Congratulations to Tony, who just pipped Max and Eclectic Music Lover for the fastest time in last week’s Blackboard Musicians quiz. This week you need to click the red albums – it’s straightforward.

I scored 15/15 with 3:55 remaining – can you beat my time?
Last week’s bonus clue was a little tricky. The Punk Panther’s guess of JFK appearing in ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ was credible, but the answer I was looking for was Itzhak Perlman. Perlman played violin on the Storm Front track ‘The Downeaster Alexa’. He was originally credited as “World Famous Incognito Violinist”, as he couldn’t be named for legal reasons, but he later appeared with Joel to play the song live at Madison Square Gardens.

Phew, that was a tough one at the end but still managed 15/15 with 4:08 left on the clock.
Good work – you’re the only 100% so far.
12/15 with 2:54 left
Good work – thanks for playing!
I enjoyed that one. Thank you and you’re welcome, Graham!
12/15. The comment on top said, “Oh, you’re halfway there. Whoa — livin’ on a prayer.” Do I get extra points for its lousy math?
Maybe it thinks the first 9 are gimmes and don’t count?

Good score!
Couldn’t properly guess Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’
15/15 with 3:57 left. Perfect score but I pretty much knew I wouldn’t be the fastest.
Good work – thanks for playing.
15 of 15 with 3:22 left. Made some lucky guess at the end. I did on phone which for once worked ok although album pics were a bit small
Perfect score – great work!
13/15 this time…I guessed and it didn’t pay off this time.
There were a couple I wasn’t sure about – I thought that Smashing Pumpkins album had a black and white cover.
That was one that I missed also. I got one…I guess I can say it now..right just because of the cover…the one with “anger” in it…I matched it to the fist I believe and got it right. Metallica is not a strong suit for me.
I used to think they were terrible because of their later stuff, but I e come around to the 1980s material.
I need to be more open minded and listen to more of them. In the coming weeks I might listen to Master of Puppets…from what I hear that is the one.
15/15 w/ 4:02 left – majority of them I knew.
Good work breaking the four minute barrier.
I only got 7/15 and I don’t think I beat the clock. Thanks for the quiz though; it was kind of fun!
Thanks for playing!
No problem!
I love how you got the picture of The Man Machine up there.
It was in the quiz, so it was fair game.
15/15 with 4:18 left on the clock. Finally one I was good at!! LOL!!
Ooh, I think you’re the fastest time so far.
nice!!
10/15. I knew only eight, and successfully guessed two.
That was a good trivia question on Itzhak Perlman.
I remember reading the liner note as a young Joel fan and being fascinated by the label “world famous incognito violinist”.
15 – and I foolishly closed the window before recording the time, there’s no chance it was in the 4s though so I’ll be in the middle of the pack, somewhere in the 3 and a half minute range!
You’re normally pretty fast though!
15/15 with 4:22 left.
Looks like you got the fastest time, but I already had this week’s post scheduled so I might give John Snow his moment of glory this week.
No worries, I am just playing catch-up!
