20 Punk and New Romantic Bands name them all and win £10 for your charity.

So two weeks ago Red King bagged a tenner for St. Andrews Hospice by showing a knowledge of metal/ rock bands.

Well it's up for grabs again so dust off the bondage trousers and mohair tops and get out the eyeliner and the hairspray coz todays name game is all about Punk and New/Modern Romantic bands.

Rules are simple, only 1 entry per person and the first all correct entry before 10pm on Monday the 19th wins.

If nobody gets them all its the first person who posts the most correct answers.

Good luck.

1, Expressive art form leads to prison maybe.

2, Required etiquette at garden party perhaps.

3, Either way it's definately fake.

4, Capital boys are not wanted here.

5, Indigenous people howling with rage.

6, Paul and Mrs. wear modern coats.

7, Around in circles, these people are against it.

8, Pack strike it big in Vegas.

9, The lights went out but the symphony continues.

10, Not just an amp/speaker but a great amp/speaker

11, I heard the words, but were there hidden themes.

12, Could "The Who" own this band? Yes ten times even.

13, People in cahoots maybe.

14, Don't be scared and certainly don't cry about it.

15, A barrier of happiness perhaps.

16, A porcelain urinal, the guys most insistent.

17, Style of poker that yields results.

18, This stout combines with rugby leagues 1 pointer

19, Fashion news updates come fast

20, Cheshire boys with dirty old man coat.

    @VespaPX is the current leader at midday Sunday.

    Just a thought for anyone doing quizzes with prizes in the future.

    @VespaPX deserves to lead. But someone will wait til Monday, collate various other entries and win. Not blaming anyone for that-just think that it doesn't give credit to working out the answers.

    How about-most right, but must be the first person to come up with at least 1 answer?
  • TheEdge949TheEdge949 Member Posts: 5,686
    That's a good point. I will certainly try to incorporate the logic into future quizzes, thank you for the input, it's always welcome

    I should have been clearer on the rules.

    Any entrant can add to their list but they cannot change an answer already given.

    So @VespaPX can put additional answers but cannot change one so if contestant A puts red as an answer then later another entrant puts blue, A cannot resubmit that answer if they think the original one was wrong.

    That's why I'm not saying how many correct answers the current leader has.

    It's not ideal I know I'm trying to refine it as I go.

    As the first person to submit 20 answers Red King is the new current leader.
