Hi Henk :)

#1  Walk and Don't Look Back - Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger

#2  The Man with the Child in his Eyes - Kate Bush

#3  Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival

#4  The Load-Out/Stay - Jackson Browne

Last quiz, Henk? Say it isn't so!  :(

#5. God Only Knows' - Beach Boys
#10. 'Don't Forget To Remember' - Bee Gees
#13. 'Golden Brown' - Stranglers
#16. 'Mama' - Genesis

That's the easy bit...no idea on these positions (I suppose with a bit of detective work one could find out!), but I'll hazard with...

Beach Boys - #150
Bee Gees - #500
Stranglers - #1450
Genesis - #1800

Hey Henk!!!

Awesome!

#8 Hey Jude - The Beatles

#9 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

#15 Like The Way I Do - Melissa Etheridge

#17 You're Beautiful - James Blunt

Hi Henk :)

#1  Walk and Don't Look Back - Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger

#2  The Man with the Child in his Eyes - Kate Bush

#3  Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival

#4  Stay - Jackson Browne


Hiya Amanda  :) You picked the perfect time to be around. ;)

All four answers are correct (although #4 is actually a double feature: The Load Out / Stay). 8)

Any guesses on their whereabouts (for bonus points)...?

Last quiz, Henk? Say it isn't so!  :(


Well, I sincerely hope I can find a new host site, but it's not going to be easy.


#5. God Only Knows' - Beach Boys
#10. 'Don't Forget To Remember' - Bee Gees
#13. 'Golden Brown' - Stranglers
#16. 'Mama' - Genesis


Four for four, Paul! :)


That's the easy bit...no idea on these positions (I suppose with a bit of detective work one could find out!), but I'll hazard with...

Beach Boys - #150
Bee Gees - #500


Actually, you're not that far off, but too far off for bonus points.


Stranglers - #1450
Genesis - #1800


Sorry, but those are really way off.

Here's a little hint: I've tried to avoid any correlation between the position in this quiz and the position in the Top 2000.


Hmmm... that doesn't really simplify things, does it? ;D

Hey Henk!!!

Awesome!

#8 Hey Jude - The Beatles

#9 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

#15 Like The Way I Do - Melissa Etheridge

#17 You're Beautiful - James Blunt


Thank you Tam, and congrats on getting four right. :)

Hmmm... that doesn't really simplify things, does it? ;D


Just saying 'higher' or 'lower' would be more useful!  ;)

Aw Henk, don't give up. You're still one of the best quizmasters on the board!

11. U2, "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"
19. Eagles, "Lyin'Eyes"
28. Nilsson, "Without You" (it's rumores that hearing Mariah Carey's cover killed him!)
35. Peter Gabriel, "Sledgehammer"

Your Pal,
Doc
8)

Just saying 'higher' or 'lower' would be more useful!  ;)


If you insist...


























Higher or lower. :P



















j/k... ;)

Beach Boys: higher
Bee Gees: lower
Stranglers: higher
Genesis: higher.

Darn!  I can't get the clips to load!  :(

Bummer! :( Just when there's loads of songs in this quiz you'd enjoy...
Gave you karma anyway. ;)


I hope this a temporary problem..?  ???

I know...and I'd love to participate as you always have wonderful quizzes, Henk!

I don't know if re-starting my computer might help... ???

Henk's final audio quiz  :o ?? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Ah well, I will enjoy it while I can and shamelessly pick some of my favourites from what is once again a wonderful eclectic mix:

#30 Spanish Stroll - Mink DeVille
#34 Mother And Child Reunion - Paul Simon
#39 London Calling - The Clash
#49 Why? - Bronski Beat

#49 was the first song that I danced to with my wife, when I met her in a Liverpool nightclub way back in 1984 (was it really that long ago?).
So now we are stuck with it, when people ask "What is 'your tune'?", we have to shrug and say it's "Why?" by Bronski Beat....and they look completely nonplussed by that.

2nd attempt...

