Banjo - please sit down

In fact, is anyone near Banjo that could hold him down before I put these scores up?

Electric Nitwit

No wrong answers
Biggest sheep of the night here with Bruce Springsteen, making up for no-one getting him in round 4.
And, like round 3, a couple of massive names ace - U2 and The Rolling Stones!

Scores after question 12:

Coldplay scores fairly highly, nobody said it was easy Homer J!
K.Flyer and kitten jump into a joint lead.
Those three have a little cushion on osh, and we have 4 joint in 5th place a further point back

Necro and WhineandCheese were on the Boss's big sheep, it's starting to look like a two horse race for the wooden spoon

Oh I see what you did there!! >__>

I don't even like Coldplay. And even less so now.

Electric Nitwit

Scores after question 13:

Necro drops to the bottom of the table. Everyone else scored 2, 3 or 4 so very little change. A point splits the top three and there's a big pack just a few points back

Penultimate round coming up and I'm taking you back to my formative years...



One image here (I think) tripped a few people up in the same way, although the same image was recognised by a lot of you.

Our top three all gave different answers...!

Banjo

I was terrified it was a solo Adam ant album cause he had the stripes and highwayman hat. I have extensive notes on that one

I'd have allowed it anyway, I think

Question 14: Brit poppers, show stoppers (Britpop albums, my era!)

Answers:

Top row: Pulp (Different Class), Lightning Seeds (Jollification), Elastica (Elastica), James (Laid)
Bottom row: Sleeper (Smart), Suede (Dog Man Star), Longpigs (The Sun Is Often Out), Ocean Colour Scene (Moseley Shoals)

I'm pretty sure that I got this wrong

I was half tempted to just say the Spice Girls, not a big fan of Brit pop myself

Electric Nitwit

Pulp sheep, unsurprisingly, but I think a lot were drawn to Elastica, it's just that three people thought they were Bananarama! I didn't cut the one guy out deliberately to trick you, sorry!
Good ace for Tammy, the only one to go for James.
No love for Longpigs, shame on you all!

Didn’t know any of those. I think I took a lucky guess.

Banjo

I'm going to regret not going OCS aren't i
Edit - James???
Crap!
Thought that was too easy. Damn my heavily skewed by my wife's cd collection sensibilities!

Which one did everyone think was bananananaramana?

Good guess!

OK, it all comes down to this. Final round coming up, then I stick on the anthem and you can all stagger out into the night. Yep, it's the patriotic Irish round!

I couldn't even spell it right:D

Pulp and Elastica were the only two I knew from the Britpop one. Couldn't have even made a guess at any of the others (well I could have, but not a correct one)

Question 15: The last of the Irish Rover (last question - Irish acts)

Answers:

Top row: Snow Patrol (Final Straw), My Bloody Valentine (Loveless), Picture This (Picture This), Thin Lizzy (Black Rose)
Bottom row: All Tvvins (Just To Exist), The Cranberries (Bury The Hatchet), Hozier (Hozier), The Script (Freedom Child)

Banjo

Found this surprisingly tough. But that should pay off with an obvious peehs, right?



Right...?

Electric Nitwit

OK, let's start at the bottom...

miamee comes in on 90 and hits the joint largest sheep of the night, moving to 99!
WhineAndCheese meanwhile, manages a lovely low 2, moving from 94.5 to 96.5
Can Necro score three or less to avoid the wooden spoon...

...or will he have a breakdown?


Meanwhile at the top...

Strawberry Milkshake was 4th on 59 but aces the final round! 60pts
Homer J Fung was 3rd on 57, K.Flyer was second on 54 and they join hands to hit a 6
Homer falls away, K.Flyer joins Strawbs on 60

Kitten came in on 53, just needs 6 or less to lift the trophy...
