Noone scored 20 in last week’s quiz – congratulations to Tony, EclecticMusicLover, and Rich Kamerman, who all peaked at 19.
There’s more of the same this week – can you identify 20 more greatest hits albums. I found the selection of artists relatively well-known this week. But some covers were tough to identify.
I scored 17 – can you beat my score?
I maintain that Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker is one modern artist who captures the songwriting chops and gravitas of prime Dylan, The Band, and Neil Young. She’s just released a new solo album, here’s a live version of ‘Vampire Empire’.

Between The Chicks, The Corrs and the surprising inclusion of both Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, I had just a couple of stumbles, so only 18/20 for me this week.
I think I got the Chicks and the Corrs. Corrs were big when I was in my teens.

Almost identical to nostalgicitalian!
14/20. The 2 starships through me off (going too fast.) Kid Rock’s cover surprised me.
I didn’t know how to tell the Jeffersons apart – some of my wrong answers.
And I see I misspelled through (threw) lol.
Lenker sounds good. I added her to my WMM (which filled almost through 2027 now)
Lenker’s made a lot of great music in the last five years – super prolific.
SCORE
16/20 WS has a greatest hits? I got the Jefferson 3…but the some of the others I had no clue.
I can’t remember who, but some artist has a compilation titled something like “Greatest Hit (and ten other songs)”.
I saw one – never bought or listened though – by Dream Theatre called Greatest Hits (and 21 other pretty cool songs)
I think that’s the one I was thinking of actually.
That is great.
Tony figured it out – it was Dream Theater.

Great work!
A very lucky 20/20 – it was a coffee pod toss between which cover was Jefferson Starship or Starship so could’ve just as easily gone the wrong way.
Great work – it was a mean trick having both Jeffersons in the same quiz.
Since discovering Big Thief a couple of years back when UFOF was on one of those free-with-magazine-CDs, their and Adrianne Lenker’s work has continued to be a seemingly never-ending pool of delight.
Yup, I only picked up on them after UFOF as well. But lots of great stuff both before and after that.
18/20 with a miscue on Jefferson Starship and Jefferson Airplane…oops.
Those were tricky to have in the same quiz.
19/20 for me
Great work!
19/20 with 2:11 left. Lots of lucky guessing today,
Good guessing skills!