Beach Boys - #50
Bee Gees - #700
Stranglers - #800
Genesis - #900

(We could be here all year!  ::) ;))

Not all year, I hope. Especially since you now have 10 bonus points for the Beach Boys song (at #59).

As for the others: aim higher.

Bee Gees - #600 (see what I did there?  ;))
Stranglers - #400

Hi Henk, great stuff as usual.

#7...Almost Cut My Hair....Crosby Stills Nash & Young?

#12...Norwegian Wood.....The Beatles?

#31...Heart Of Glass.....Blondie?

#45....Heart Of Stone....The Rolling Stones?

Man, I am late to the party.  I do recognize 4 ...

36 | Mandy - Barry Manilow
37 | Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Boystown Gang
40 | New York Minute - Don Henley
50 | Pied Piper - Crispian St. Peters

Cool quiz Henk.  I am also in the process of looking for a free hosting site for the html files for the quiz.  Ones that aren't riddles with pop up ads, but no luck yet.

Ooh, very clever! :D ;D ;)

And as a result, you can cross out two: Bee Gees are at #609, Stranglers at #405.

The remaining one: you're still too low.

Another four correct answers.  :)

Hiya Amanda  :) You picked the perfect time to be around. ;)



I know ! I was logged on having breakfast before getting ready to go to work and I woke up quick smart ! ;D


Any guesses on their whereabouts (for bonus points)...?


Ooops...forgot this morning!

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger - #450

Kate Bush - #1,200

Creedence Clearwater Revival  - #980

Jackson Browne - #620


How did I go ?  :D

14. Still loving you by The Scorpions?  (Bonus - #250)

23. Blackbird by The Beatles?  (Bonus - #78)

32.  This guy's in love with you by Burt Bacharach?  (Bonus - #450)

38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1000)

It kinda blows about geocities, I too, am going to lose a good resource that I've used for over 10 years.  Mostly for family geneology website and local history but still, it's where I cut my teeth programming webpages.  :\'(

Great quiz BTW Henk.

#26 Black Betty - Ram Jam
#29 White Cliffs of Dover - Vera Lynn
#47 Unforgettable - Nat King Cole?

You're off by miles, in all cases.  :( 

Peter Tosh: lower.
Other three: higher.

14. Still loving you by The Scorpions?  (Bonus - #250)


Correct on the song and artist. Bonus: Close, but no cigar. Aim lower.


23. Blackbird by The Beatles?  (Bonus - #78)


It is indeed. Bonus: again, pretty close. Aim lower.


32.  This guy's in love with you by Burt Bacharach?  (Bonus - #450)


Well... yes and no. It is Burt Bacharach singing, but I'm looking for another artist (for obscure reasons, I couldn't find the right version of the song - so I picked the instrumental part of this one instead. For a good reason..  ::)).

Bonus: sadly, it's way lower.


38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1000)


Again, correct on the song and artist. Bonus: close again, but also too high again.

Yeah, I really don't understand why they want to ruin a good thing. The only reason I can think of is that it's free, and they want us to pay for it.


Great quiz BTW Henk.


Thanks Patty. :)

#26 Black Betty - Ram Jam
#29 White Cliffs of Dover - Vera Lynn
#47 Unforgettable - Nat King Cole?


You got two and a half correct, Karen. The Dame Vera Lynn song isn't "White Cliffs Of Dover". Other than that: great job! :)

None of these are correct. They're all ranked higher (I hope that pleases you nontheless).



You're Beautiful - 380


This one, however, is within the guessing margins. :) It is ranked #428, so you've earned 5 bonus points.

Wow! The good listeners of Radio 2 though highly of this?  :o

Not that it's a bad song, but they've done better IMHO...

That said, one more try...#200

14. Still loving you by The Scorpions?  (Bonus - #350)


Ten bonus points for you!  :) It's actually at #373.


23. Blackbird by The Beatles?  (Bonus - #98)


Not that high, I'm afraid.


