1. Sorry I couldn’t participate last week but I was at the beginning of a family emergency that is still ongoing (but fortunately stable right now). Looking at the clues I would have done horribly. Not so this week, as I scored an easy 20/20 with 6:04 left on the clock. I’m also “up” enough to recognize the album cover in this post.

   • I hope your family is doing better now. You’re the only person to get the bonus point so far.

2. SCORE
   20/20
   TIMER
   06:02 This was the easiest one I’ve done so far…and I don’t mind.

   • Perfect score fast time.

3. 20/20, same time remaining as Rich. Most easiest ever.

   • Great minds…as they say. Of course Tony will get 20/20 with 6:58 remaining so I don’t expect us to come out on top. 😀

     • Yeah, I know. It’s futile. Like that lawyer in the old Perry Mason show that always lost to him but just kept trying. Let’s just give it to Tony now and forget about it.

       • Tony hasn’t won for a few weeks, but I agree that he has a fearsome reputation.

     • You hold the tie break with the bonus question.

   • Yup a speed test this week.

4. 19/20 with 5:40 left. No clue on the banner. They were all easy except that one!

   • Good work?

     • Thanks!

   • I mean good work!

     • 🙂

5. 20/20 with 5:53 left. Thought I was good but evidently not as quick as the others.

   • About the same speed as me!

6. 20/20. I have to admit that I guessed the rappers though, so I only actually knew 18. The others who got 20 probably knew all 20.

   • You must be good at guessing rappers.

     • Well with a 2 in 4 chance I’m ok.

7. 20/20 with an even 6:00 on the clock. I thought the P was Gary Numan and thoroughly confused myself, especially given the album artwork you’ve got Up there and having listened to him a fair bit of late.

   • That Gabriel picture took me a while too even though he’s one of my faves. Often he covers himself in face paint or something.

8. 20/20 with 6:01 remaining. Would’ve been faster but I don’t think I’d ever seen a picture of the ‘C’ artist. Process of elimination and I guessed (correctly).
   That album cover is Up (Peter Gabriel).

   • Good work on Up – you’re the second person to get it.

     • Noice!

9. 20 – but not nearly speedy enough to be a contender!

   • I also was off the pace…

10. 20/20 with 5:46 remaining – almost matched your time! Agree one of the easier ones you had!

    • Maybe should get a harder one for Christmas Eve (NZ time).

11. 20/20 w/ 5:36 left – C was the most difficult for me.
    I liked the new Taylor Swift album as much as Folklore, w/ ‘Long Story Short’ as my favourite (reminds me of Postal Service). I also liked the new Paul McCartney album as well, w/ ‘When Winter Comes’ as my favourite (how has he been hiding that song for nearly 30 years?).

    • I’m actually listening to Folklore right now. Have you seen the fan theory that Evermore is the second part of a trilogy, based on one of the Folklore cover arts?
      I’m always a bit reluctant to dive into late period records as it looks weird having a review page where I haven’t covered anything for 20 years and then suddenly right eview the latest. I barely know solo McCartney really – mainly reliant of the Wingspan compilation. I generally feel like the Beatles did 90% of their best stuff in 1970 or earlier – even solo, that’s All Things Must Pass, Plastic Ono Band, and ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’. Do you like his other stuff?

      • I’ve heard the theory but there was a Jimmy Kimmel interview with her saying that one of the cover art has a placeholder name which was meant to be removed but wasn’t and she said that she was tired after making the new album. Making two albums like that in quick succession, it justifed being tiring.
        I like his solo material as I like his contributions to the Beatles more than John. I don’t mind his ‘laidback’ lyrics as long as the music is good.
