1. I should have done much better than my 20/25 score this week, since I was born in 1966 and consider myself a child of both the ’70s & ’80s.

   • You still beat me handily.

2. 18/25. remembered all of the songs. wasted a lot of time trying to get it to take simon & garfunkel (misspelled garfunkel) never heard of a couple of the groups (5 stairsteps and norman greenbaum?)

   • Good work, you beat me! Garfunkel is hard to spell. That Norman Greenbaum song is pretty iconic, I reckon. I heard it a lot on classic rock radio.

     • Thanks, Graham. I’m guessing the NG song was a one hit wonder?

       • Yeah, although he almost had a hit with The Eggplant That Ate Chicago in 1967.

         • lol I just listened to it. Not quite the oomph of Spirit in the Sky but not bad 🙂

3. This game keeps freezing my aging laptop, so I gave up. I actually recognized quite a few, but definitely would not have been able to get all 25.

   • Sorry! In this format it’s probably OK to just count up the ones you know? Although I kept trying to put Gaye and Terrell for the Diana Ross one….

4. 25/25 with 3:18 to spare. Nice performance by Dacus & Roan; I like them both.

   • Great work!

5. 24 /25 could not remember The Moments to save my life

   • I don’t think I’ve ever heard them mentioned.