32.  This guy's in love with you by Herb Alpert?  (Bonus - #1450)


Herb Alpert is correct. :) Bonus: you're still too high.

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger - #250

Kate Bush - #1,500

Creedence Clearwater Revival  - #1,250

I think you misunderstood. When I said "lower", I meant it's ranked  lower - which means the number should be higher (and vice versa).

So you're still way off. And with that I mean: REALLY way off. :(

Sweet Home Alabama - 330


Lynyrd Skynyrd are at #323, which means you've earned 10 bonus points. 8)


Like the way I do - 195


Now you're too high.

Believe it or not, but it's actually at #150. So by the skin of your teeth you clench 5 bonus points.

Lynyrd Skynyrd are at #323, which means you've earned 10 bonus points. 8)

Now you're too high.


Excellent!!!

Now, let me try a little mathematics for this one:

Sorry I cannot participate, my sound card (or computer) cannot produce any sound. Have had 2 people look at it and don't know the problem.

Sorry to hear that. :( I suppose replacing your sound card isn't an option? :-\\ (Replacing your computer seems a bit... out of proportion)

I know my brother has the same problem, but that may be due to him using illegal/unlicenced software.

23. Blackbird by The Beatles?  (Bonus - #178)

32.  This guy's in love with you   (Bonus - #1850)

38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1350)



BTW Hope you feel better Henk, and your neighbors get MUCH quieter.

23. Blackbird by The Beatles?  (Bonus - #178)


"Blackbird" is at #164, so 10 bonus points Patty! :)


32.  This guy's in love with you   (Bonus - #1850)


Even lower than that, I'm afraid.


38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1350)


No, it's higher than that.


BTW Hope you feel better Henk, and your neighbors get MUCH quieter.


Thanks Patty. I'm hoping the same.

Here's an early warning: for volumes 2 to 5, I'm gonna change the bonus points system. No more unlimited guesses (sorry), but a limit of three per song.

Holy mackerel!  There are 4 more volumes after this one?  Will we be able to get through them all before Oct. when Geocities self destructs?  That's ALOT of work that you've done, Mr. Henk!  I'm impressed.  Truly. 

I can see your point about limiting guesses, it WOULD be a pain in the...  checking the ranking EVERY time.  Would other players be able to guess other rankings of songs they did not know the names of?  (If that makes any sense.)


Oh, and my last guess for bonus points...

32.  This guy's in love with you  (Bonus - #1999)

38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1250)

I'm still working on the remaining volumes, but I'm confident they will be up and running before the end of this month (or early October latest). I wanted to go with a bang.




















I mean: a BANG!

Anyone's free to guess on any song - not just the one's you've answered yourself. ;)


Oh, and my last guess for bonus points...

32.  This guy's in love with you   (Bonus - #1999)

38. Lonely boy - Andrew Gold?  (Bonus - #1250)


Too low on both (but closing in on Herb Alpert). Bummer.

Last guesses...? ??? Don't give up now!

I think you misunderstood. When I said "lower", I meant it's ranked  lower - which means the number should be higher (and vice versa).

So you're still way off. And with that I mean: REALLY way off. :(


I thought it seemed odd ! ???


I'll try these then:

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger - #1,450

Kate Bush - #350

Creedence Clearwater Revival  - #500

Jackson Browne - #150

I thought it seemed odd ! ???


I'll try these then:

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger - #1,450


That one is ranked lower. In fact, it's the fourth lowest ranked in this quiz.


Kate Bush - #350

Creedence Clearwater Revival  - #500

Jackson Browne - #150


These three are each ranked higher. The Jackson Browne song is the third highest ranked in this quiz (and the other two have already been answered...). Surprising, what?

Never mind. I make a habit of confusing people. :D

Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger: that one should be lower on the list (somewhere between 1450 and 2000)

The other three all should be higher: Kate Bush is somewhere between 1 and 350, CCR is somewhere between 1 and 500, and Jackson Browne is somewhere between 59 and 150. ;)


Does that help?

