Cool quiz Henk :)

02 | Sunshine Reggae - Laid Back (The 12" is a Double AA side with 'White Horse')
04 | A Different Corner - George Michael
22 | Lime II - Lime (Not sure if they also used that as a single sleeve though)
39 | Two Tribes - Frankie Goes to Hollywood (I have the cassette single of this one)

We can always count on you Henk, to bring a fresh approach to a quiz...splendid!  :)

#3. 'Happy Talk' - Captain Sensible
#5. '(Hey You) The Rocksteady Crew' - er...Rocksteady Crew
#6. is horrifically familiar, but it's not biting me yet, so...
#7. 'Rock Me Amadeus' - Falco
#8. 'Let's Dance' - David Bowie

#18 looks like Michael Bolton...but don't ask me what record that is!  :P

How am I supposed to live without you for Michael Bolton?

12. Come on Eileen - Dexy's midnight runners.

17. Swords of a thousand men - Ten Pole Tudor.

21 You think you're a man - Divine.?

You got 3.5 correct, Jason. #22 is indeed Lime, but for this quiz I need a song title. Like I said, they're all 7" sleeves.
And for the record: the 7" also was b/w "White Horse" in The Netherlands.

Thanks Paul. :) Your four are all correct, and I'm sure #6 will come to you too (unless someone beats you to it). 8)

#18 looks like Michael Bolton...but don't ask me what record that is!  :P


It is Michael Bolton. You no fan...? ::)

is the right answer. :)


12. Come on Eileen - Dexy's midnight runners.

17. Swords of a thousand men - Ten Pole Tudor.

21 You think you're a man - Divine.?


One and two halves there, Gis. #12 is spot-on, but I'm looking for other songs for #17 and #21.

It is Michael Bolton. You no fan...? ::)

Nope...can't say I ever cared for the guy's voice!  :P

Nope...can't say I ever cared for the guy's voice!  :P


Neither have I... ;) It's still a mystery to me how this particular 7" ended up in my record collection.

You got 3.5 correct, Jason. #22 is indeed Lime, but for this quiz I need a song title. Like I said, they're all 7" sleeves.


I will take a guess on the song ... 'Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight'?

I will take a guess on the song ... 'Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight'?


That would be the song, yes. :)

is the right answer. :)

One and two halves there, Gis. #12 is spot-on, but I'm looking for other songs for #17 and #21.
I have the 12'' !  ;D

17 must be 'into the valley' then?
13 is King - Love and pride, I actually had to go and look at my singles to see which song it was,as I knew I had it! ::)
27 Enigma - Sadness part one

I have the 12'' !  ;D


...but are you still playing it?  ::)

It's not "Into the Valley" either... :(

The other two are spot-on, Gis.  8) With those two you've exceeded the limit, though... :-\\ You've now answered 4.5, but I can only credit you for 4.

9. Michael Jackson= Billie Jean?
10. Marillon?
23. Creatures..........
25. Culture Club= Colour by numbers??
31. The Fat Boys......
32. India Arie?

Hi Henk.  Great quiz!  :)

I'm going to guess on #25:  J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame

31. The Fat Boys......

Hi Michelle. :)

You're right on #31. It is indeed the Fat Boys. 8)

I'm sorry to say that your (other) guesses are all incorrect. Though in a way, you're on the right track with #9. It's not Michael Jackson, but there's a distinct connection. And #32...the song in this quiz was released when India Arie was only three years old. ;)

Hi Henk.  Great quiz!   :)

I'm going to guess on #25:  J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame


Well Bob, you totally guessed right. 8)

Sorry I thought I was just in there but I forgot about the half for Divine.

#10 Frankie Goes To Hollywood - guess at Welcome to the Pleasure Dome

#26 Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell

#10 Frankie Goes To Hollywood - guess at Welcome to the Pleasure Dome

#26 Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell


Hello Karen. :)

It's never easy to bring bad news to anybody... :-\\...but still, I have to. Your guesses are both incorrect. :\'( I can see how you got to #26, but that would have been too much of a giveaway. Instead #26 is possibly the only one in this quiz that's not gonna be answered, no matter how much hints I'll give. ;D


Speaking of hints...looks like you're needing some (and I mean you all).

I thought my answer for #26 was a bit obvious but you might have been nice and done an easy one.

