Heartland

A wee Quiz.

http://www.scenta.co.uk/music/crop_of_the_pops.cfm

100%, 1005 pop points

Then again, with the amount of product that Herr Von Eldritch has given us, it wasn't that difficult

Edit:
100%, 1965 pop points for my other favourite band (Eels), despite their attempts to seemingly dupe me by putting in other people's albums with the word "Eels" in the title

I got 826 points and 100% for Arcturus - and was also impressed that they were on there!

Do I have to do the Sisters as well?

83,33

But the bastard started with something 'monochrome a tribute to' or something

Strange, I got Arcturus and The Sisters suggested as other ones that I might like to try after completing the Eels one.

Edit: Obviousman, that's no excuse, I got that one first off.

Largely due to the fact that it was the only one that I didn't recognise, so it had to be Monochrome

After the sisters I got Eels, the others I don't remember

Likewise.
And I got the same score.

OMG I scored 66,666.

Damn, I knew that Eldritch has a pact with the devil and now I have to burn in hell for not knowing better.

Just did Radiohead and got 30%.

I put this down to the fact that the thing was chock full of singles and unofficial stuff like interview disks. Didn't see "The Bends" or "Kid A" even presented as options. Perhaps this is more of an exercise in how well the creator of the quiz knows the band's album covers

Ah, I thought it would be some automated thingy, perhaps connected to amazon's database or something...
But if that's the case, well

FUN

Sisters: did ok, just missed one (how could that happen?!)

m*****n: blew everyone out of the sky... (how did that...)

Pj Harvey: 90% (have to study some more... )

only 90% on Julian...but 1703 ( I think the idea folks is to click the answer as soon as poss not half an hour later when the full cover is shown )

HOWEVER, it did tell me I was the best in the world coz no-one had got a higher score

100% and 1780 points for AC/DC

So I have a bash with The Chameleons...

100% and 2013 pop points or should that be :geek:

Oh and the rest of the world only got 77%

You scored 100% correct and 1398 pop points!
Fantastic! The rest of the world only scored 84%.

And for Siouxsie...
You scored 100% correct and 2095 pop points!

Not very challenging, TBH.

The Sisters one was categorised as "very easy"...

Well of course, when you never release any bloody records, it's only going to be one of a few, isn't it?

Then again, quality control...

there's NO apostrophe in 'fave'

PRE-cisely! I can live with it.

They should include Russian Flexi covers, or Heartland-designed compilation sleeves...

Get help!

i'm helping myself by helping you

Don't be daft, that would only serve to give Dark bragging rights

emilystrange wrote:there's NO apostrophe in 'fave'

maybe its to indicate the missing letters "ourit"?

I was thinking the same thing but was too scared to point it out

technically.. but i think 'fave' is well bedded in to the vernacular as a word in its own right.

that better?
