was released (20+ years ago?) and went from being a casual fan to a fanatic.
Good score.
I think his version of R.I.P. is the thing in their catalogue that comes closest to Odessey and Oracle.
Started strong on first column and then it all came apart about halfway down second column – 53; and it wasn’t like I couldn’t even guess on some of them – Aqua? But I liked the format!
Good work! I found the second column harder too.
could guess
75/78. The timer could give me 5 hours and I still wouldn’t get Brandy’s brother.
Ooh, someone tied Angie’s score. I don’t think anyone knew Brandy’s brother?
I meant to Google him to see how popular he was, but completely forgot.
He’s well known for a video he made with Kim Kardashian.
Is that right? I’ll need to hit Google… in fact, when you say video… are we’re talking music video or the likes?
Not a music video…..
Aye, I think I’ll avoid hitting up Google for that!
I only got 60/78, then gave up with 2:19 remaining, as I had no clue about five questions.
Making it into the 60s is a good accomplishment.
That was a great quiz! Got all of them with 4:05 left. Put a ‘0’ instead of an ‘o’ on Dido which added some time…
