Music Quiz: 50 Years of The Rolling Stones

1. Glad you chose an artist that’s right in my wheelhouse. Got a relatively easy 24/24 with 9:40 remaining on the clock. I started getting into The Stones in the late-70s when I reached my teenage years, and recall a particular period around ’80 to ’81 where I bought about 15-20 of their albums in a single year. For a teenager with limited funds that was quite an accomplishment. Kids today with their streaming services don’t know how easy they have it. Haha.

   • Yes, it’s overwhelming having so much choice sometimes. But perfect score!

2. Umm got caught around the axles of spellcheck on one or two but 100% in the time limit. To be honest any less and I wouldn’t be welcome at my partners come Christmas

   • I wouldn’t have told on you, but congratulations!

3. If you transpose the digits, with my 12, we’re the same again!
   I should have had closer to 15 though, couldn’t figure out the wording of the ‘satanic’ one – I still have much to learn when it comes to the stones!

   • I was trying to put an at in front of that one, but got it eventually.

4. Funny thing. I know so many songs of theirs, but album names I am not good at so I won’t even try. i only have 2 Stones albums on vinyl right now and slowly adding them to my collection. Maybe in a year I will be able to do this one.

   • You probably already know this, but the four album run of Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street is pretty spectacular.

     • I have Sticky Fingers and Tattoo You so far on vinyl. I will be getting the rest eventually.

     • Full agreement from here!

5. Missed by THAT MUCH. 23/24. Missed the lurid 80s one, damn it!

   • I missed that one too. I would have described it as fluorescent, but lurid is an even better description.

6. 24/24 8:52 to go. I own all of these and play them often!

   • Perfect score.

7. 9/24. I got the majority of the albums I have listened to.

   • Yeah, I need to hear more – pretty unfamiliar with almost everything past Goat’s Head Soup.

8. I’m late to the party as I was traveling all week. A pathetic 18/24, pathetic in that I am as big a Stones fan as you can get. But I could not remember some of the earlier ones and most recent ones to save my life.

   • Yeah, I’m sure the earliest ones and the most recent ones were the toughest.

9. Now, in case you were thinking I was a total idiot from my recent scores – here’s one where I got all 24!

   • I bet you’d enjoy this one too:

10. I got six. Some confusion occurred in the late nineties/early 2000s and once I’d made one mistake it all sort of went wrong! The long haired 1999 one threw me.

    • I think that one was tricky – he looks younger with long hair!
