Knowing Pop Stars Names

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

How good are you at remembering the names of people in pop groups? Prompted by comments on the PCDs thread I realised to my surprise that I can't actually remember all five out of Girls Aloud who are one of my favourite acts.

Back in the day I had the names of several bassists and drummers neatly filed in my brain but my synapses have been failing me more and more of late, or maybe I just care a lot less.

Does it matter? Probably not, though I couldn't tell you who SINGS what on which GA track either. (I can't reliably tell Agnetha from Anni-Frid in ABBA either - I am poor at voice recognition.) (Can't recognise instruments either) (Pretty useless critic eh!)

I am quite disturbingly good at popstars' names, even ones I really couldn't give a monkeys about, except a few which I have massive mental blocks over eg: frontman of Gallows, who I contantly want to call Alex Turner even though I KNOW that's him out of Arctic Monkeys.

I am ultra-rubbish at voice recognition but then I constantly mishear lyrics, too.
