[b]Game Update[/b]

With just a few submissions in, we've got a wopping [b]43[/b] average...pretty impressive actually. But dudes, we got a west coast guy in the lead! Come on!!!

#'s 1,2,18,20,21, and 25 are unanswered. What does this mean compared to the KROQ one that had much lower scores but also much fewer no-guesses? I think there's some gimme's and some reeeeally tough ones.

Game ends [b]Sunday October 16th at Midnight EDT[/b]

Stick a fork in me, I'm done [xx(]

I love these NTTs because, in addition to introducing me to new songs, they help reintroduce me to long lost favorites. In this version, #3 is a long lost treasure for me! In previous NTTs, I've rediscovered Devo - Gates of Steel, Men Without Hats - I've Got the Message, and countless others.

Thanks Blir et al.! Keep up the great work. Now when is the next "early years" NTT?

So true. 2, 4, 7 and 24 are personal favorites of mine.

And on the KROQ one, that D-Day song we all blew... I've had their album for, maybe, 15 years, and I really dig two tracks on it ("Dance It Off" and "Desperation"). And everybody knows "Too Young to Date." But the one on the quiz, I just never heard before. So it's great to learn something new.

Wow, uh, SS, any chance you have a digital rip of that album. I would do quite a lot in return to get ahold of something like that!!!

And Dave, not only did you NOT bring down the average, you nailed the average AND knocked off #2 from the not-guessed list. Nice.
