A special message from Antonio and his team can be found following the answers. The somewhat obvious theme was travel in general, but a subtle sub-theme was that any places mentioned were ones where you can't get there from here. The average score was a generous 360. Bob Bluestein has already posted GOLQ163. Thanks to all who entered.

Manrique, the top Spanish Public Radio DJ's with the best Oldies Program and the Best Music Selection Program (Radio 3's "Flor De Pasion" and "Ambigu", respectively), to Nick Hornby for his wonderful "High Fidelity" book, to the creators, quizmasters and players of the quiz and to all the music that we have been listening to and enjoying". ============================================================================== This chart ranks the songs/artists from most recognized to least recognized. The 3rd number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale. Rank Avg.
