Tommo’s Big Popper 5
Everyone seems to like Pop – I mean up to about the 1990’s when with one or two exceptions it turned into Pap.
Tunes from the sixties will live on far longer than some of the stuff which is served up now under the guise of music – gangsta rap for instance.
Anyway, here’s an abundance of questions for you – 50 more in Quiz Five – and questions will get progressively more difficult as we go on.
I am setting a limit too – no more than 10 questions can be answered in one span of four hours. This is to give everyone a chance. Anyone who contravenes this will have 2pts taken off for every one by which they exceeded the limit !
