Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You're lucky I had three minutes to kill. Pretty lame. Oh, 9 of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the two I had to pass on, one I am proud to not know...the other one I probably should have known. I know you don't want to spoil it... What dis you pass on? The same as me? And... I didn't know that passing on one would mark it wrong... I thought you could go back and listen! Knowing that, I would have just guessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 YES! That was cool. I got 10 out of 10. I think that just shows my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, we missed the same two. I am kind of proud I didn't know #4, but I should have gotten #8 even though I was never a big fan of that band. I got more than one right that I am embarrassed to know, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I took from it. I don't how the phuck I missed #8! The other one was tricky... I still can't pick it up... And I have watched CaddyShack a zillion times!

Delete This Account Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 9 out of 10. missed on message in a bottle. otherwise, agree. pretty lame. if you can't get 7, you don't know much about music. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linksfiend Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 8 of 10. Missed the Journey one. #8 I listened to 4 or 5 times. I guess I just don't know the bass line from that song that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon in Pasadena Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 9 out of 10. missed on message in a bottle. otherwise, agree. pretty lame. if you can't get 7, you don't know much about music. jw Interestingly, that was the only one that gave me trouble. I got all the others instantly. But then again, I'm a) a weirdo who tends to hear & remember songs by their bass lines, not their melodies (drives the wife crazy), and b) an ex-bass player, so that helped. But I can't argue too much with your premise; I should listen to music from that era more often than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't hear the Journey bass in #4... The Journey song's bass is really stripped down to say the least! IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
