17/20 for me. I was stumped by two 3-word bands and a boy band. I’m aware of all three but obviously couldn’t name any of their songs.
Not sure which three word band you mean – Stone Boomtown Dolls?
I scored 17/20
Thanks for joining in – hope you enjoyed it!
I did!
Things didn’t start off too well but I managed 17/20 as well.
The scores are very monochrome so far this week!
Worse week I’ve had… 15/20
To be honest I was getting sick of all the 17s and 18s.
18/20 – don’t know the artist that did ‘Three Times a Lady’ and ‘I Don’t Have the Heart’. These quizzes are really scrapping the barrel now, aren’t they?
Apparently the former did some cool stuff, but the Lionel Richie ballads took off and made them change tack.
18/20 for me. Not a bad week.
Yup, only one person’s got past 18 this week.
19/20 this week – I struggled with spelling for a bit on the Adia singer and I’ve never heard of the Just Once, There’s No Easy Way singer
Top score this week. I know the Just Once.. guy mainly from the Yacht Rock webseries.
What is yacht rock?
There’s a webseries on Youtube focusing on the exploits of Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald in the 1970s. James Ingram is on the Jimmy Buffett episode.
17 – and after seeing the answers, maybe I should have got the radioactive man sidekick, possibly could have gotten the avian band, and I don’t remember ever hearing the name of the one singer-songwriter. But then I realized I’d heard his Linda Ronstadt duet many times!
I mainly know Ingram from Yacht Rock.
Just like many cities here in the US, I am going down in flames. A measly 10 of 20, but I will soldier on I guess. Just a very difficult week here – as if the pandemic and depression era economics weren’t enough, now we have a full blown social crisis here in the US, non-existent (check that, corrosive) leadership at the top – just very depressing all around.
He’s done an awful job with the riots – blaming Antifa and posting inflammatory things. I’m amazed anyone outside the 1% still like him.
Sorry about being such a downer. On a lighter note, you asked about the new Jason Isbell album – absolutely loving it – I think Letting Go of You will be the song I will be dancing to with my daughter at her wedding – which wont’ be for a while! – she’s twelve. 🙂
I was just listening to it earlier this afternoon too. It’s good. I like the daughter song. I do think he’s best at writing and singing acoustic and personal songs. I reckon he should do a collaborative record to show off his lead guitar skills.
