Once again thanks everybody for participating. 56 entries in time definitely beat the record set up with Quiz #04. (Plus there is an 57th entry which has been added on February 17th, as The Davitt & Hanser gang proved they didn't read the answers before mailing in their entry a week late).
This one again turned out to be quite difficult as it included a lot of '70's songs. I'll try to set up the next one a bit more up to date
And I must say it was a tough race for victory. The Dutch Officials led the scoreboard for quite a while with Pinky & The Brain depending on the double bonus for identifying 10c to tie with them. Then in the last minute Pinky & The Brain came up with a correct entry for The Drifters and managed to keep the double bonus. So, eventually it's time to announce Pinky & The Brain as the winners of Quiz #06.
Okay, enough words, on with the countdown:

Yes, it's the 'Gramps pack': Dion DiMucci, the man who gave us (or rather our parents) "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer" a.m.o., came back in the 80's with a nice Frankie Miller-ish album titled "Yo Frankie". A real must if you come across it!
