There might be one final outtakes quiz, but we’ve reached the end of the alphabet. There aren’t many famous X,Y, and Z albums – even with all three, I think it’s one of the tougher quizzes in the series.

I’m obviously ineligible to compete.
Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored the fastest time in last week’s quiz.
I realised I only knew one song by the late Lou Christie – so here’s another one:

A paltry 7/15 for me this week, as I knew only two albums, by The Police and Al Stewart. I remember that Lou Christie song. A weird video of him lip-syncing the song in a wrecking yard, and wow, he had a hairy chest!
I think this one was pretty hard, not many x,y,z albums.
A couple of lucky guesses netted my 13/15 with 4:53 on the clock. Several of those are very familiar!
Great work – I assume Yes, Flaming Lips, and YMO are among your favourites from that selection.
Spot on, mate!
8/15 this week. Some of those were hard!
But you scored more than 50%, so good work. I’m surprised Aretha Franklin is among the least guessed – I thought ‘Rock Steady’ was an acknowledged classic.
Slinging in my lot at 14/15. I own / adore more than half of these so was off to a caffeine-fuelled flyer once I saw the spread of covers.
Great work – I thought it was an obscure bunch this week.
7/15…some real guessing going done. Thanks for setting this up…
And thanks for playing!
Score
9/15…guessing upon guessing… I knew that song but didn’t know it was Lou Christie.
Good work. I only knew one Christie song, so it was nice to hear another one.
He also shared the same awful manager with Badfinger…he got taken but not as much.
