Congratulations to Pierce from https://thepressmusicreviews.wordpress.com/ who snuck in a second faster than Tony to win last week’s challenge in a blistering minute.
This week, unsurprisingly, it’s Find the Band Members Part 2. I think they’re getting easier as we work backwards.

I got them all correct with 2:32 remaining. There were a few people having issues with Sporcle last week. If it keeps happening I’m happy to consider a different platform at some point (Jet Punk has been suggested), although I’d like to finish this series first.
Speaking of happy, please enjoy this recently unearthed Stones’ footage from 1973.

The Stones footage…that sound has been missing since Mick Taylor left.
Ooh fast time.
I liked this one.
I initially had an issue with Sporcle today, but when I re-loaded the quiz it worked fine. Got 24/24 with 3:50 left on the clock. You’re right that they keep getting easier, but still fun.
I think someone beat you, but that’s a very fast time.
24/24 with 2:01. How is it possible people are beating my (I thought) fast time by almost two minutes? You can’t even scan the page that fast .
Yup, I’ve been consistently around the 2:30 mark in the last few, and have been getting smashed. I’ve never been good at facial recognition though – it’s a running joke with my wife about how I’m terrible at it.
I’m good at facial recognition. But unless you somehow take a mental snapshot of all those faces, you lose time just by having to search.
There might be some technique like looking through them all first that works. I normally just pick off the easy ones first, but I’m obviously not very fast.
I’ll probably be the only person not to get perfect this go around. 23/24.
It’s funny, because Paul clocked in with a 23/24 a couple of minutes after you.
23 of 24 with 2:43 left – made a stupid mistake betw the pop boy band and DC.
Beyonce in One Direction would be interesting….
24/24 with 2:35 left
You beat my time!
I suck at Sporcle games so I’m not gonna try, but I sure as heck can watch a clip of unearthed Stones footage! 🙂
It’s crazy that here we are, nearly 50 years later, and the Stones are still playing these songs – baby, that’s keeps me happy!
It’s a shame there’s no Charlie though – I guess the crucial axis of the band – Jagger/Richards – is still there.
24/24 with 2:37 left. 2nd time with all of them right. Yay!
You beat my time so good work!
Thanks, Graham!
nice treat on the Stones video. Too bad it’s so jerky but the sound is good.

Wow – you and Tony are like a level faster than everyone else at these ones.
Ok not bad! I got 19/24 with 2:22 left. You’re right about the quizzes getting easier, which I appreciate very much haha.
Yup, maybe into the 20s next week?
Hopefully, fingers crossed!
I’ve switched to Honduran and desktop as the smaller screen of a mobile doesn’t bode for quizzes like this:

Timer: 04:10
I can’t believe you were getting those super fast times on mobile!
20. Some of them I just didn’t know. I’ve never heard of the Replacements, for example
The Replacements are one of my favourite bands!
24/24 with 3:34 left. I thought that was going to be quick but Tony and Pierce did it again.
24/24 with 3:51 left! I guess I redeemed myself from the awful performance I had on the first one of these.
Ooh, fast time as well.
22/24. Can you even believe that I got Pink Floyd wrong? The other one I got wrong was Black Eyed Peas. I ignored my first instinct and picked someone else. If you’re not sure, I think the best thing is to go with your first instinct. So I’m not surprised that I got that one wrong. But Pink Floyd I got wrong??? Can you believe that?
Not really. I almost did too. It is a very old photo. Anyway, at least you didn’t think Beyonce was Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas as I did!
I normally go through and pick out the easy ones first. I thought Mr Waters was pretty distinctive looking. I’d find Gilmour or Barrett harder I think.
23/24 3:17 to go. I saw my error as I was clicking and couldn’t stop myself gah.
Good effort anyway.
Thanks, it was one of those Homer moments… “D’oh!”
