15/30 Without cheating
15/30
Without cheating neither. I knew the artists but half forgotten the titles of their albums, I could have scored at least 20/30.
23/30
Kicking myself at Jimmy Cliff and The Mothers
19/30
could do better.
19/30
Mothers I had down as Frank Zappa.
Sanatana album I had as Abraxas - hell of a mistake since Abraxas is the one with the unclothed lady on the front - when I was 13 it was profoundly unsettling and I hid it from my parents - to save my own embarrassment.
10/30
...and another 7 that I should have got, because they're favourite albums. Once again, I'd have done better in the days when I sat and pored over each new hard-won purchase, steeping myself in the details of the sleeve and lyric sheets. Who has time for that nowadays? Very sad.
Thirteen
There were a few that looked familiar, including four in my collection that I didn't get.
A baker's dozen.
Quite a few near misses though.
Quite pleased with 20
plus 2 artist only. Kicking myself about missing the Nick Cave.
21!
Not bad - should've got the Mothers and the Wonder Stuff
A dodgy 4...
....only redeeming fact is I own copies of 14 of them !
19!
Reasonably pleased with that .... especially as I only own four of them.
Quiz pt3
15/30 and I own just about all of them...bastards!
14/30
Not bad, not good. No kicking of self, though.
22/30
Nothing worthy of self-kickage, the ones I didn't know, I didn't know.
These quizzes are magnif, by the way.
17/30
17 fully correct and about 6 with band names only. I can live with that