#33 looks familiar  is it a Depeche Mode one?

Hi Henk

#23 It's My Party - Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin
#36 is......ah, shoot, I know it, that image is so familiar, I just cannot remember what it is!

I thought my answer for #26 was a bit obvious but you might have been nice and done an easy one.


I thought I was being nice and put a lot of easy ones in... ;D Guess I was wrong.


#33 looks familiar  is it a Depeche Mode one?


It's not Depeche Mode, but a good try though. And FYI: there is a Depeche Mode single in this quiz. I couldn't resist. :D

Hi Henk

#23 It's My Party - Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin
#36 is......ah, shoot, I know it, that image is so familiar, I just cannot remember what it is!


Hi Graham  :)

#23 is correct and #36 is...half a boy. :-X

Hello All,
I think #33 is "Upstairs at Eric's" by Yaz

Hello All,
I think #33 is "Upstairs at Eric's" by Yaz


Hello ladybug  :)

You're quite right. It is Yaz (or Yazoo, as they were called over here), so you've earned half a point. I'm looking for a single, though, not an album. ;)

Modified to add:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand....Welcome back to the boards.  :) I noticed it's been more than two years since your previous post (yes, it's been that long!).

2 years :o; holy horrors!  It's great to be back.

Instead of driving to my sister's and digging through the albums in her basement, I'm going to guess that the single is "Don't Go" .

Is # 6 Fleetwood Mac/ hold me OR Cindy lauper time after time?
#9 Weird Al-Eat it?
32- Mirriam Mekeba? (ooh forgive spelling)
37--I've seen those happy feet posed somewhere before! ahahahagh.
38--Art of Noise?

You guessed right...and how appropriate that one is. ;)

Hi Michelle. Keep those guesses coming in. 8)


Is # 6 Fleetwood Mac/ hold me OR Cindy lauper time after time?


Neither one is correct.


#9 Weird Al-Eat it?


Bingo! 8)


32- Mirriam Mekeba? (ooh forgive spelling)


Not Miriam Makeba, no. The song I've used is a cover version, but I'm not sure if that's any help.


37--I've seen those happy feet posed somewhere before! ahahahagh.


Hardly happy feet... It's an anti war song from 1985.


38--Art of Noise?


No, sorry.

a few guesses based on your hints ...
#11 | Baggy Trousers - Madness?
#30 | She Loved Like Diamond - Spandau Ballet?

and one I definately know the answer to because I have the 45 lol...
#31 | The Twist (Yo! Twist) featuring stupid Def vocals by Chubby Checker

#11 | Baggy Trousers - Madness?


That would be correct, yes. :)


#30 | She Loved Like Diamond - Spandau Ballet?


It's Spandau Ballet, but not that song.


and one I definately know the answer to because I have the 45 lol...
#31 | The Twist (Yo! Twist) featuring stupid Def vocals by Chubby Checker


Is definitely correct. 8)

14. Dear God by XTC?

32. Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart?

It's Spandau Ballet, but not that song.


Then it must be Musclebound

#37 Nineteen - Paul Hardcastle

14. Dear God by XTC?

32. Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart?


Hi Patty! :)

XTC...interesting thought, but not right I'm afraid. :( It's a four piece band (including one female), and I've pictured the two non-frontmen. :P

Amii Stewart on the other hand is 100% correct. 8)

Then it must be Musclebound


They've had plenty of other songs before "True", you know.. ;)...but it is Muscle Bound.


#37 Nineteen - Paul Hardcastle


Correctamundo. :)

Was it the hint that gave it away? ???

Hi again, Henk...

Still no luck on that #6. - it will either come to me when I least expect it, or I'll be kicking myself hard if it doesn't...

#17. Title is 'Wunderbar'
#19. 'Only Crying' - Keith Marshall
#20. 'The Honeythief' - Hipsway
#21. Title is 'Native Love' (strangely not released in the UK 'til 1984)

Hi again, Henk...

#17. Title is 'Wunderbar'


God bless you sir so it is!

God bless you sir so it is!


A right old rollicking thing, that was!

Went down well at our local 'yoof' club!  :D

They've had plenty of other songs before "True", you know.. ;)


Not alot of people do know that, but I'm not one of them ;D
I've got all of Spandau's albums except Raw from 1989 which is so obscure, it almost doesn't exist anymore

Is #40 Frankie goes to Hollywood?

