LL Season 90

[SBurrus]

I won my Day 5 match, 2(2)-0(1). Thank goodness for Mork and Mindy and Haiti! This brings my total number of correct answers for the week to 5, and I'm still just 1 point out of the promotion zone in my rundle.

Thorsten's questions so far this season are just not matching up with what I know! With a 0.349 answer percentage through my career, I am only batting 0.167 through week 1 of this season's competition.

I am 11/25 so far this season. The % for my entire D rundle is down as well. This seems more difficult than last season for me as well.

Oddly enough, I only got Mork and Mindy because two days before, I went into a Wikipedia rabbit hole starting with Happy Days after seeing Pinky Tuscadero come up in the TD game.

I got the KGB question thanks to Prisoner of Trebekistan:

Likewise.

Thirded. A lucky 3 pts. to seal the win and bring me to 1-3-1 through week 1. One of my worst career starts. Can only go up from here, right?

/I think I used that cliché earlier this week already.
//darn you, Shania Twain, and your catchy lyrics.

Wow... at least -8- acceptable answers for the Billboard question and still only a 33% get rate.

My first thought on that question was Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then I talked myself out of them and into The Dave Matthews Band. Classic example of overthinking.

I got it thanks to the series Reilly Ace of Spies. Prisoner of Trebekistan probably helped to reinforce it.

Probably quite a few like me tried to parse just WTF Modern Rock meant to Billboard. In my case, that effort was hilariously unsuccessful.

This was me... I ended up debating between White Stripes and The Killers.

not a list I ever look at, I only look at hot 100 and 200 album list.

all i could guess was what band was crazy popular at that time and attempted Nickelback.

[Ironhorse]

As a teenager at that time, I cannot emphasize enough just how big Linkin Park were then.

+1 for Nickelback. I keep hearing about them. I opted for them over Blur and Blink-182. Never thought of any of the ones that were correct.

I WAGged Coldplay so I was amazingly on the right track (they did top that chart once) but give me a list of 16 bands including the 8 accepted, and I'd only have a 50% chance of getting it right.

Yep. I said One Direction.

I hear ya. My guess was Coldplay. If I would have thought about it more then the most likely of the bunch that would have occurred to me is Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Johnblue]

Another Coldplay guess here. I wonder what’s on that chart these days. Rock is dead, sadly.

Well, if Rock weren't dead, it'd then be Plant or Animal (or Fungi or Archaea or...)

I guessed Coldplay, as well. Don't know much about modern music anymore; for me, good music ended early in the 1990s. Thank goodness for Sirius XM with its 70s/80s/Classic Rewind/Classic Vinyl/The Groove channels.

I was surprised that the Red Hot Chili Peppers were still big in the first decade of the new millenium. They were pretty big when I was in college.

After a third goose egg on MD6, I FINALLY hit a batch of questions that matched up with my knowledge base on MD7, winning 7(5)-2(1). My only miss was the alkane question.

[bluejaylink]

I had Green Day but decided to change it to Nickelback last minute.

I also mixed up Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Oops.
