link name the bands. 270 in all, only got 115, hopefully more will come me during the day! |
| Carrots Of The Piratebean 04.03.2005 09:00 |
I'm at 140 so far |
| The Fairy King 04.03.2005 14:10 |
156 out of 270 :D Muse aren't on it -.-" Milli Vanilli are o.0 soooo wrong! xD |
| Lady Cool Cat 04.03.2005 18:24 |
Oh, well...I suck at these music quizzes... |
| Bohardy 04.03.2005 21:14 |
173 so far. There's a fair few I know that I just can't remember the names of just yet. There's some quality blasts from the pasts there though. Alisha's Attic...Wilson-Phillips...Housemartins...The Communards... Random. |
| wesi72 04.03.2005 21:16 |
Only 149...mind it's getting late here! Some blasts from the past...Black Lace, Sleeper, Dexys...happy days! |
| Bohardy 04.03.2005 21:54 |
Black Lace! THAT'S who those 2 fucking muppets are! I've been wracking my brains for ages trying to remember that. I knew I knew them, and I knew they were twats. Anyway, I'm on 190 now. |
| iron eagle 04.03.2005 23:12 |
i got 98 thus far toughie |
| eggy 05.03.2005 05:13 |
Upto 182 now, a friend at work has 221, so i've gotta try a bit harder. Theres a few i know but the names just don't come to me until i'm walking around the town and go "that's it, the crash test fucking dummies". Boy do I look cool! |
| Penetration_Guru 05.03.2005 10:05 |
When you've given up, give me a shout and I'll give you the answers |
| Penetration_Guru 05.03.2005 10:41 |
And to be fair to IE, it's pretty UK-specific. |
| Haystacks Calhoun 05.03.2005 11:37 |
Tough for us 31 year old Americans.... I've gotten 112 so far, without help.... But a lot of these I have simply no clue, as most look like they are 80's synth Gay Bar musicians....with a few 60's wanna be's, and the like. |
| Bohardy 05.03.2005 14:31 |
211 now. Wait, let me find the Crast Test Dummies...212 now. Thanks eggster! |
| Penetration_Guru 05.03.2005 15:59 |
Anyhting above that is pretty impressive. I got to about 190 before I cheated and found all the recent ones lower down that I was clueless about. Although I did get Outkast Dave Clarke Five deep purple and even flock of seagulls! but should really have got Living In A Box & Bad COmpany... |
| Jjeroen 05.03.2005 16:50 |
Tsss... Nice, but not exactly right. But let's turn the creators' failure in something joyfull. Here's ROUND TWO just for you: *There is one picture in there from a TRIBUTE BAND!! Name the real band and get a special bonus for naming the band that is actually in the picture!* |
| geeksandgeeks 05.03.2005 19:05 |
I got up to 107 before I had to leave. Don't think I was going to get too many more - I don't know what most of these guys look like. Though my score was better than my boyfriend's. 34. I knew he was a philistine, but I didn't know he was THAT bad. |
| Bohardy 06.03.2005 13:37 |
220 now...must beat eggy's mate's record. For the tribute act question I reckon either #65 (no idea who they are, they just look wrong) or The Village People. |
| Jjeroen 06.03.2005 14:08 |
Nope... hehehe But come on: they have a tribute band, which meens they will probably pretty well known! (And they ARE indeed ;-) One of these days I will tell. But I'm not going to spoil round two just yet. |
| iron eagle 06.03.2005 14:43 |
i swear there is a pic of kashagoogoo there me knowing boy bands scared the *F* out of me |
| wesi72 06.03.2005 15:18 |
I have bought a good few of no. 65's singles. I'm struggling a bit with this - got up to 172, but I know I should know at least another 20 or 30...the male groups with girl singers are causing some problems. Oh and it's Kajagoogoo, hope that helps, they are there! |
| Penetration_Guru 06.03.2005 15:19 |
There is, you're just spelling it wrong. And the tribute band is obvious, once you know there is one. The bassist looks right, guitarist & drummer nobody ever recognises anyway, but the singer is too fat in the face. Am I right? |
| Bohardy 06.03.2005 16:47 |
I've beaten eggy's mates record. I've got 222 now. And I reckon Kiss is the answer to jeroen's question. That and Kings Of The Nighttime World, or Kissnation. Proably the former. |
| LiveAidQueen 06.03.2005 17:40 |
63, Aren't I a smarty... |
| Jjeroen 06.03.2005 17:52 |
And we have a winner!!! The Guru strikes again. Congratulations PG! ;-) Indeed the Gene Simmons dude looks pretty good, but the other three gave themselves away in a split second (well, to me anyway). Hmmm... now I have to think of a prize, right? ;-) |
| iron eagle 06.03.2005 21:40 |
i believe i am spelling it right...guess not same with 83 hmmmmmmmmm |
| eggy 07.03.2005 05:23 |
Nearing 200 now (197). If only I wasn't busy over the weekend! Can't believe I only just recognised Squeeze. Given me hope there more to get anyway! |
| wesi72 07.03.2005 16:21 |
Done it! Got about 200 by myself, the rest with help from mates!!! Now I can have my life back again ;-) |
| The Real Wizard 08.03.2005 01:43 |
Wow, I'm amazed at how many of you have gotten over 100. I consider myself to be musically diverse, and I got 61 - but over half the stuff I listen to isn't pop. There's far too much brit-pop in the quiz for my tastes. How'd you learn so much anyway, Geeks? :P |

Just not my musical taste in this list (way to much soul/hip-hop/r&b stuff from the 60/70/80's) |
| Bohardy 08.03.2005 15:27 |
It's very UK-biased, GH. There's a lot of shit bands there that were one-hit-wonder types. Anyway, I'm on 225 and pretty much calling it a day. What do I win?... Oh, and who's number 65 then Wesi? |

Couple of old ones doing my head in!! I've got #65. Calling it a day unless someone can give me some of the answers or tips:- #9,10,23,26,47,54,67,68,73,84,86,88,89,90,94,102,107,112,130,137,138,139,140,147,152,153,158,169, 192,194,196,197, 202,203,204,206,207,209,212,215,219,221,222,223, 227,230,234,236,237,241,247,254,258,260,263,264, 265.

