Answers:

  2. Simple Minds
  3. Duran Duran
  4. Tears For Fears
  5. Go Go's

Tonight I have a comfortable lead thanks to winning the OnBeat round with 7750 of 9000 and pulled away from the pack. I also won the JukeBox and Triviaoke rounds and had 21551 going into the Encore round. ENIGMA was in 2nd with 15995. I think I know everything about these bands so put 50% of my score. There were only five players at the start of the game and eleven by the end. So with 10776 points on the line....(16000 was the Players Plus target).

Question:...The 1984 album 'Talk Show' was the final release by this band.

No problem, I knew it right away. I signalled over to Bill MADDOG who tipped off Brian OLDUDE who'd both just arrived midgame and were across the bar and it ended up that six of us were right.

Correct Answer:...5. GoGo's

I'm right and finish with 32327 points. I finish 52nd in North America (I needed another 300 points to finish in the Top 20). I missed what position our bar came in. I earn 2000 Players Plus points.

Other games:
9:30pm...Wipeout...3844/15000...6th/6...6626th in North America...bar is 755th...500 P+ points(?)...FCC wins.
10:00pm...Playback...(see above).
11:00pm...RetroTV...11823/15000...1st/6...524th in NA...bar is 384th...1000+ points.
11:30pm...Countdown...7007/15000...4th/9...2910 in NA...bar is 725th...1000+ points (I needed the 1000 points on the last question to meet the 7000 point P+ standard).
12:00am...Countdown...11723/15800...2nd/14...85th in Canada...bar is 13th in Canada with an 11185 average!...OLDUDE wins and is 76th in Canada with 11897. We didn't play as a team.

It was the first time I'd seen OLDUDE in months so I made sure I said hello.
