16/20. That stinks but I’m posting here because, well, that’s what a man gotta do.
Unfortunately we can’t give out extra marks for honesty.
Its still the best policy.
Paul Simon said all he got was honesty and he wanted tenderness. Billy Joel said tenderness isn’t hard to find, but honesty is such a lonely word.

Do you think Simon was referencing Redding?
No, do you?
Maybe? Tenderness is a pretty unusual word. I don’t know if I’ve ever said it out loud.
Well, try a little …..
Happy to report that I tied our host at 18/20. I’m aware of the two I missed but never would have gotten them no matter how long I stared at the album covers & song titles. I met one of these artists in the late-’80s. Can you guess which one?
Were you late for the meeting? It would have been OK, because Tom waits.
18 – missed the teen idols from the 80s & 2000s!
I think those are the two I missed too. We need to research teen idols.
19/20 for me. I think I missed one of the 80s teen idols that Geoff missed.
I think, if I was allowed on the scoreboard, you and I would be equal now – you’ve caught up.
SCORE
17/20
This one was a little rougher
The average mark was a little lower than previous weeks, although marks from contestants have been pretty solid.
19/20 – don’t know the artist who sang ‘Paper Planes’.
I know the artist who sang ‘Lost in Your Eyes’ as I have a vinyl LP of an album of hers and I know the artist who sang ‘What a Man Gotta Do’ as the song ‘Only Human’ was annoyingly on the radio all the time here in Australia.
I like the ‘Paper Planes’ artist a lot. ‘Mango Pickle Down River’ has some Australian content.
14/20 again. Even though I’m last at least I’m better than the the 60% average with 70%!
Yes, it’s a tough crowd of competitors on this page.
This was the hardest one yet. 15/20 for me.
IMO they got harder around #8. Doesn’t seem to be slowing down the front-runners though.
There is no catching them.
20 / 20 this week. I’ll gladly admit that the Lost In Your Eyes was a pure fluke of a guess. I’ve not heard it nor am in a rush to do so. But I do feel the need for some Low Rider now
I’ve heard of her, but It would never occur to me to guess her.
Hi Graham, weird that I did this I think Sunday night or Monday but doesn’t seem to have gotten to you. I got 16 of 20 – perhaps I forgot to push send? I should have know something was up when I didnt hear from you – you are always really good about responding.
I’ve added you now. No one else has entered yet.
