Things are getting predictable on Aphoristic Album Reviews this week, as we move onto the sixth installment of greatest hits albums picture clicking. It’s another eclectic bunch of artists, from The Animals to Snoop Dogg.
There were no 20/20s last week, but a lot of 19s – congratulations to everyone who was so close to perfection. JP Robichaud had the fastest recorded time.
Graham Fyfe is probably the only music blogger to appreciate Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande. Aphoristic Album Reviews features reviews and blog posts across a growing spectrum of popular music.

16/20
Ooh, you’re doing well at these.
Surprisingly, yes 🙂
17/20. Seems like I always screw up on ’90s bands. but I don’t know why because it’s not like I don’t know them or anything. The only reason I got Basement Jaxx is that I listened to it recently so I remembered what it looked like
Maybe the older a greatest hits album is, the more iconic it is? Not sure. Ones that don’t have a band photo on the cover are often tough.
19/20, 2:13 left.
Great work!
After last week’s “almost” I took a step back this week, with only 18/20. When I got the first one wrong I knew I was in trouble, but I guess it’s a respectable score.
It’s certainly respectable (and far from meagre).
SCORE
17/20 Too many I didn’t know.
It’s still a good effort. I don’t see you being into Basement Jaxx.
I got 12/20 with 2:03 left. Honestly, I did better than I thought I was going to do. Thanks for the quiz!
Thanks for stopping in!
No problem! Thanks for the lesson in music history!
16/20. Average. Some I’d never heard of. Who the hell are Good Charlotte or Korn?
They were two 90s bands. Korn was a big Rap Metal band and Good Charlotte was like a one hit wonder alternative/pop punk band. They both sucked.
I remember my classmate (and now workmate) getting me to listen to Korn through earbuds back in 1996. They’re both well enough known to qualify I think, even if I’ve never gotten into either.
18/20…there were 3 I had no idea and only guessed good on one of them.
Great knowledge, bad guessing?
17/20 with a few inaccurate guesses!
Thanks for playing!
18/20 for me. Aside from the tiny album photos, it’s amazing how few include the artist or band’s name.
I guess having the artist name would make it too easy – I think they might have edited some out. Great score.
