Congratulations to J () who scored 20/20 in 1:42 on naming rock albums from the 1990s. Rich and Geoff also scored perfect marks, but not quite so quickly. This week’s challenge is to name the classic rock song in other…
For some reason I never found Aretha Franklin’s original studio albums in second-hand bins, and for years the only album I owned from her was a double disc retrospective. The second disc dabbles in her 1980s work, with star power…
Congratulations to Stephen1001 () for scoring 19/20 in last week’s music quiz, and nailing the very cryptic clue for ‘Dear Prudence’. This week’s game is simple – name the album from the back cover. The artist name is also acceptable.…

Can you link the song titles to the literal band images? It’s relatively straightforward, but I thought it was a well executed and fun idea. I scored 100%, but you can try and beat my time of 1 minute…
Right now, I have created 63 artist pages on this blog, and 59 of them are white. Two of the four non-white artists covered are relatively obscure New Zealand acts. And here’s a random selection of ten songs that my…
