For most of the week, it looked like ‘Advance Australia Fair’ was going to ring around the medal ceremony. A late entry from Rich Kamerman turned out to be the fastest time, just pipping Bruce. Congratulations to everyone who participated.
This week, there are more badly drawn albums.

It’s a little more into low-selling critics’ favourites territory than usual and there’s a bit more 21st-century stuff than usual. I scored 24/25. I played it a few months back and can’t remember which one I got wrong – although I imagine that I forgot the name of the Muse album.
A new Mitski song arrived yesterday – I think it’s excellent:

6/25 with 4:48 left. I gave up after finding the ones I recognized.
It was a lot further into music geek territory this week – stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel and Madvillainy.
A woeful 16/25 this week. If it was by artist name I would have gotten another 5 but my mind blanked on those album titles. Muse was among them.
I think 16 is a pretty solid score this week – we’ll see how it shakes out.
I got 20/25 with 06:08 left. Pretty cool challenge.
It was a bit less mainstream than usual – 20 might give you a shot of winning, I’m not sure how it’ll shake out.
SCORE
14/25 …. it was easy at first lol.
There’s a bit more niche stuff than usual in this quiz.
Yes I agree….
21 and then gave up – I knew the artist on at least one of the others but no idea on the other album names!
I think going through 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die gave you a bit of a step up this week.
It definitely helped with the Wire / Strokes / Tim Buckley albums!
20/25 for me and ran out of time.
Lots of 19s and 20s this week! Wonder if you’re all getting the same ones wrong.
I got 19. Even though I recognized some of the ones that I got wrong, I couldn’t get their title right.
Good effort though!
19/25 – I’ll take it. Had been waiting for new Mitski since her last album from like what, 2018?
Yup, my favourite of 2018 too.
24/25 – try as I might I couldn’t get the one with the dude with the helmet on. Some of those titles – like the Public Enemy one – were a job to type fast. Enjoyed that one a lot
Ooh, looks like you might win this week. That Public Enemy title is a mouthful.
11/25. I’m sure you can guess the ones I got.
The more vintage the more likely?
Of course!
I gave up as too many I was never going to figure out.
An embarrassing 8/25. I recognized the Band and Talking Heads albums but could not think of their titles.
I gave up at 4:28 left, with 17/25. About 5 more I knew the band but could not name the album (what do I know of Coldplay? etc) and a couple I just blanked on. I’m glad they padded the time for us slower typers.
I am not huge on Coldplay but my sister and wife both own Coldplay albums so I’m familiar with their first few.
Cool, that’ll help you out!
19/25 for me too. A couple I should’ve gotten but a few I didn’t know at all, old and new
Lots of 19s and 20s this week!
12 of 25 Like others, some I couldn’t pull the album cover, others never heard of the band. Listening to the Mitski and liking what i’m hearing.
Do you like Mitski’s other stuff?
Can’t say I’m a big fan but have been trying to listen to more of her stuff – I think you featured her on your blog a few weeks back which got me checking her out
