You will need Microsoft Excel to take part in this game. Click on the link and save it to your desktop. Be patient, it's a large document. Simply fill in the name of the band and let us know your final score.

:lol: It could be a quiet night on the forum tonight. I'm on 54 so far and struggling, particularly with the Heavy Metal stuff. I'm sure one of them must be Metallica but which?

I am feeling ancient - never seen half these young uns before!

I should be on "Grumpy Old Women" on TV on Fridays [and, BTW, "Grumpy OLD??? Women" - some them are not that old, surely. Does old = 35 these days? :shock: If they are 'old' then where's my pension, please????]

I'm stuck on 76, and that's with some help from the younger generations so I'm not confident of getting much more. Some I recognise but the names just won't come. : :?

I had Homer's help. It was a most disturbing experience. He got bands such as Slipknot ,while I spotted Jethro Tull :oops: Up until now I'd always thought I was much 'cooler' :cry:


Oh forgot my son - he got 'Busted' :lol:
