Bit a communication error for me, maybe Original Heardle and their new owners have pulled the plug on Heardledecades, none of the former links for 60's, 70's or 90's work for me.

So todays effort was failed on the Original, the link to the 80's still worked so a 2 seconds there and the 00's still worked got that after 4.

Original Heardle: Fail. Unsurprisingly.
60's Heardle: 1 second: wrong :( 12 seconds ✔ Surprising as it is nothing I like and haven't heard it since the early seventies.
70's Heardle: Fail. Thought it was the band he was originally in. Never liked the follow up.
80's Heardle: Another fail. Again someone I have ignored.

Optional Bonuses
90's Heardle: Yet another flop.
00's Heardle: Nope. Another artist I skip over.

The varying volume levels are an annoyance too.

Hang my head in shame time, I didn't recognise the 60s at all, a track that has passed me by! Unfortunately so had all the rest 80s, 90s, 00s and original but saved by an ace for the 70s!! Had I not got that it would have been shoot myself time as it combines two of my favourite things!! :-D

Its back :-D

Original Heardle https://www.spotify.com/heardle/
60's heardle, https://www.60s.heardledecades.com/
70's heardle, https://www.70s.heardledecades.com/
80's heardle https://heardle80s.com/

Optional Bonuses
90's Heardle https://www.90s.heardledecades.com/
00's Heardle https://2000sheardle.glitch.me/

In order today went,
Original fail too new
60's really only fans would get it and generally awful, but animal cunning got it in 17
70's 2 seconds
80's 17 seconds

Bonuses
90's would have got it had the singing started but Fail
00's 2 seconds very good chance of breaking a duck on the "newer" stuff, very well known track and artist.

4 out of 6 again, and original heardle churning yet another USA outfit of little relevance.

4 out of 6 again, Not a great selection of tracks for me. 60's was quite likeable and the 70's one written after an underwhelming gig at Dunelm House Durham so they had a more rousing number to close the set with is of course a classic.

A complete fail.

2 out of 6 all fails apart from the 1970's liked that 2 seconds, and the 90's where after 12 seconds the artist sings the name of the track otherwise I wouldnt have had a clue

On the 80's has that artist ever written a worse intro, the 60's you have got to be joking hats off to anyone who remembered that one, the original I do enjoy some of the "beats" they lay down and the quirky lyrics, but only a fan would get that one...at least the track wasn't American today. :-D