IE: in the UK we spell 'travelling' with 2 l's... W-A-T-C: 9 = L,B 10 = L,P 26 = S,S,C 47 = T,D 54 = B,B 264 = J,B,A,T,M There's a few hints for starters. How about you help me on 27,31,41,49,65 and 97? I'm guessing you're of an older generation than I as you seem to not know most of the newer bands... You seem to have all the ones I haven't got, and I seem to have all the ones you haven't. Between us I reckon we'd complete this. |
| iron eagle 08.03.2005 17:25 |
agh! 49- hard to give a hint without giving it away-- instrument in picture--70s band the others are ones i have not figured out yet either... |
| Mr.Jingles 08.03.2005 17:41 |
77 so far I feel so ashamed, but there's too many Brit pop acts that are not well known in America. That makes it harder. |
| eggy 08.03.2005 18:05 |
Bohardy - 31 read my previous post 49 - Mr Blue Sky my friend has 65. I'll tell you that tomorrow 210 now. main ones pissing me off are 12 and 16! |

Need further clues for 10,47 & 54. You're right....older generation over 40's brigade: the ones who haven't watched TOTP in years but watch VH1!! Hints: 27 F, A 31 Hug someone (too easy) 41 80's band...had a hit with an American bomber plane. 49 70/80,s band from Birmingham. Think Ludwig Van. 65 F,P 97 Famous bassist last name and colour. Any problems let me know. There are some on there where I haven't a clue!!! |

Mrs Thatcher banned them and set the police on them!!! |
| eggy 08.03.2005 18:46 |
207 is getting on my nerves as well, cos the main guy so looks like Danny Mcnamara from embrace, but it obviously isn't. 184, 188 are ones which my dad will kill me for not knowing! |
| Brimon 08.03.2005 19:00 |
188. F.B.T. |
| Bohardy 09.03.2005 06:17 |
Thanks guys. 27 - Still no idea 31 - I forgot you'd mentioned Squeeze! Still can't recognise Jools though 41 - Got it. Wouldn't have recognised them them though. 49 - Still no idea 65 - Got it. Had no idea what they looked like though. 97 - Got it. I recognise the bloke now. Clues for you guys: 10 - 16th President, recreational area. 12 - Electricians? 16 - Vince Clarke was originally a member of this 80s synth/pop act who are still going today. 47 - Determined, 4th letter (it's Jack Black's band if you didn't know) 54 - Animal lads? They fought for their right to party. 188 - F,B,T. They did a song with Bananarama in the early 80s. 207 - Imposters? The main guy's actually at the back. A Madchester-type band. 184 I've no idea on either. I need clues for: 86 103 112 130 156 |

Last post on this topic!!! Finally given up on this difficult and frustrating quiz. Score is 250. Only 20 short!! For anyone who's interested need the following:- 86,88,90,112,130,169,206,209,215,219,221,227,234, 237,241,247,258,259,250,263. There you have it. They're all brit pop/indie bands; have no idea what they look like!!. One of them's an all girl band...can't think of many and two are old artists. Any further help appreciated. |
| We Are The Champions 12.03.2005 11:27 |
This quiz is doing my head in!!! I've got 256 with only 14 left!! Can anyone give me any ideas of the following answers: 86 90 112 130 169 206 209 215 219 234 237 241 250 258 Cheers!!! |

86 - Had a hit with 'Mr Jones'. 90 - Eddie Vedder's band 112 - There's a young George Ivan Morrison there... 130 - From Bradford I think. Rock music, but biggest hit was 'Tequila'. 169 - Mid 80s band. Harked back to doo-wop, soul and Motown. Choreographed dance moves and tight musicianship. 206 - Lead singer Bobby Gillespie. Had an album called 'Screamadelica'. 209 - Never heard of them. 215 - Very recent one-hit-wonders from 219 - One of their members famously chucked a bucket of water over John Prescott at some function. I think it's spelt wrong. 234 - Can't tell you a lot about them, except they're early 90s, and have a stupid name about someone's nuclear waste receptacle. 237 - As above, but this time they're named after after someone who's a perpetual shagging engine. 241 - The US equivalent of Hear'Say. 250 - I know bugger-all about them. 258 - US all-girl grunge shockers. Famous for chucking a used tampon into the crowd at Reading Festival. When PG posted his thread with all the answers I gave in to temptation and filled in the blanks. I still win though! |

Funny thing is, I've heard of some of these band but never knew what they looked like!!! 250 doesn't even appear in the latest Guiness Book of hit singles!!! Had a job correctly spelling 237 but got there in the end.!!! 237's name had been floating around for some time......found it on a Brit Pop compilation. Would never had got L7 either without the tampon clue!! I'm happy know and will now leave you alone!!! |
