Congratulations to Pierce from ThePress, who seems to have scored the fastest time in last week’s quiz.
This week, your challenge is to categorise albums by their decade of release. I thought there was one marginal inclusion – an album that was released in the UK in December 1979, but didn’t turn up in the US until 1980. That record is filed into the 1970s for the purposes of this quiz.
I scored 28/28 with 3:35 remaining – can you beat my score?
I’d never heard “Weird” Al Yankovic’s Beach Boys’ pastiche ‘Pancreas’ until today. It’s pretty impressive – there’s some ‘God Only Knows’ and ‘Cabinessence’ in there:
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.

Just a mere 22/28 for me. The disappointment was eased by the Weird Al clip. Fun song and video. Thanks for sharing.
I think it was a tougher one this week – 22 stacks up pretty well.
12/28.
Thanks for playing!
My pleasure (and always a lesson in humility for me.)
SCORE
25/28
I was golden to I hit the 2000s.
I think 25 is a pretty good score this week.
20/28….this was fun….
Thanks for playing, good work!
27/28, 2:53 left.
Great job!
27/28. I screwed up on the last two.
Good job though!
I sucked that one big time. 20/28
24/28. I should have done better but I got mixed up on a couple of the rap ones and that put me on a bad road. I knew which one you were talking about being 1979 instead of 1980 cuz I ran into problems with that one before when making lists and stuff.
I think Rolling Stone used that quirk to put it on their best albums of the 1970s list and best album of the 1980s list.
20 is pretty decent – a lot of people were around 20-22.
24/28 for me
Good work, well above this week’s median I think.
20/28. I was going pretty good for a while, then crashed and burned.
Hey, welcome back. I read your Santana piece with interest, but didn’t really know enough about Santana to contribute any thoughtful comments.
Sure. I feel that way about a lot of things. I agree, best to say nothing if nothing to say.
