My best score so far...
...in these quizzes. 23 correct, 2 artist correct title wrong (prince/omd)and I own 3 of the 5 I didn't get at all.
Dismal
10 out of 30. And one of those I didn't get (Pat Metheny's "Offramp") I only bought a few weeks ago. Another great quiz, though!
Sob
only 11.
ok
16 for me. Happy i didn't get the pat metheney one.Anyone honestly get the Boomtown Rats ?
Honestly...
...I got the Boomtown Rats. Didn't get the Clash, Magazine or Springsteen, albums I actually own.
Mondo Bongo?
Anybody *not* get that, considering the title was visible in the photo...?
a paltrey
12
Not Bad
15 correct artists & titles. I am counting Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel because stricly speaking it was self titled.
2 correct artists wrong title Killing Jone & Roxy Music plus two artists with no title.
21 right...
not too bad.
18 right
Didn't get any where I recognised the artist but couldn't recall the album title.
15
great quiz - again, thanks to whoever it is puts the time and effort in - I think the selections are always bob on - just enough you know straight off the bat, a few you're *sure* you know just give it time - and the rest you *want* to know the answer to, or are genuinely surprised when the answer is revealed (Japan for me this time!).
Dear god
I scored 6, having identified but failed to fill in the entry for Steely Dan's - Gaucho. A harsh examiner would probably also knock off half a mark for 'Debbie' Harry (as opposed to Deborah).
27 out of 30
27 out of 30
Pat Metheny, The Specials and the Stones were my downfall (I could have sworn that was Vini Reilly out of the Durutti Column rather than Ron Wood).
17 right
Easily my best score yet. Always thought of the seventies as "my decade" but this may prove that it is actually the eighties (sniff, sob...)
19
...and kicking myself for the ones I should have known but didn't get (Steely Dan, Split Enz, Iron Maiden). Impressed even myself my recognising Young Marble Giants!
24-ish out of 30
Missed out on LKJ, Neil Young, Bruce, Pat Metheny & the Stones, and gave myself half each for getting the titles of the Young Marble Giants & Public Enemy albums wrong... felt very smug about getting the "+" (as opposed to "&") in Roxy Music's "Flesh + Blood" so I consider it a moral victory :)
Nice to see the Boomtown rats album - I won that in a Smash Hits competition, happy days!
Late entry
21. Should have got Ultravox and Iron Maiden. Not a prayer with the others I missed, though.
This is the hardest one, IMO
18, including a couple of wild stabs in the dark that improbably came off.
Proper.
11 - could do better
My first go, I'll have to try the other decades...
Modest 18
Mistook Japan for Thin Lizzy's Thunder and Lightning. All those years of spending my pocket money on on Pop music magazines may not have been misspent after all...
Yep
Exactly the same here. Got the piss ripped out of me at work until I showed them the Lizzy one.
A few reluctant "OK - fair enough"s came my way after that.
Well Vindicate.
lightning strikes
anyone else think that the japan cover was thin lizzy's thunder and lightning - they are similar, honest !! only 10 correct
Flattered?
Word's been ripped off (again)! Have a look at this "new" game on music blog Popdose:
http://popdose.com/cover-me-game-one/
The fact that they use the same Boomtown Rats cover in theirs is particularly obnoxious.
And...
Roxy Music.
