Welcome back for another week of quizzing!
This week we have yet another collection of greatest hits albums.

I scored 5(!) out of 20. I found all the hard rock acts hard to differentiate. Thin Lizzy and Zappa were pretty easy, but after that, it was a bunch of guessing.
Congratulations to Tony, who scored the only 20/20 in last week’s quiz, and also seemed like the biggest Big Thief fan.
This week’s news shows CD thieves are back in business in Wellington, New Zealand.

9/20
Almost twice as much as me!
Another one to mark on the calendar, Graham 😉
about the CD packaging thefts, they probably get the music digitally free and so not worried about leaving the packaging behind. I guess this store doesn’t have video surveillance set up? It’s not that big of a store, seems like one floorwalker would be enough if they don’t want Big Brothers Red Globe peeping on them.
correction: not worried about leaving the CD behind
Probably hard to afford an extra worker, everyone’s struggling in NZ at the moment. Cost of living and the newly elected right-wing government is slashing a lot of things.
“newly elected right-wing government” sounds more than a little disturbing. I’m very concerned about the fairly even numbers between the two old bastards running here.
Our right wing is a lot more moderate than yours. But they’re still firing a lot of public servants and cutting funding for the vulnerable.
I’m optimistic that the right wing in America becomes more moderate over time as the younger voters come through and make the voting base more progressive.
SCORE
17/20 I needed Deke for some of those. The NYD’s threw me off…that looks like an eighties photo…not seventies.
Yeah, I thought I’d be able to recognise them. Although they were pretty influential on that 1980s androgynous aesthetic, maybe?
I guess they were more than I thought or maybe it’s a reunion of them in the 80s.
11/20… My worst score yet, I think : (
But still twice as high as mine…
not a heavy metal fan?
9/20 for me. Most of these are so obscure, who the hell would know them?
I wouldn’t say obscure, but It was pretty rock-oriented this week.
19/20 with 1:40. This one was up my alley
Yup, I was expecting you and John to do well this week.
Stumbled through with guesswork to 18/20
Good effort – I struggled with it.
19/20 with 2:02. This was an odd one… some albums and artwork I’ve not seen before so quite a few lucky guesses. And kudos to Poison for the image/title gag. Well played!
Great work though – you scored 70% more than I did….
That was a tough one, but pleased with the outcome: 16/20.
You got roughly 3x as many as I did, so good job!
I got 12/20, which is horrible, but it was cool seeing a few familiar faces on there!
It was more than twice as many as I scored…
Oh wow, ok I did not expect that. Thanks for the quiz, by the way!
Thanks for playing!
