Yay! Go me!!

I'm pleased that of my three non-answers, I hadn't even heard of two of the bands!

Good quiz TM.
 
Judas Priest was such a better answer than the Charlatans.

Damn, kicking myself for the Marvin Gaye one! I actually thought Marvin Gaye for a brief second but didn't dwell on it for too long :dunce:

I really should have got Q7 too as it was easy, and I also thought Judas Priest for Q5.
I guess my brain wasn't working too good last night :guilty:
 
Awww poo! Shame I missed this it looks like fun.
 
Late entries High-Test and Greycap added to the leaderboard! Nice tries - particularly liked High-Test's answer to question 6, "Expensive in France? - Cars" :lol: 👍 That was worth a half score!
