Congratulations to Tony at https://mumblingabout.com/, who solved last week’s quiz in a mind-blowing 46 seconds.
This week’s quiz requires you to name some almost useless music trivia facts.

I scored 27/30 – can you beat me and perhaps get the perfect score?

A mediocre 24/30. The only other one I might have gotten was Calvin Broadus’ real name. I knew it but I could not remember. The rest? No clue.
That came up on 1001albums’ quiz a few weeks ago.
30. It came down to the wire before I realised I was misreading Kelis as Keisha but I’d be useless in most other pub quiz categories
Tony=Einstein.
Just don’t ask me any sports questions
Wow – three 30s this week so far – I thought it was pretty tough.
30 – I can’t say I have a great deal of useful knowledge, but having useless knowledge occasionally pays off!
Wow!
Wow – perfect score. Wonder if anyone else will make it.
Now, I wish I could write you a melody so plain
That could hold you, dear lady, from going insane
That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
Of your useless and pointless knowledge
Tombstone Blues – Bob Dylan
23/30
It’ll be interesting to see the scores this week – there’s been a range so far.
20/30; a couple i had no clue, others I should have known, just had mind go blank
Thanks for entering!
22. Seems I don’t have as much useless music trivia stored away as I thought!
That’s because your head has useful things in it.
Damn those useful things!!
Tied with the host, having spent the last minute typing in random beverages (without success).
It brings all the boys to the yard Bruce.
26 and time ran out on 27 which I would have gotten right.
27 seems like a popular score.
I completely suck at trivia. Since I don’t want to be reminded about it, usually, I don’t bother playing!?
But kudos to you for continuing to find new games!
30/30 2:21 – I drew a blank on Queen and had to mentally go through the end of the song, but other than that I thought it was fairly easy.
Wow – full points!
Scored a respectable 27/30. Always happy to match our host’s results. I had no idea about the three clues I missed so no amount of time was going to boost my score.
I missed the AC/DC one, which probably destroys my rock cred.
25. I don’t know Kelis or Usher, and I wasted time playing Bohemian Rhapsody in my head to figure out that clue. Ah well. I’ll take 83%!
Good effort!
