There were a lot of 18/20s in last week’s quiz, but a couple of contestants made it to 20/20 – NostalgicItalian and Eclectic Music Lover – with the latter having the fastest time.
This week’s challenge is to link adjectives to 1970s songs.
I scored 24/24 with 2:49 remaining – although I certainly had to guess a bit.
Incidentally, I think this is this blog’s 1000th post – thanks for reading and following.
As a bonus, I liked this quiz. https://www.sporcle.com/games/Le_Badger/10-down-the-beatles – I don’t like to feature single-artist quizzes, as they make it hard for some readers. I just scraped in with 10, with a couple of seconds left – the ‘Hey Jude’ question took me a while to figure out.
I enjoyed this episode of Amoeba Records’ What’s In My Bag, featuring Meshell Ndegeocello. She’s articulate, and she had me at her first choice – Mark Hollis’s 1998 solo album. She’s been listening to some of the same things as me recently – PJ Harvey’s recent record and Arthur Russell.

This one was right in my wheelhouse. No guesses needed as I knew every song. 24/24 with 2:54 left on the clock. I’ll have to go back to that bonus Beatles quiz later.
Piece of cake. 24/24. 2:58 left
I found it a bit harder than most, but probably because I’m a bit younger.
I would have figured you were somewhere about the same age as me. I’m 47. How old are you?
Great work – lots of close times this week.

p.s. disastrous results on beatles quiz. got to #3 on 2nd try. You have to know your Beatles and quick on that one. Good job, Graham.
I’ve been reading a biography about the Beatles, maybe that helped?
I may have done it wrong, but when I tried it, one wrong answer ended the quiz?

02:58 ….hell I by the time I started to fill in the Beatles quiz it was done.
Fast time for the original quiz though.
24/24 with 2:37…not fast enough but solid. And congrats on 1000 posts. that is awesome.
You must have way more than 1000, right?
About 2,300 so far.
24/24 with 2:55 to spare. Only made it to #3 on the Beatles quiz…
Great work!
I don’t think I understood that Beatles quiz cuz I put Penny Lane for the two word song and it said I was wrong, then I didn’t have any more time to do anymore.
How many years did it take you to do 1,000 posts?
Maybe seven years? I usually do 3 posts a week, so that sounds about right.
24/24 with 2:12 left on the clock – had to skip a few to reduce the options on those that I didn’t know.
Perfect score!
20/24….1 minute and 40 seconds left… Congrats on 1000 posts!
