Music Quiz: Flip Flop Albums

35 Comments

1. Couldn’t do it. Too confusing. I thought I was gonna have a seizure any minute.

   • I should have put a health warning on it…

2. Impressive work by Eclectic and J last week. This week I got 18/18 with 1:13 left on the clock. A couple of times I was sure I clicked the box as it changed but I guess I was fast enough. Like Jim, a seizure was likely if I spent any more time on this quiz.

   • Ooh, you’re the fastest so far. I don’t think timing matters, as long as you hit the correct box.

3. 7/18 and ran out of time. It was a tough one. I know I could have done better with more time.

   • Just did it again and got 8/18. There are a bunch of familiar albums in there that aren’t part of the listed titles, which makes it even more confusing. I’m happy with my score.

     • Yup, there are 18 dummy albums in there – but not Portishead’s Dummy.

4. Fun premise on this one! I got 18/18 with 0:53 left, but yes, headaches.

   • Great work – I think you’re in the lead so far.

     • Nah, I think out of everyone who got them all I’m the slowest.

       • Sorry got my wires a bit crossed…

5. Miss clicked on a few…just not fast enough tonight 15/18

   • It took me ages to realise that the albums were staying in the same place, just toggling.

     • That was me…I clicked too late a couple of times.

6. I was a complete flop on this one. Hated the quiz, hated the format. Got only 12/18.

   • Sorry! Hopefully next week suits you better.

     • I’ve always had terrible hand-eye coordination.

7. I guess I didn’t understand it cuz I only got 56% even though I clicked on all the correct ones.

   • Weird – I don’t know what happened there.

   • I think you just had to click on it at the exact right moment or something.

8. 18/18 w/ 1:27 left – an easy quiz.

   Going back to the ABBA ranking, I like ABBA but there is a song from one of the members I like more than any of the ABBA songs and it’s ‘I Know There’s Something Going On’ by Frida, with Phil Collins on drums, backing vocals & producer. It sounds amazing.

   • I actually featured that song a few months back on a quiz post – https://albumreviews.blog/2021/06/10/music-quiz-building-the-beatles/ I’d never heard it until another reader pointed it out.

     I think you’re in the lead now.

9. 18 / 18 with 1:05 left. It did take a second to realize what you meant, but once you got it, easy.

   • Great work. I stared at the screen for a while trying to figure out what was happening….

10. 15 of 18 – yes a bit of a distracting quiz but got doomed by the more recent pop albums from Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift

    • I liked their pop selections actually – I’ve never spent much time with Lady Gaga but 1989 and Sweetener are both excellent pop albums in my book.

      • Yes nothing against them just not as familiar with them

11. 18/18 with 1:41 left on the clock. I’ve had a lot of coffee and that quiz (and the page’s cumulative layout shift) has given me a real trip, great quiz though

    • Ooh, fastest time. I don’t know if that counts as CLS….

12. I’m with you, Jim. Seemed kinda dumb, really, like staring at a strobe light.

13. Fair enjoyed that (though I’m not suremy eyes appreciated it). 18/18 with 1:14 remaining.

    • Good work – not quite as fast as Tony, but I think you beat almost everyone else.

14. 17/18 with 1:17 to go.

    • Great work!

      • Not enough to beat you this week, but thanks!
