ReplyDeleteI do like the feature, of course, but yet again I see the answers and there are some acts I have never heard of (3 and 5), some whose music I am totally unfamiliar with (10, 9, 8 and 7) and the others are names I recognise but know maybe three of their tunes, or 2 or 1..and when the answer is revealed this week I know only ONE of the songs. Will this stop me joining in next week? Of course not
ReplyDeleteNo one said life was supposed to be easy, George...
DeleteYou are not alone George but I keep coming back for more. It always bothers me a bit that I tend to know all the artists from WAY back in the day but absolutely no-one from the 21st century. I think I got to 40 and my brain shut down - too much in there already so no space for anything new.
DeleteVery good as always, thanks Rol, a welcome distraction from all that other stuff going on. D'you know, I was going to suggest Annie Lennox just from the picture but I couldn't figure out how the clue fitted and started to doubt myself so I kept schtumm. I can understand it now but I should have more faith!
