Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored a perfect 20/20 in last week’s quiz.
I found this week’s quiz tough – it’s the last one in the series, and they may have been running out of recognisable acts. I’ve only heard six of these twenty albums.

I scored 15/20, with a fair bit of guessing.
If you want to hear me talk about Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion for half-an-hour, you can listen to me here – https://1001albumsin10years.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/s1e26-graham-fyfe-carly-rae-jepsen-emotion-the1002ndalbum-podcast
If you caught my 8-year-old daughter’s Parry Gripp post the other day, you’ll be happy to hear that she received a personal reply from Mr Gripp on Twitter. It was very cool of him.

17/20, 1:30 left.
Great work – that was a tough one.
I knew 14 of these and with a few well-educated guesses I finished with 18/20. I started listening to your podcast episode with Geoff yesterday. Will play the rest later or tomorrow. I believe my episode may be coming up on Sunday.
Oh cool, I should check out your podcast when it comes. 18 is an impressive score.
13/20
Good work – I thought that was a tough one.
They are all tough to me 😉
Just listened to the podcast and have added Carly to my WMM list for future featuring. Congrats to your daughter in getting a reply to her post.
Cool!
19/20 with 3:27 left. Nice to hear your voice Graham, and that’s very cool Parry Gripp responded to your tweet, especially given that you didn’t tag him.
Ooh, I think you might win again this week.
Oops. Tony just pipped you – also 19, but a faster time.
Oh well…
12 – probably about 9 for sure, then a 3/11 on the guesses. And I was happy to catch the live show hearing your thoughts on CRJ!
Thanks for having me!
15/20. Some lucky guesses there for me,
Solid score though – same as me.
I caught your spot on 1002nd album earlier in the week (I’ve been following it since Jim’s take on Scott Weiland’s 12 Bar Blues) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
As for the quiz… I’ve got pure caffeine running through my veins this morning and managed 19/20 with 3:45 left on the timer
Great effort – 19 is impressive in a tough week.
The usual. I knew 7. The rest I proudly hadn’t got a clue.
No educated guesses, just a hard stop when there are some you don’t know?
Yes, exactly that. As Paul Simon said “I know what I know…”.
The problem is with some of these quizzes is that I can’t make an educated guess as I could on, say, a general knowledge quiz, because I have not even a rudimentary knowledge of the artists concerned. I really don’t know who a lot of them are. I do know every capital city in the world, however!
Nice to hear you speak on your podcast, Graham, by the way. Unfortunately I wasn’t interested in the music you were discussing so I turned you off!
I attempted some of your piano playing quizzes on Sporcle too. Didn’t do very well, nothing to do with your playing, though.
I only got 8/20 with 2:10 left. This one was hard!
Yeah, 10th in a series so they’re down to their 200th favourite artist by the end.
Thanks for the quiz, though! You’re always testing my music knowledge!
