Weekly Music Quiz: Tom Petty Song Titles
We had a lot of 20/20s last week – apologies if I’ve missed anyone, but congratulations to Rich, Jim, Geoff, Cristian, Tony, and Aaron, who all filed perfect scores.
Sadly, we lost Tom Petty this week. This week’s quiz is about how good you are at linking his song titles.

I scored a sassy 40/40, can anyone equal me?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
Argh. 33/40. Sorry, Tom. Good quiz.

I’m sure he wouldn’t have been Petty about your score.

I liked this one but sucked at it. Only 30 before time ran out.

40/40 with 03:59 on the timer. I suppose listening to TP over the last few days is a good advantage on this one

I got 30 before the timer ran out. Not bad, given I don’t know much about Tom Petty when compared to some other artists. He will be missed. He was producing great music until his final days.

Good effort – thanks for joining in. I’m actually unfamiliar with his stuff from the last 20 years but I know it’s got fans. Actually, I’ve only heard three of his albums in their entirety – I’m generally reliant on that 2 disc Anthology, which is excellent.

I personally think that Echo and Hypnotic Eye were great late-day records!
I also only knew a few select songs of his until this year when I decided to go through his entire discography. As a sad coincidence, I got to the end of it about two or three months ago.

RIP, Mr. Petty. A truly heartbreaking loss for the music world. Sadly, I only got 39/40 on this quiz. 😦

You’re currently second on the leader-board, which is a good effort. I haven’t heard anything he’s done for 20 years, but I was recently enjoying live clips on Youtube – seems like they were still a really good live band.

For recent Petty, you’ll be well-served checking out the two albums he did with the reunited Mudcrutch. The first album is particularly great. They included two members of The Heartbreakers (Campbell & Tench) so it’s not far removed from his “day job” but they did have their own unique sound.

30 for me. Don’t know enough of his stuff, I’m afraid. Rely heavily on a compilation and Hypnotic Eye for my Petty fix.

A few people have mentioned Hypnotic Eye – sounds like I should hear it sometime.

I reckon it’s a pretty good album – definitely worth your time.

Ach, 26/40. I know his songs more than I know the titles! Well done on your perfect score, though!

Thank you! I think there’s a point where if you know enough, you can get the last few by elimination.

Obviously didn’t get enough albums in the 1001!

Alas only his debut ended up on the list – I have his greatest hits, that came in handy on a lot of those titles at least!

That’s kind of weird – would have thought Damn The Torpedoes and/or Full Moon Fever would have been the choices.