#24 She's The One - Robbie Williams (though it doesn't sound quite like him singing)

#24 She's The One - Robbie Williams (though it doesn't sound quite like him singing)


You're right, and you're right - but it really is Robbie singing.

Here's another guess:

Peter Tosh #1780

Kate Bush #110

CCR #300

Jackson Browne #60

This guessing turns out harder than it looks...


Here's another guess:

Peter Tosh #1780


Further down.


Kate Bush #110


That's too high.


CCR #300


That's too low.


Jackson Browne #60


Yay! :D You got 5 bonus points! Jackson Browne is actually at #88.

Need to speed things up a bit. Therefore the limit is now set at 7.

#27 Streets of London - Ralph McTell
#43 I Hear You Now - Jon & Vangelis

#27 Streets of London - Ralph McTell

Only 1 left I think I know...

#46 The Lowdown - Boz Skaggs?


You think right! :)

I'm sure though you'll recognize some of the others as well (once they've been answered).

Thank you maddog for putting me out of my misery.  #43 has been going round my head for days.  It's one of those songs I 'know' without having a clue what its called or who its by!

You think right! :)

I'm sure though you'll recognize some of the others as well (once they've been answered).


There are 3 still that I recognize but can't figure them out for the life of me! The one instrumental that I know, I keep playing it in my head but can't get a single word to go with it! ;D

You're talking about #6, I assume? Yes, that's an instrumental. Feel free to make up words to the tune - I don't think anyone has ever given it a try. ;)

#6 Supertramp ?

#25 Peter Gabriel ?

#42 Paul Simon ?

Yay! :D You got 5 bonus points! Jackson Browne is actually at #88.


Yay !


Okay:

Peter Tosh #1900

Kate Bush #80

CCR #450


I think I went the right way  :-[

#25 Crazy - Seal!!!!!

I only got this because of Amanda saying Peter Gabriel.. I went to see if it was sledgehammer - but finally recognized it as Crazy!!!!

Thanks Amanda!!!

I should have added this before... I am going to say it placed around 350 ;)

#6 Supertramp ?

#25 Peter Gabriel ?

#42 Paul Simon ?


I'm afraid neither of those are correct, but I can see where you're coming from.


Yay !


Okay:

Peter Tosh #1900

Kate Bush #80

CCR #450


I think I went the right way  :-[


It's confusing, isn't it?

Well, at long last you got 5 Bonus Points for Peter Tosh. :) The song is at #1933.

The other two: keep guessing. Kate Bush is lower on the list, CCR is higher on the list.

#25 Crazy - Seal!!!!!

I only got this because of Amanda saying Peter Gabriel.. I went to see if it was sledgehammer - but finally recognized it as Crazy!!!!

Thanks Amanda!!!


Nuts... But you got it right! :D



I should have added this before... I am going to say it placed around 350 ;)


Nope. It's further down on the list.

I missed these before!

#33 Supertramp  ???

#44 The Nightfly - Steely Dan (for bonus; #650)

#48 Bruce Springsteen ?

The other two: keep guessing. Kate Bush is lower on the list, CCR is higher on the list.



Kate Bush #30

CCR #750

I missed these before!

#33 Supertramp  ???


Yes it is!


#44 The Nightfly - Steely Dan


Correct on the title, but it isn't Steely Dan. Well, not all of them anyway. ;)


#48 Bruce Springsteen ?


You heard right! It is The Boss.

Okay, here's the deal: both songs are somewhere between #1 and #300 on the list.



Ooops  :-[  

Let's try:

Kate Bush #250

CCR #200

You heard right! It is The Boss.


Thunder Road - bonus #800

For bonus points - #550


No, not even close. It's somewhere between #1000 and #2000.


Ooops  :-
Thunder Road - bonus #800


"Thunder Road" is aldo correct.  :) This one (like the Supertramp one) is somewhere between #1000 and #2000, though.
