I guessed it was that one that you and quickbeam were going for

Yes for me. I think I got all the other rounds right (even if not obscure) but didn’t know any of these so was a bit of s guess.

Electric Nitwit

No love for Mumford and Sons or The Cranberries!
A lot of love for The Manics though, while Zaph scores our first ace with Muse...
At the other end, six casualties

Did Necro just go Oasis for them all!

Zaph

First time I've ever been top of the table. Can we stop now?

Electric Nitwit

Onto round 3, here come the girls...

Tauriel

Grrrr, I wasn't certain on The Cranberries and thought that Moby was a certain:rolleyes:

Electric Nitwit

Question 3: Here come the girls (Female artists on the cover)

Answers:

Top row: Patti Smith (Horses), Lady Gaga (Born This Way), Beyonce (I Am.... Sasha Fierce), Billie Eilish (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?)
Bottom row: Lisa Hannigan (At Swim), Madonna (Rebel Heart), Bjork (Debut), Lizzo (Cuz I Love You)

Electric Nitwit

No wrong answers this round
Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish feeling rejected by the hipsters that you are, piling on Patti Smith and Bjork!
Kolido and Necro manage aces with their knowledge of two little known artists, Madonna and Beyonce :pac:

I changed last minute from Patti Smith, glad I did!

Can’t believe the aces!

Damn. I thought bjork would be too obvious for everyone else.

Sorry

Zaph

I thought everyone was younger than they clearly are and thought I was onto a good thing with Patti Smith.

Electric Nitwit

Time for the boys to make their entrance (and Choc Chip to start the psychoanalysis)...

Electric Nitwit

Question 4: The boys are back in town (Male artists on the cover)

Answers:

Top row: Van Morrison (Astral Weeks), Ed Sheeran (+), Barry White (Soul Seduction), Eminem (The Eminem Show)
Bottom row: Paul Weller (True Meanings), Jay-Z (The Blueprint), Dermot Kennedy (Dermot Kennedy), Bruce Springsteen (The River)

Electric Nitwit

A couple of surprises here I think as no-one got Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran gives Banjo an ace.
Paul Weller is the hipster's choice

But are you really? :pac:

Lol choccy

Pretzill

Thought I'd ace with Paul Weller I was proud I spotted that one.

Banjo

Damn it, I really thought I had gone through enough iterations of "...the album cover in front of you!" On those first few rounds - I am a bad peehs....

Edit : go on you ginger bastard BEAUTY!

Electric Nitwit

Scores after question 4:

Homer J leaps into second with his Jay-Z answer and Banjo's up to 5th with an ace. Otherwise not much has changed.
Choc Chip consolidates the wooden spoon claim with the deep and meaningful questions

I was surprised by that too. I was surprised a lot though!

Tauriel

I was expecting Bruce Springsteen to Sheep:rolleyes:

I should of went with the first artists that popped into my head rather than guessing what everyone else would go for

Electric Nitwit

Fun fact: the next round is the first one I came up.
You're right, that's not a fun fact. Shut up Nitwit, just introduce the animals...

Electric Nitwit

Question 5: It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me (Animals on the cover)

Answers:

Top row: Prodigy (The Fat Of The Land), Pink Floyd (Atom Heart Mother), R.E.M. (Monster), The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds)
Bottom row: Kanye West (The College Dropout), Everything Everything (Man Alive), Blur (Parklife), Beck (Odelay)

Electric Nitwit

Pretty sizable sheep for REM here, and no aces.
No-one got Everything Everything, I'll take the blame for a bad pick there.
Choc Chip gets back on track, this time it's Necro having a little meltdown!
