Name That Tune #21 - Results!

Here is the wrap-up for NTT #21! Take it away, MikeJ!
(Crap. This was supposed to be scheduled for noon...sorry!)

The winner, as usual, Platosearwax! His prize, a ruby! Or a picture of Ruby Beach, where I went last week.


Norwad supermen are our betters.

It appears many people figured out that no matter how many albums you have when 50 of them are Frank Sinatra, he's going to show up in my NTT. It might not happen next time.
Cleek was the first to spot Galaxie 500. Many of the people who got Victoria Justice apologized or had some excuse. Pre teen daughters is your best bet here. I was actually surprised how many people got Negative Creep with no lyrics, just a howl. Good job!

Cleek came up with Iggy Pop (not a soda) in the extended time.
Shock and awe = Massive Attack
Huge Celebrities = Big Star

Over all, it did seem to be tougher than many have been. I tried to include lyrics for pointers, and the two that went completely unidentified even with hints were instrumental clips. A winning score of 33 out of 40 is doubly impressive with the degree of difficulty.

    I actually didn’t think I was going to win this. Remarkably, this one hit a sweet spot in my lexicon. All the ones I got in my first pass I barely had to do anything, I got the band and figuring out the theme pointed me right at the song.

    I’m kind of sore about the Massive Attack miss, though. I should have gotten that one.

    That looks like a mighty fine beach. 10 days until I am beaching it in southern Turkey for a week.
