Excellent. All done.

That last one was killing me hamster. I just couldn't put my finger on it, even though I knew it.

I've even got the album.

I was browsing through Amazon Music searching on "parlophone". Lots of the other albums were coming up but couldn't see the last one anywhere.

Then I spotted something in the recommendations box at the bottom that looked familiar and it turned out to be the missing album cover

I've tried entering the answers and only scored 32/50 so it looks like we have some work to do with exact spellings etc.

Number 3 is 'Conor' with one 'n'

And I think the blur answer for the Album is simply Blur 21 (Q49)

Hi,
Sorry to tag onto this but I've a few hours not working today so have been messing about with these albums. First off I think maybe No. 32 is SIGUR ROS - VALTARI - what does anyone else think?
Tried to insert image but couldn't as new user.
I was a bit daft and went off and found quite a few before I saw this thread so put them all together and submitted my entry - with No. 32 as above - and was told I got 35/50. I was amazed as I thought I had done my homework.

I've just gone back into the site to have rethink and despite their blurb my page doesn't load again for corrections. I've also gone from the leaderboard - I was in joint second place - and everyone else has gone too.

Will I have to put everything in again? Flipping nuisance if you ask me. I don't get the time.

On the Ziggy Stardust album - Number 16 - it was originally [FONT=&quot]The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and just got shortened to Ziggy Stardust.

Well done everyone who has got some answers. A bit of fun was had by all.

I got to 37, but can't seem to get back onto it now. It kept booting me off

It says at the start to be careful with spelling and I've spotted a few things which I think could be changed. . . may be wrong here, but:

"Connor Maynard" should be "Conor Maynard". (His website)

"Lilly Allen" should be "Lily Allen". (Her website)

"Beatles" should be "The Beatles". (Their website)

Blur 21 years of should be "Blur - Blur 21". (Wikipedia, Amazon, etc)

Thanks for posting.

I swear this d*mn quiz will be the death of me, or the path to insanity :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I decided to focus my attention on just one of the remaining 4 incorrect answers - no 30. So far I have tried all of the following combinations of case & punctuation but with absolutely no luck (according to Wikipedia here they're "currently called Dexys" so I've used variations of that too):

As you can see, none of them has worked !

If anyone feels like double-checking these combinations (in case I misplaced a space or something) let us know how you get on

Or if you can spot a combination I haven't yet tried, feel free to let me know or have a go yourselves.

I suspect that someone at Parlophone has simply mistyped the entry and it bears no resemblance to the real answer - in which case we're doomed ...:wall:

I now need to lie down for a long, long time:rotfl:

I did this quiz a couple of days ago submitted my answers and when I went back into it they had gone as had the leader board. Is it actually working properly now? ie saving your progress so you can go back?

And how do you know which ones you have got wrong?

Yes, it seems to be working now, and definitely saved my answers so that I could keep going round (and round) without entering all the answers every time (I'm not THAT keen !). The leaderboard is still blank, however.

I entered the 46 confirmed correct answers already listed earlier in this thread and then just kept entering the various combinations for number 30 that I've listed, all the while hoping that my total score would increase to 47/50.

Which of course it didn't :mad:
