1. 21/21 1:28 left. Yeah! I know someone will beat my time, but it felt good to guess all and with no wrong guesses to boot! Will go back and see favorite combo and post it.

   • Hard to beat 18 Babies Bleed. My choice is Saddle Gun Dance. Sorry to hear about Cynthia Weil. Songs don’t get much better than, “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin” as sung by The Righteous Brothers.

     • Yup, I haven’t heard that song for years, but it’s great.

   • Great work – perfect score!

     • 🙂

2. I’m pleased to find out that I was the winner of last week’s quiz. Today is my birthday and I was hoping to make it two weeks in a row, but although I got 21/21, my timing (2:26 left on the clock) will likely not be good enough. Still a lot of fun.

   • Congrats and Happy Birthday, Rich!

     • Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. And nice job with your perfect score this week.

       • You’re very welcome and thanks.

   • Happy birthday! (although it’s already tomorrow here). Noone’s beaten your time yet.

3. 21/21, 2:21 left.

   • Perfect score!

4. 21/21 with 3:26 left on the timer – if there wasn’t a disco band called Love Dust Champions I’m very surprised

   • Great work, I think you’re the fastestso far.

     • I’ve recently upgraded to an espresso machine – I think it helps my performance in these

       • I only drink decaf coffee, otherwise I don’t sleep

         • I have had to introduce a cut-off with coffee to be fair so that I can. Otherwise I’ve taken my doc’s five-a-day recommendation very seriously

   • If I manage to put a band together, we will seriously consider that name. And we will then write a song called “Man from Kent.”

     • In keeping with the disco theme should it not be “Young Man from Kent”?

       • That depends. I think you may need a tad beyond the young stage?

         • Maybe ‘Middle-Aged Man Blues’

         • “You know a middle-aged man ain’t got nothin’ in the world these days.”

       • ‘May be’

5. 18/21 I didn’t know Van Halen, Aerosmith or The Black Eyed Peas, so guessed wrongly.

   • Not a fan of Aerosmith or Van Halen? I’m not huge on either but i like the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen.

6. 21/21 with 1:26 left. Still not fast enough, but i got them all right.

   • Haste makes waste, as my math teacher told mem

7. I have dabbled in a little bit of Van Halen recently but Aerosmith have never touched my radar. Maybe it’s time to dip my fingers. My problem is if I start listening to an artist I then feel that I need to review their entire back catalogue!

8. 21/21 with 3:21 left

   • Ooh, fast time and perfect score!

9. SCORE
   21/21
   TIMER
   02:12 One one I didn’t know and I saved it for last.
   I’ve seen those songwriters listed on a lot of songs.

   • Great work!

10. 9/21. Cynthia Weil post? Here’s mine:

    • Mann/Weil didn’t have as many good ones as all the other Brill Building guys but the ones they did were great. The Animals one and On Broadway are my favorites, and Walking in the Rain. Another one which they didn’t mention is Uptown. I never really liked You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling that much though. I don’t know why.

      • Interestingly, the Tony Awards the other night used ‘On Broadway’ as part of the opening number. And then later they showed Weil as part of the In Memoriam. Perhaps if there was no Writers’ Strike, the linkage might have been made by some enterprising writer. Can’t say.

        • I thought the writer’s strike was in Hollywood. Is it on Broadway too? I would just let them stay on strike forever, or just fire them all anyway, with all the shit movies they’ve been writing the last few years.

      • Still a pretty strong legacy. Who do you think the top-tier Brill people are – Goffin and King?

        • I would put a bunch in the top tier, but there’s not just one who I would say is the number one. But I would say these ones besides Goffin- King, not in any order at all

          Ellie Greenwich – Jeff Barry
          Burt Bacharach – Hal David
          Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman
          Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
          Neil Diamond
          Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller

          • Does Diamond have a significant body of work as a songwriter – I can only think of a couple of Monkees tunes.

          • Not really. But I was counting his songs that he recorded himself in the early days. It still wasn’t a real lot, so I was kind of putting quality over quantity. Ha ha

    • Yup, already commented! Although I assume you posted it for other readers’ benefit.

      • Yes, assuming they got that far

      • Once again I’m unable to comment on your site. I wanted to say something about The Seeds. But the box I’m offered to type in is just a bit longer than the words “Leave a Reply” and about half as deep vertically. Literally impossible.

        • Does it look better now?

          • I just posted. But I must say your site seems somewhat more problematic ever since your theme switch.

          • Sorry. I have fixed two comment things, look and caching, thanks to your feedback, and hopefully everything is easier going forward.
