I really should like pop master but as that quiz just proved its basically an old gits pop quiz.

"Who got to number 37 with some emarrassingly bad obscure crap in 1972?"

Yeah koff Bruce and get with the times grandad.

Ha Ha I'm old enough to know the answers, but too old to work fast. Now if we could become a team the rest of GOT posters wouldn't stand a chance.

Yeah, pop stands for popular, not popular 40 years ago.

Although I'd be sh*t at that quiz too.

I did just get 231, ive got a good general music knowledge but some of the stuff on there (and on the radio version) is just so ridiculously old and obscure it used to annoy me when we had it on at work.

It is aimed at a more, *ahem*, mature audience than Radio 1 or 6 Music, that for sure. (Probably why I quite like it!) .

How anyone gets maximum points is beyond me though

Nothing wrong with that, like.

It's just not what most people would think of when they hear "pop".
