OMG! We haven't done one of these in ages

Yes, it's an album covers quiz.

10 to get; band/artist and album title please.

Valuable 'Spill points for the lucky winner.

Quiz Time - the DsD way

.

So here it is, my first attempt at a quiz. This is an old-fashioned 'Connection' question, so it's a point for each artist, each songtitle, and if the magic word(s) ain't in those two things, two Spill points for identifying the connecting piece of data. The three Spill points for the actual connection should be easy money, as you don't need all of the songs to spot it. An unprecedented five Spill points for identifying the double connection one! And a warning, I do get a little contrived (Jimmy Saville-style) with making a couple of the tunes fit the idea, but hey, it's my quiz ... if you don't like it, I'll be left sitting alone with me pint of Guinness!!!!!

I've tried not to include too many heavy rockers, but No.5 - a direct (songtitle) response to today's inept performance by my beloved Reds - got a late vote-in!

Soulsavers - Blackout : 2pts to saneshane
The Black (Sweden) - Enter Sandman / Take A Chance On Me : see below.
Jon Auer - Song Noir : 2pts to TonNL
Go Home Productions - Rock In Black : 2pts to saneshane
Turbonegro - Self-Destructo Bust : 2pts to saneshane
Japan - Wish You Were Black : 2pts to frogprincess
The Crystalites - Blacula : 1pt to saneshane, 1pt retained by me!
Scout Niblett - Elizabeth (Black-hearted Queen) : 4pts to saneshane's Dad
Paul Anka - Black Hole Sun : 2pts to TonNL
Ella Guru - Base Is The Spine : 4pts to AliMunday (Jimmy Carl Black vocal)

For The Black, I figure it's 2½ pts to saneshane's mate; ½pt to AliM; 2pts EJD. Shane got the 3pts for 'Black' as the connection.

I hope you enjoyed it, but if I've not pitched this right, please feel free to tell me: you can't make my mood any, um, BLACKER than Mr.Southgate's boys & Mr.Redknapp's cross-eyed twerps already have.

Oh no, not another feckin' quiz!

Yep. And this time it's the quiz for the rest of us. Absolutely no jazz (sorry, nilpferd), indie (sorry, blimpy), hip hop (sorry eejay, steenbeck) or reggae (sorry, goneforeign). Just pure unadulterated chart toppin' stadium fillers (well, sort of). These are all well famous bands/artistes. All the clips (ten, count 'em) are Intros. There is one at least from each of the last 5 decades, to make it fair to all concerned. Mr DNA can leave the room for a few minutes, please. Right, while he's outtadaway, get crackin' and solve it. As it's so easy, it will depend on speed of response, not a vast knowledge of indygrungetripgarage. So, fingers on the buzzers...
