Aqua was my good lady

I was TOTALLY on the wrong path, looking through my list of Modern, Atomic, Space, Information...oh well!

#2 was a one-off 80's group
#15 was an 80's individual

The Crowd

Just 15 to go?

Yep... and probably the biggest name of all the bands today

Men At Work

#15 is an individual

Kenny Rogers

15 elvis costello

Ironically, although the answer has nothing to do with death, the artist is in fact dead

Right, it is someone who has died, during the last decade and his name is also given to another individual who has also 'recently departed'... but not in death. This person was hitting the headlines shortly before the Coronavirus broke out.

BRB

Prince

AND THAT'S A WRAP!

too late

Thanks again Aspro. What's next on the quizzing agenda?

Does anyone else want a crack at this?

cheers aspro.

Great question

Ta Aspro, hopeless as usual

Cheers again for the quiz Aspro. Found it tough as always!

Thanks Aspro.

I wouldn't mind at some point aspro.

Give me a day and time to have it ready by and that will motivate me.

I can do a fastest finger first real names quiz right now if anyone is interested - mixture of music and film people

go for it

Here's a suggestion Squares. If you can get one up for tomorrow (on top of the quick-fire one now) and I'll do a 'FILMS' version on Sunday?

I've also got some film title anagrams. Need to add a couple to make it up to 10, and I can post that one Saturday.

Every little helps hfink. Gotta get through this lockdown somehow

Want to do some gardening while the weather will be good for the next few days but happy to do one later next week.

^at different time to squares of course (or it could just be a secondary one for people to dip into when they like).

Absolutely Aspro, helps pass the time

You can have the Sunday slot of you wish hfink. Lockdown is not going away in a hurry so mine can wait

Cheers aspro. As tough and enjoyable as ever

Tell you what Aspro, stick to your Sunday slot, and I'll post mine once yours is complete Saturday evening/night. Mine will only be 10 questions and I think most of them will be spotted quickly (well, famous last words and all that... :) )

thanks aspro.

Okie doke hfink... by the time we all get back to work we'll be fried

I can do one for late tomorrow morning if anyone is interested.  Maybe a mix of song titles and bands?  I don't think I am going to be very good at it.

indeed, lol. (but at least or band/music knowledge will be better!)

^that was reply to Aspro there of course, not squares

OK so if I've got this correct, this is the Agenda

Saturday (Late AM) - Squares (Mixed)
Saturday (Evening) - hfink (Anagrams)
Sunday (Afternoon) - Aspro (Films)

Good stuff, thank you.

Calling Aspro...
Sorry mate, I hadn't read the agenda above and just realised I messed up with my communication in this thread when I said:
"...stick to your Sunday slot, and I'll post mine once yours is complete Saturday evening/night.."
That should have been "...I'll post mine once yours is complete Sunday evening..."  i.e. I'll post mine Sunday evening.

Doh! Sorry mate, I should have proof-read my post! I can defo post them later today after your quiz
