h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"The album cover is of the faces of Paul and John and they didn't notice it said 'tribute to… by Gerry Marsden' in small print above and below 'Lennon and McCartney', which is written in large, friendly letters."

This is such a good game - I vaguely knew what would be coming up this time (Ultimate, Unplugged, Unf) but didn't guess which of which! (in particular I had a choice between Eric Clapton and Bryan Adams and picked the wrong one! )

"Sneakily trying to get double points!"

" Ultimate Party <- Does this album come with sausage rolls?" - would be good if it did! Music is one thing, but a party isn't ultimate without sausage rolls

Let's try:

Urban Hymns - The Verve
Venus and Mars - Wings
Voulez Vous - ABBA
Wild Life - Paul McCartney
With the Beatles - The Beatles

Today I am mostly hearing:

Urban Hymns - The Verve

I'm impressed by the variety of Very Best Of albums there are in addition to all the Best Of ones! My handy list only has two...

Please may I have my 8 points back, please? (Urban Hymns, etc) Icy North is already doing well enough in this game without my help!

Yes of course – you mean you're not working as a tag-team?

Yes, it is a good game, and sometimes it's just the luck of the draw of who gets the 'easy' choices - all points are good points
