Let’s take another break from sorting albums this week and guess which half of the decade songs belong to. Remember that 1995 is in the decade’s second half.

I scored 37/40 – I need to bone up on my Roxette. It was easier than the 1980s one for me, maybe because I was a teenager during the 1990s.
Can you beat my score?
Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored 23/25 in last week’s quiz.
Here’s John Martyn with a capo-moving instrumental – fast forward to just after 1 hour.

29/40. There were a few that threw me. A couple I had no idea.
Good job!
Didn’t do the quiz, but holy capo Batman. Loved the clip of John Martyn, one of my faves. The man could play, no doubt about that. Thanks!
Never really gets mentioned as a great guitarist, and Richard Thompson is my favourite from that late 1960s British folk scene, but Martyn is still an amazing player.
31/40… passing grade so I’ll take it. Thanks as always for setting this up.
Currently winning (although it’s been quiet so far).
Score
29/40 ….the only reason I got some right was dumb luck and UK #1’s site and he just went over some of these….or at least the time span they were out.
Good work – yeah, I think UK #1s is up to about 2000 now – he just did U2’s ‘Beautiful Day’.
He is…and I just caught up with him…that is the reason I guessed as many as I did.
Did you see John Martyn sliding his capo in that video? Kind of crazy.
Yes…I would love to know what capo he is using. When I use them they are tight…if not the strings are dead. I need to check out what he uses. I’ve never had an expensive one….that is probably the problem.
I like how in one part it’s pretty much an electric guitar mixed with acoustic and he keeps the rhythm with his hand.
35/40 – I hated a lot of hip hop and rap from that decade, so those songs are mostly a blur for me
You did really well anyway.
Late to it this week – 35/40! The ones I didn’t get must have only been hits in the US…
Good job! Living in New Zealand is helpful as we get the cross section.
