It’s ANZAC Day here in New Zealand, where we remember the Gallipoli campaign, a disastrous attack on a Turkish peninsula during World War 1. It also would have been my dad’s 80th birthday – he was born during World War 2.
This week you challenge is twenty more greatest hits albums.

I scored 17/20. I don’t think I’d even heard of McFly, and I got them wrong. Can you beat me?
I met my Waterloo last week, with a mere 5/20. Meanwhile, other players fared better, with Deke and Heavy Metal Overlord both scoring 19.
I enjoyed this article about one music fan’s efforts to ignite Billy Joel’s stalled career in 1974 – https://keithyates.com/the-time-a-stiff-caught-fire

Hi G. I’m terrible at these quizzes, but love your work always. Please send more band reviews and top ten lists. So great!
Thanks for your ongoing readership.
11/20
Good job.
🙂 Thanks!
16/20…with 1:40 remaining. This was fun.
Thanks for playing, good effort.
14/20 – Wasn’t familiar with a few, and my guesses didn’t prove fruitful.
Good job anyway!
SCORE
12/20 ….and most of the ones I got right were guesses.
The whole series feels quite British, probably a bit more exposed to these artists in NZ.
Same here, Max. Mostly guesses.
17/20 too! And McFly are brilliant – best British pop group of the 21st century!
Good work – I think you’re the highest-scoring contestant so far. Sounds like I should check out McFly.
20/20 – it came down to a lucky coin flip for Aqua vs Toto. That’s a brilliant article too
Great job. Makes you think how many super talented artists got buried after an unsuccessful record or two.
17/20 for me and I missed McFly.
Pretty McFly for a Snow guy.
Well… 13/20… not so bad considering I had no clue about 90% of these.
Yeah, these quizzes are pretty English centric.
