Result
Falcon3 Heardle 4
60's (12 Secs); 70's (2 secs); 80's (12 secs)

No missed chances today. Although did have some idea of the artist from the 90's but chose another for the 17 second guess. I wonder if the footsteps intro to the 80's made it into the PE Jukebox Footsteps into theme.

Quite liked the bit of French singing for the 2000's.

Sadly it took the full 17secs to get the 60s today but I made up for it with a 2 secs on the 70s, recognised but couldn't name the 80s and 5 secs for the 90s ! No chance on the 00s or original but I'm claiming my first draw - 31/2 v 31/2 :-D

I would call that a win Mick on the grounds that the Original Heardle today is null and void. Complete and utter garbage.

Ignoring Original Heardle on the grounds of it being garbage in the excess.
Result
Falcon 3 Heardle 3
70's (2 Secs) easiest ever!; 80's (2secs); 90's (2 secs)

Couple missed chances today.
60's yes I was at 17 seconds, and I knew what it was, one of my favourites indeed, but I put "back" in front of the title and nothing came up on the list so went for an incorrect song from "Easy Rider"
00's I have seen the band live at Meadowbank Stadium, along with "The Editors".

Original: Not a clue.
Sixties: Same.
Seventies: And again.
Eighties: Yet again.
Nineties: Who?
00s: No, I do like some of her other stuff though.
New 00s. Another no.
They have chosen a particularly obscure set today. Score matches Mick's.

Result
Falcon 2 Heardle 5
70's (17 secs); 80's (17 secs)

Couple of speculative last-minute strikes hit the net, otherwise a drubbing with no missed chances. Very close to a wipe out too. :-D

Same here.

Original: Recognised but unable to name. One of my son's bands so must have had it inflicted at his.
Sixties: Completely unknown.
Seventies: Miss.
Eighties: Miss, unknown.
Nineties: Miss.
00s: Miss.
New 00s. Miss, just as well too.

Disappointing choice for the 60s today as I've never been a fan so it took me 12secs to recognise it but still couldn't name it. Rescued by the 70s with that iconic first chord! I would expect all our regulars to get that in 2secs. As for the rest no action required at all by the scorers!! :-D
