Congratulations to James, from KeepsMeAlive, who scored the fastest time in last week’s 5 Letter Words in 1990s Songs quiz
This week your challenge is to match the live album to the artist.

I got down to a 50/50 guess at the end but I was fortunately correct, so I scored 15/15 with 3:07 remaining. Can you beat my time?
I was surprised to find that my 8-year-old’s library book, Pizza and Taco Rock Out, had a few neat musical references. They dropped some shoutouts to Nirvana and KISS, but my favourite reference was in their logo – they decided to call their band “Awesome Yass”.

Nope, I got all 15 but you beat me by 7 seconds
Great effort!
15/15 That was easy as pie. Piece of cake. I forgot to look at the time though, but I think it was pretty fast.
I don’t know if I can compare “pretty fast” with “3:10 remaining”….
I looked it up and Wiki says “pretty fast” = 3:12″. HA HA!!!!
Dang, I really shouldn’t do these quizzes while I’m listening to music. This was an easy one for me (I own 13 of these albums) but a silly mistake on an album & artist I know well left me with a score of 14/15. I think I would have matched your time otherwise. Cool kid’s book, especially that logo.
I think I’ve only owned about 1/3 of them. They didn’t include the last live album I reviewed – Gotta Let This Hen Out! Great title, but a bit niche I guess.
15/15
3:10 remaining
Oooh, fast!
15/15, 2:43 remaining so not fastest time. It was only through judicious guessing that I got the last four. And the album they call “At the Fillmore East,” is actually called “At Fillmore East.”
Good work! I once listened to At Fillmore East on repeat during an afternoon of asbestos removal.
Really? Given your relative lack of blues desire I didn’t have you marked as being anywhere close to an Allmans listener. What’s your opinion of that album?
I haven’t listened for a while but I like it. They’re not quite a straight blues band in my books, and Duane Allman is one of my favourite guitarists.
Well, you’re full of surprises. I must have written about ABB a hundred times but I don’t recall any comments from your end. You’re right in that they are not a straight blues band but some of those tunes are either derived from old blues tunes or, like “Stormy Monday,” are straight-up blues. As to Duane, well, he’s my favorite (along with Clapton) so that’s good to hear. I may resurrect an old post around this topic.
Allman had a pretty short recording career, but he has all these cool cameos, like with Laura Nyro or Aretha Franklin.
8/15. Not my area of expertise.
Thanks for playing!
I’m with you there this week James – picked up 8 right out of the gate, and then 0 for 7 on the guesses!
Sounds like a tough week for guessing.
SCORE
15/15
TIMER
02:00 That was pretty easy except the two (IM and the Ram) I had left…I guessed between them and got em.
I think REO Speedwagon and Lynyrd Skynyrd was where I needed the 50/50 guess.
I had friends who liked REO so I knew them.
5/15 Had no idea on 10 of them, and kept guessing wrong. Albums just aren’t my thing.
Doesn’t sound like very lucky guessing…
No, not at all…
15/15 in 3:20. A couple I didn’t know but was able to figure them out by elimination and knowing that REO Speedwagon usually have shite album titles.
That’s a sensible rationale about REO Speedwagon – I didn’t know that one either.
13/15 here.
Good work!
15/15 with 2:23 left. So not as fast, but I got them all right.
Great effort!
