So you don't like the 90's, let's see if you prefer the 60's I only managed 28/114, but it's not really my era, so one for the elder members of the forum methinks https://www.sporcle.com/games/bumfish/no1s1960s

I got a few right, eg: Engelbert Humperdink for starters, that it wouldn't allow.
Got 52, mainly bands.

Moody Blues, Helen Shapiro, Hermans Hermits, The Hollies plus all the usual suspects ......

27. Having seen the answers I'm not embarrassed either. What a heap of tripe most of that lot is. No I also can't spell Englebert what'shisface or Lonnie donnigan - but the latter did some decent stuff and yet he only got to number 1 with that piece of ****?
No wonder they needed halucenagenics.
Hint: they turned out to be in alphabetical order.....

I got 82 in the allotted time, typing on my mobile, which isn't easy. It's my era: I've checked the whole list and I know them all.

82 is impressive, that's a good target to set for everybody else VB, I'll probably post the 70's/80's tomorrow, if anybody wants to have a crack at those decades, times getting on now and bed awaits.Vino blanco wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 11:03 pmI got 82 in the allotted time, typing on my mobile, which isn't easy.

I simply did it from the first question onwards. The answers are in alphabetical order, I got to "m" and ran out of time.

Poor interface with spelling mistakes and reset when I was halfway through

48. I could picture all the bands/singers but couldn't drag them out of the memory banks.

Yes Humperdinck was one I couldn't spell. Dusty Springfield was frustrating me. I could picture her singing I only want to be with you and even with the Pet Shop Boys but that name was bugging me. I went through every singer but her. Even got Twiggy in my head at one point. Yet I could pull out Johnny Tillotson and Helen Shapiro. The mind's a funny thing.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 5:26 pmI got 79 (and it would have been 80 had I been able to spell Humerdinck) - but there were some songs I knew and couldn't get the artists name.

Born in 81 and managed 27 which I thought was acceptable
