We’re still slogging through greatest hits collections. There were many artists I care deeply about in this edition. The Flaming Lips, Cheap Trick, Bo Diddley, Talk Talk, Tom Waits, Ariana Grande, and the Delfonics are all worthwhile.

Despite my enthusiasm, I scored 15/20 – you can probably beat me!
Here’s Bo Diddley on the Ed Sullivan show in 1955:

20/20 today! 1.20 on the timer.
Perfect score! Although I think Tony pipped you for time.
16/20 which is amazing considering most were guesses 🙂
That’s some top-drawer guessing – you beat me.
17/20 – 02:03 – Surprised myself
Good work!
11/20….as you can tell a lot of guessing, but fun!
Sometimes the guessing is the fun bit!
20/20 with 3:14 on the timer. I’ve owned quite a few of these over the years but Tom Waits’ Asylum Years got a lot of plays – Martha is an absolute favourite. I’m going to have to dig that out now
Good work – second perfect score already.
I’ve never heard Asylum Years, as I have all the individual albums. Martha is from the debut Closing Time, one of my Waits favourites.
15/20 today… The guesses weren’t on my side today
15 is pretty good though!
A pitiful 13/30 for me
Uncharacteristically low by your standards, but still a good effort.
16/20… I got the same error on your page….I’m trying this on the reader side.
Good work – is it just that page that’s having issues?
No…anytime I go on your site…so I’ve been commenting in the Reader…it has to be my profile…I’ll try it next time out of that google profile.
