I know it's a debut game for K.Flyer and WhineandCheese, so a special welcome to you two! I think I recognise all the other names

I think we have some great answering going on, with lots of low scores and a good spread.
I'll have a play during the day tomorrow and chuck up some stats before the reveal hopefully.
Otherwise, hopefully see a lot of you tomorrow evening

Necro

That mid-table region is definitely not where I'm ending up this game :pac:

sullivlo

I’m aiming for the wooden spoon tbh.

That last post in the sign up thread was very, very clever.

























I clicked the image link first

I'm out tomorrow evening. Hopefully catch the middle/end of the reveal. Don't rush it!!

Electric Nitwit

Some stats, as promised. It may only be me that cares but I'm a mathematician, I can't help myself!

120 The number of album covers in the quiz
103 The number correctly identified
28 The number of incorrect answers (some given by more than one person)
15 The number of aces scored (ie answers given by one person alone)
9 The largest sheep, pretty low! (ie the most popular answer was only given by 9 people)
6 The fewest number of albums, out of 8, correctly guessed in a single category
4 The lowest sheep (in a round where every answer scored at least two, a very close round)
4 The number of rounds in which there were no wrong answers given
3 The number of rounds in which all 8 were correctly identified
2 The number of players suffering emotional breakdowns while answering

See you back here this evening

Electric Nitwit

Also, I feel this reply may come up a few times

I'd be surprised if there's anyone who can't get at least one in at least 10 of the catagories. You guys need to hero up and take the hit so the obvious answers don't get Peehs'ed by all the hipsters avoiding them!

I missed Banjo's comment.

I am about to surprise him because I know that there's one category where I didn't know any so gave a random answer.

I think I had a right answer in one category and then changed it to a non existent one :rolleyes:

I'm up since 1am, am going to try to stay awake for this!!
It's going to be tough going.......

WhineandCheese

The suspense is killing me!

My laptop started installing updates when I turned it on, they took 4hrs! That suspense was killing me but I'm all set now I think

Electric Nitwit

Into the final......ment

Pretzill

Looking forward to this and seeing which are the covers that I recognised but couldn't think of.

twirlagig

Yay! I love the reveals on these!

Necro

Mollyb60

OMG I'm here for this one! At least for another 30 minutes anyway. (No pressure EN)

I've been looking forward to this all day :D

Electric Nitwit

I found some strange albums searching for "minutes"!

Pretzill

Waiting...

Electric Nitwit

Quick check over the answers...

Electric Nitwit

It's not seventeen seconds really, but I feel bad having omitted The Cure...



So, for each round I'll throw up the clue pictures again, the full album covers together with the answers, then I'll throw out the scores

I'm nervous and excited!

I knew I got this wrong, and I knew Blur and the Pet Shop Boys but the Strokes Album reminded me of Grace Jones for some reason.

I thought Florence was the obvious answer and didn't go for it

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.

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
