    I'm now fairly confident about 11 of the 12, absolutely no clue about number 8 though, can't even hazard a guess. :(

    Same. All good tunes and most are instantly recognisable by artist.

    I'll bet its obvious to the younger hipsters

    Done. No idea on number 9, but the rest I'm confident on.

    If you're referring to number 8, the song is over 20 years old so it's unlikely any young hipsters will have heard of it.

    Same apart from 12 which I used to play to death. My wife played earlier and got ten out of the 12. I think I've got eight.

    So letting it stew seems to have helped a little - I think I've got 8, 9 and 12 now, still super iffy on 10 and not a scoobies about 11

    There will be a further delay until tomorrow to give @JoshBCFC time to get his answers in as I guess he is being a pisshead today :D
    I know some will say "well he's had a week to get his answers in" but please understand that he is from Bristol and they only have access to the internet for 1 hour every week (running water even less than that :D ) and would be a shame for him to miss a round now having played all of the other rounds :)

    Also, I know you said you were away but I thought I'd nudge anyway @Habbinalan :)

    If @Habbinalan doesn't get back to you then as a fellow 'old person' would you replicate my answers for him so he gets a score (fnarfnar)

    So tempted to say that would mean he gets the same points as if he doesn't send any answers but that would be mean ;) :D

    I will sort something for him as he did make me aware of his absence but more likely be that I give him the same points as the lowest scorer from the round as that is what I did in an earlier round for someone else :)

    I'm already sensing a few appeals being lodged for number 11 but the artist for the track is credited as Blackstreet with the track featuring numerous artists including Dr Dre

    Fair enough.

    I have not heard no 8. Just proves the time of life where work took over.

    The penultimate round and it is a return to round 4 and the guessing an artist but this time it is groups we are looking for.....

    Round 9
    Who Are We?

    As the title suggests this is a game where you need to work out which group/band is being referred to from the clues given. For each answer, I will post 1 clue each day during which you will have a 24 hour period to PM your answer to me. If you answer on the first clue, you get 5 points and then with each clue posted the points available drops by 1. So here goes nothing......

    1. Who Am I?
    • We are an all male band formed in the 1960s in Liverpool
    2. Who Am I?
    • We are an American band formed in Aberdeen
    3. Who Am I?
    • We are a family group from Ireland
    4. Who Am I?
    • We are a group of school friends who formed our band in 1985
    5. Who Am I?
    • We formed in 1997 having met at university and since then we have made some big fat noises
    6. Who Am I?
    • We are a manufactured boy band created in the 1990s
    7. Who Am I?
    • We were an All American, all female group who found fame in the 60s
    8. Who Am I?
    • We are an English band who formed in 1998
    9. Who Am I?
    • We are a manufactured 5 piece boy band formed in the 90s
    10. Who Am I?
    • We are an American rock band formed in 1980s LA

    Remember, these are the first clues of 5 so don't dive in unless you're either sure or have narrowed it down sufficiently to have a punt. Once you have PM'ed me any answers they cannot be changed after you see more clues so find that balance before you send me any answers.

    You have until 21:30 tomorrow evening to PM any answers from the above clues to gain 5 points per correct answer.

    I'm not going to answer any of this round until I see at least the 2nd questions. :waiting

    As for t'other round, can't believe I didn't put 'Tubthumping' . . . still never heard of number 8 and number 12 was just a shot in the dark. :dunce:
