14 is Pussy Galore. I'm having trouble with what song it is - possibly 'Fuck You, Man'. I dunno...

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 11 June 2004 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and 26, deffo Mudhoney!

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 11 June 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

51 "Be My Wife" by david bowie

― frankE (frankE), Friday, 11 June 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

17 sounds like free loan investments or kahimi. will check later.

― minolta (minolta), Saturday, 12 June 2004 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

#8 IS "Gangsta, Gangsta" by NWA.

#14 is "Cunt Tease" by Pussy Galore.

― BrokenWitch04, Saturday, 12 June 2004 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

You people, man, you're too much.

― Derek Erdman, Saturday, 12 June 2004 05:05 (twenty-one years ago)

52. is bugging the hell out of me. I don't know any others that people haven't got already, but am going to be screeching 52 in my head for the rest of the morning until I remember what it is. My first thought was Dinosaur Jr, but I've changed my mind totally about that now.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 June 2004 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

As Rob pointed out, 17 is Smack Dab's "Lucky."
Actual title of 10 is "Heaps of Sheeps."

35. is definitely "you're my best friend" by queen.

FYI, #46 is spelt "Flim," not "Film"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 12 June 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I think #14 is "Cunt Tease" off that Pussy Galore comp Corpse Love.
I think.

11 is catholic education by teenage fanclub

From the LP? I'm not quite hearing this, but my ears might need cleaning. Is it definitely that TFC track?

― Nag! Nag! Nag! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Sunday, 13 June 2004 09:42 (twenty-one years ago)

The reason I thought I knew #52, in hindsight, is because it sounds like the ending to a Teenage Fanclub song (Starsign? don't know). It isn't though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 13 June 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

20 - "Another State of Mind" by Social Distortion

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Sunday, 13 June 2004 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

22 = Satan is Real by the Louvin Brothers.

― cws (cws), Sunday, 13 June 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I believe #22 is "The Christian Life" (on the Satan is Real album)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 13 June 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

scratch that.. I still don't think it's "Satan is Real" though (isn't that just a sermon over an organ background?)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 13 June 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

22 is most definitely "satan is real," which starts out with a proper chorus before the organ and sermon begin.

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Monday, 14 June 2004 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

16. is "Cough/Cool" by The Misfits

― Matt Kallman (San Carlos), Monday, 14 June 2004 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i checked 50 and is definitely 'hey' by butthole surfers

― zappi (joni), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, so what numbers are left?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

11, 52, 56

― alan banana (alan_banana), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Here y'all go.

11
52
56

― NickB (NickB), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:18 (twenty-one years ago)

What the heck is 52? It sounds like what I always imagined the Electric Eels sound like. The Dead Boys? I dunno.

― NickB (NickB), Monday, 14 June 2004 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

56 possibly Nazi Punks Fuck Off by the Dead Kennedys. Someone should check this.

― matulageci (matulageci), Monday, 14 June 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i think 11 is the version of catholic education off the whats up matador comp

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 14 June 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

at least its off that comp

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 14 June 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember that Fannies song. First thing I thought of when I heard it was 'Polar Bear' by Ride.

― NickB (NickB), Monday, 14 June 2004 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

56 possibly Nazi Punks Fuck Off by the Dead Kennedys

Don't think so. Suicidal Tendencies, maybe?

― frankE (frankE), Monday, 14 June 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Almost there. And I have no idea what the remaining songs are. (52, 56?)

― San Carlos (San Carlos), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone?

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

52 sounds more like some sort of late glam thing to me.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok, 56 is "we don't need it" by bad brains...

so just one more

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I should've kept that one to myself...

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Look at www.derekerdman.com for the final result. Congrats, gents.

― M.D., Friday, 18 June 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF ????????????????????????????????
Did this Knox fellow find our list and fill in the final blank (which was already guessed at -- correctly, as it turned out -- by Nick?
WTF ????????????????
How long has this quiz been on his website? The timing here is far too coincidental.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a sick world, kids.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Was that whole $$$$$ thing for real?

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

it was fun, though. and THAT is the real $10000 prize.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i won!

― Lanny, Friday, 18 June 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

My guess is that Ian Knox does not exist and that the final list was posted to get out of his obligation to pay out. This Erdman fellow can expect a mob at his door.

― frankE (frankE), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

If it's real, then he's stolen our FAP money from us.
If it's not real, then we should all feel so .... used.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

doesnt ianknox sound like ilx? if you say it really fast. or look at it fast.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Let's get the SF ILM'ers to track this guy down! I'm only half-joking.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

... track him down to see if he exists.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I Koan X.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I am utterly convinced that the prize money was a scam from the start. Perhaps I am just stating the obvious.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Y'think?

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 18 June 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

the check was made out in crayon

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Friday, 18 June 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

this is a guy who writes fake letters to lonely women in prison and then posts them on his website. you expect him to hand out a real check???

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 18 June 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

posts their replies, i mean.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 18 June 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I never bothered to read the rest of his website. So the guy's a crackhead? Huh.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 18 June 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Noooo! Why did I post the second to last song? Am I retarded?

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Saturday, 26 June 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Track 11 isn't Teenage Fanclub. It's Bricklayer Cake.

― Colonel Cucumber, Saturday, 26 June 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

He's not a crackhead, he's an 'artiste', Barry.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Sunday, 27 June 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

"outsider art" meaning "not attempting to obtain or display skill"

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Sunday, 27 June 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, his Mary-Kate & Food drawing on Ebay (linked on ILE) is quite the artistic accomplishment.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 27 June 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Finally, some validation. You guys are A-ok!
