Music Quiz: 50 Years of The Rolling Stones
Congratulations to jprobichaud and Tony, who both top scored 14/15 in last week’s quiz.
This week’s challenge is a rare single artist quiz, where you need to name 24 Rolling Stones albums.

I scored 21/24, although I was confused by one cover where it’s different than the CD copy I own.
How did you score?
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.
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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
