[rewindmylife]

I actually suffered a mile panic attack trying to take this test...man, do I suck!! [:I]

You are an evil man, Blir!!!!

Don't feel bad rewindmylife, I didn't do so well either. I came close to the average but even after seeing the answers, I wouldn't have gotten more then a handful of extra points with my "I should have known that" songs.

Long time no see Blir and one thing constant, I still suck at these but they are fun!

BTW I would it be possible to add numbers before the clips. I lost my place a couple of times. Adding to my suckatude.[:)]

Woo hoo - pretty sure I got the elusive #25 and should be above the average Blir - you did a good job of keeping some of the more obvious artists still not a slam dunk to know the track. I had to do plenty of research to come up with my answers

Any bonus points for naming who's in drag in #6, lol.

Thanks,
Ralph

Thanks for the Canadian content, Blir, otherwise I'd have zero!

I didn't realize Charlie Daniels was new wave, what's up with the cowboy clip?

I know that wasn't supposed to be funny but I can't help laughing! Altered Images? Really?

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

[b]UPDATE POST[/b]

Going into the weekend, we have had 17 players who in combination have answered every song. The average sits at [b]36.3 points[/b] and [b]raserx[/b] sits at the top of the heap by just hair and with plenty of headroom above him. I know there's some big score out there! Thanks for playing - would welcome more of you.

After a small delay, I just submitted my answer. I am curious to know what #22 is.

I'll be in. Too busy at work to look at the videos for more than a quick glance. Tough game.

Thanks for doing this Blir. This is challenging, but always fun.

My hat goes off to Blir for another challenging VNTT.
I hope he can do another one in the near future, or
maybe even sooner.

...and I haven't felt so alive, in years.

The results are in! Great participation...possibly the most ever. We had nearly 30 players. Thanks especially to all the old familiar players that came out of the woodwork like Jim2, cubby, BigBri, Jefe, brock, raserx, Warzau, etc - great to see ya. I think the YouTube format maybe makes this more inviting and easy. How weird that there wasn't even such a thing as YouTube when we started these games?!

Kudos to everyone who took part. I forgot how fun this was. The average score ended up being [b]43.1 points[/b] or a 57% guess rate. High score was 72 (one missed song!) and the low was 11 - quite the spread! All songs were answered, even what I thought was going to be that wicked tough Strange Advance track. Well done. The champions:

[b]1st: abacab66[/b] with 72 points, only missing #18, incredible if not unbelievably spectacular. All hail the champ!
[b]2nd: wherewerein82[/b] with 69 points, fantastic performance by the new and formidable contender.
[b]3rd-T: schwenko[/b] with 60 points, showing the cagey vet still has it.
[b]3rd-T: eighties[/b] with 60 points, another rock-solid showing, besting a certain familiar expert that you all may know...
[b]HM: MikeP[/b] with 59 points, just off the podium, getting out-touched by a hair...but who's more consistently solid, huh?
