Difficult music quiz

It's very UK-biased, GH. There's a lot of shit bands there that were one-hit-wonder types.

Anyway, I'm on 225 and pretty much calling it a day.

What do I win?...

Oh, and who's number 65 then Wesi?

I'm stuck on 208....still a good total. There are some shitty bands on there....recent reality TV winners,just can't remember their names. Couple of old ones doing my head in!! I've got #65. Calling it a day unless someone can give me some of the answers or tips:-

Wow, I'm amazed at how many of you have gotten over 100. I consider myself to be musically diverse, and I got 61 - but over half the stuff I listen to isn't pop. There's far too much brit-pop in the quiz for my tastes. How'd you learn so much anyway, Geeks? :P

*sigh*...because I have a disgusting habit of buying compeltely random CDs because I liked one song on them, or because I liked the album art, or just because I wanted to buy something, and it's resulted in me knowing way more than I need to about bad music. Kajagoogoo...BLECCCCCCH.

trade hints for spelling help *LOL*

but i still only know of one group with 5 guitar players--and it matches 83 but wont work for me damnit!

IE: in the UK we spell 'travelling' with 2 l's...

W-A-T-C:

9 = L,B
10 = L,P
26 = S,S,C
47 = T,D
54 = B,B
264 = J,B,A,T,M

There's a few hints for starters. How about you help me on 27,31,41,49,65 and 97? I'm guessing you're of an older generation than I as you seem to not know most of the newer bands...

You seem to have all the ones I haven't got, and I seem to have all the ones you haven't. Between us I reckon we'd complete this.

agh!

49- hard to give a hint without giving it away-- instrument in picture--70s band

the others are ones i have not figured out yet either...

77 so far

I feel so ashamed, but there's too many Brit pop acts that are not well known in America. That makes it harder.

Bohardy -
31 read my previous post
49 - Mr Blue Sky

my friend has 65. I'll tell you that tomorrow
210 now.
main ones pissing me off are 12 and 16!

I've got 9, 26, & 264 but can't figure the rest.
Need further clues for 10,47 & 54.
You're right....older generation over 40's
brigade: the ones who haven't watched TOTP in years but watch VH1!!
Hints:
27 F, A
31 Hug someone (too easy)
41 80's band...had a hit with an American bomber plane.
49 70/80,s band from Birmingham. Think Ludwig Van.
65 F,P
97 Famous bassist last name and colour.

Any problems let me know. There are some on there where I haven't a clue!!!

eggy 12 was one of the easy one for me

i remembered the mustache!

gotta fight......--54

65 - As has been said, initials FP, an a capella group, I think their biggest hit was a cover of "Only You" by Yazoo (who are also in there somewhere!). Mrs Thatcher banned them and set the police on them!!!

207 is getting on my nerves as well, cos the main guy so looks like Danny Mcnamara from embrace, but it obviously isn't.
184, 188 are ones which my dad will kill me for not knowing!

188. F.B.T.