Hi again, Henk...

Still no luck on that #6. - it will either come to me when I least expect it, or I'll be kicking myself hard if it doesn't...


I'm sure it'll come...just a matter of time.


#17. Title is 'Wunderbar'
#19. 'Only Crying' - Keith Marshall
#20. 'The Honeythief' - Hipsway
#21. Title is 'Native Love' (strangely not released in the UK 'til 1984)



Two and two halves make three, Paul. Excellent. :) "Wunderbar" hit the #4 spot in Dutch Top 40, btw.

Is #40 Frankie goes to Hollywood?


I'm afraid it isn't, Philip. They're already in this quiz (#39), and I've used all artists only once.

Here's another hint: The band name consists of two identical words.

Thanks, at a guess, lets try Duran Duran?

It's two identical words, but not the right words. :( Can you think of any other band?

Mr Mister?

Mr Mister?


Again - no. It's a UK band, and one of their songs was covered by No Doubt. :-X

I just realized that I have the 45 to #40 and I even sifted through my 45 collection earlier, and somehow missed it completely lol

Since I have half a guess left, allow me to make it easier for someone else ...

The song of #40 is 'Such A Shame'

...which is correct, but probably won't be of much help to others (not a big hit in UK or US, I believe).

Again - no. It's a UK band, and one of their songs was covered by No Doubt. :-X
My final offering, is the band for #40 Talk Talk?

It is indeed! 8)

Splendid!

Yes!

Last call!


I've added sound clippings and removed the limit.

01 | So Long - Fischer Z
14 | The Promise You Made - Cock Robin
24 | Conga - Miami Sound Machine (I am shocked at myself for not cluing into this earlier)
26 | Dave Edmunds?
28 | Love Comes Quickly - Pet Shop Boys
29 | I've Been Thinking About You - Londonbeat (I knew those guys looked familiar)
34 | Angel Eyes - Wet Wet Wet

#15 Bee Gees - You Win Again

modified to add what I hope is the title

You got 5.5 more to add to your score, Jason. :) #26 isn't Dave Edmunds (although he was in Rockpile) and I can tell you that it's not Nick Lowe either. (Now why does that name sound familiar...?)
And I'm looking for another song for #28.

#15 Bee Gees - You Win Again

You've hit the jackpot, Karen. 8)

I only know Edmunds and Lowe with Rockpile

As for #28, is it 'Heart'?

Hooray!

#6. (It was only a question of time before I got it!) 'A Question Of Time' - Depeche Mode
#36. 'I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass' - Nick Lowe (surprisingly, a totally different sleeve from our one, which is what threw me!)
#38. 'It's Going To Happen' - Undertones

I only know Edmunds and Lowe with Rockpile


Well of course you do. The one I used for #26 was a no-hit wonder. ;D :D


As for #28, is it 'Heart'?


Indeed. 8)

Hooray!

Well done, Paul. :) I knew you'd get the hints eventually. ;)

...but I'm quite sure you know #10 and #35 as well. Does the name Dave Bartram ring any bells? ::)

Does the name Dave Bartram ring any bells? ::)


It does, as he's the lead singer of Showaddywaddy...

...and that's undeniably them at #35., but it's not a song of theirs I immediately recognise!  :-\\

So I'm gonna hazard a guess at one of their 'lesser' hits...'Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts' (?)

Do tell me, I pray. ::)

Not a big hit, but a hit nonetheless - and you've hit the nail on the head. :)

Hey, Henk!

10 is Andrew Ridgeley's "Shake"

Hey, Henk!

10 is Andrew Ridgeley's "Shake"


Hullo Andrew! :)

You got it. 8) I was surprised that one hadn't been answered already. But of course, once you know the answer, the hint (finally) makes sense.




And I think that pretty much concludes this quiz. I'm expecting no answers for #16 and #26, so I'm giving them away:

16: Not grazing in the grass
        "Grazing In The Grass" is a track by Hugh Masakela, so it was him I was looking for. The song is "Don't Go Lose It Baby".

26: Rockpile guitarist who has Speakers In The Ceiling, Speakers In The Door...
        An obscure song, I admit, and an obscure artist too. It's Billy Bremner - Loud Music In Cars.
