Jim couldn’t defend his crown – Tony took out last week’s setlist quiz with the only perfect score.
This week you need to recognise a band (or solo artist) when shown a split image of their first and final albums. You can play at:

I think it’s on the easier side – I scored 15/15 with 3:30 remaining. Can you beat my time?
This week, Kate Bush scored her first ever US top 50 hit, with ‘Running Up That Hill’ bursting into the top ten. Here’s my favourite Kate Bush jam, from the same album as ‘Running Up That Hill’, 1985’s highly impressive Hounds of Love.

11/15 ran out of time
Thanks for playing!
My pleasure 🙂
12/15. The ones I didn’t get I just did not recognize. As to Kate Bush, I was just reading the other day that that song has become popular as it was apparently used in ‘Stranger Things.’ But it’s always gotten a lot FM play back in the day.
I’ve never heard Bush on the radio except Wuthering Heights’. Running Up That Hill makes sense as a radio hit – it’s about as normal as she gets.
Yeah, the opposite here. Wuthering Heights did nothing but we all loved ‘Hill.’ The one she did with Peter Gabriel was popular too. She is by no means a household name over here.
Wuthering Heights was the first self-penned number one hit from a female artist in the UK, and she did it while she was still a teenager. Have you heard about Wuthering Heights Day where people wear red dresses and reenact the music video?
Thankfully. No.
15 with 3:34 remaining – so I think I had a slightly faster internet connection than you, otherwise it looks like a tie to me!
I was pretty slow out of the blocks when I did it – wasn’t very focused.
Actually no, you’re in the lead. Graham doesn’t count himself and neither of us got 15.
That was fun but very easy. 15/15 with 3:43 remaining. I’m out of town this week for a half-vacation/half-family-related trip, so I guess not having work on my mind kept my brain fairly sharp.
You’re in the lead – I do agree it’s an easy one though.
Dang, this was very hard! I only got 5/15 and gave up at 2:53 lol. This was still fun, though.
Thanks for playing!
No problem! Thanks for the quiz!
I gave up after guessing 11 out of 15.
Good work!
14/15 for me. No joy in the one I missed.
I figured that one might be tough for some people. They’re pretty well known in New Zealand though – I bought all their records 25 years ago.
Nice.
Also, I like how their best-known song is an answer to Captain and Tenille’s ‘Love Will Keep Us Together?’
15 / 15 with 3:42 remaining, that was a fun one. Always thought Hounds of Love was just a brilliant album – one side pop perfection, the other an ethereal concept album (And Dream of Sheep is a favourite) so happy to see it enjoying a renaissance and reaching a new generation of fans
Yeah, I hope people are listening to her other songs too. Certainly had an uptick of views of Kate Bush content on my site.
15/15 with 03:51 remaining! I guess I did well this time around.
Ooh, you have the fastest time this week.
Awesome! I guess I knew this week’s artists quite well. There are some weeks when I don’t know half of them!
It was pretty album-oriented this week.
Oops, actually a later entry was even faster.
Oh well, I will settle for the podium then! =P
15/15 w/ 4:03 left – Quite easy for me.
Happy that Kate Bush is getting more popular than ever. Want to see Stranger Things to use XTC so they get the same treatment.
I don’t think anything with Partridge singing will have mass appeal so would have to be a Moulding song I reckon.
And fastest time!
15/15 with 3:36 remaining and not a lucky guess at all this time.
Great work – you beat my time, although there are a few other faster scores than both of us.
14/15 …DF…I don’t know much about them. JD I knew just enough to know who it was.
DP, right?
Yes! sorry
14/15 It wasn’t working very good today cuz it was real slow and even after you got the right answer it took like a whole minute for the next album to come up, so I started all over and it was working a little better. But I still would have gotten one wrong because I always forget who did that album with the picture of the burning monk. A lot of times I don’t recognize an album if it’s a band that I hate. And I HATE Rage Against the Machine.
I like RATM a lot one song at a time, but I can’t handle full albums by them.
