We’re up to quiz 46 in our greatest hits sequence – congratulations for sticking it out so long.
This week’s seemed the easiest for a while – I could guess based on genre conventions.

I scored 15/20 but probably should have got a couple more.
Congratulations to Rich Kamerman, who scored 19/20 is last week’s quiz.
In bad news this week, power pop hero Matthew Sweet suffered a debilitating stroke while touring in Canada. You can support his GoFundMe here:

Here’s his Phil Spector-style classic ‘If Time Permits’.

17/20 for me this week
Great work, you’re currently tied for first but a few heavy hitters haven’t chimed in yet.
16/20 –
Great job!
I just randomly picked Matthew Sweet — Susannah Hoff’s, Under the Covers to listen to within the past week. So sorry to hear about his stroke 🙁
Sounds like Sweet’s fundraising is going well, but it’s a long road back to health.
13/20
Great score!
:::big smile::: Thanks, Graham!
Tough! 13/20…
Yeah, 13 is a good effort.
17/20 with 2:04 left. Better then last week and if I would’ve studied it a little more with the album covers, I might’ve gotten higher.
Great score. Picturing you surrounded by LPs, studying for next week’s quiz.
Epic fail….8/20 lol…try again next week!
Thanks for playing – not that bad, they’re getting obscure.
Score
15/20 I knew more than I thought. Many of them I remembered from years ago in other peoples record collection like… LRB.
I didn’t know that about Matthew Sweet…that is terrible.
Good score. It sounds like Sweet’s fundraising has been going well – famous friends like some of the R.E.M. guys have been chipping in.
Late entry here as I was out of town for a few days, but that obviously cleared my mind as I scored 20/20 with 1:25 left on the clock…thanks to a good guess at the end between Dollar and Sugarland. The rest was pretty easy. Very sad news about Matthew Sweet. I hope he has a full recovery and gets back to 100% (Fun) – sorry, I couldn’t resist the reference to my favorite Matthew Sweet album.
Great work – maybe I should recommend that all readers take a vacation!
I also wish for 100% fun.
