It seems I greatly overestimated the familiarity of a few tracks on this one, resulting in a much harder game than I expected. While most folks knew tracks 1-9 as I planned, tracks 10-14 proved much more challenging than I had anticipated (I was expecting more like 50-70% recognition on these). In spite of the difficulties, all tracks were identified by at minimum of 2 players. Good job everybody! [:)]


1st Place - MikeP (66 points) (rusty perhaps, but still <B>the king[/b]!)<img src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/fritzb1/imnotworthy.gif" border="0">
2nd Place - SomebodySomewhere (64 points)
3rd Place - Schwenko (62 points)
4th Place - DevoManiac101 (60 points)
5th Place - BigBri (54 points)

Honorable mention to rsgonzalez, brock, Jefe, & cubby (all tied with 52 points)


Number of Players = 15
Average Score = 50 points
Low Score withheld to protect the innocent [:I]


As I've done in the past, I've linked mp3s for a number of the less well known or hard-to-find songs. Enjoy! [:)]

Ah, fritz... where head of the class is still a "D." I'm glad I was able to continue my perfect streak of whiffing on Buzzcocks songs I've heard a half dozen times before.

Like Oingo Boingo said, "Better luck better luck better luck next time."

Yeah, I'm still shaking my head at missing the XTC and Nick Lowe songs.

Of course, this has inspired me to try my own Name That Tune. Hopefully fritzb won't mind me stepping on his toes just a bit If I get off my lazy butt, I'll post it soon ...
