Normal blank on 00s and 90s but, for me, an outstanding performance on the rest:

Original. 2 secs
80s. 2 secs

And the not so astounding:

70s. 2 secs
60s. 2 secs

Likely to be the best result I'll ever get! :-D

I failed on the 70's, could have listened to the entire track and not got it :-D You must have the album or be a fan to have got that one in 2 secs.

Only 3 out of 6 today Original 1sec, 60's 2 secs, 80's 2 secs.

I'm semi sure that outfit for the 2000's got an undeserved outing not long back.

I have the album Idlewild South which has it on it. I think it came in a box of "Misc LPs" from an auction for a fiver which I bought because it also had a newer copy of Bridge Over Troubled Water which I wanted to replace my excessively worn original!! Of course having bought it I listened to all the LP's I didn't know and a fair number I threw away!! That one is still in one of my boxes down the storage unit I believe! :-D

It has become the generic name for audio quizzes where you hear a clip of an intro to a music track and you have to identify the track. You can play a bit more each time you guess or pass on a particular clip until you run out of clips and guesses and thereby record a fail. It is a bit of amusement to keep the brain ticking over!!
Neil tends to list all the links from time to time and I keep one of his posts in my bookmarks as a quick access to all the links each day!! :-D

I listen to YouTube with the sound off a lot of the time, mostly when Americans are speaking, not restricted to Americans though, plenty of British 'presenters' or whatever they deem themselves to be.

I hit the mute button on the TV quite often, always through the advert and give us your money breaks.
