Music Quiz: Click the Rock Stars A-Z
Happy Christmas to all quiz participants and a special congratulations to Tony, who pulverised the field in last week’s Bob Dylan quiz, scoring a perfect 20 when the next best player scored 10.
This week’s quiz covers a more diverse group of artists than just Bob Dylan. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify 25 rock stars, from A-Z (there’s no X…).

I scored 24 out of 25, can you go one better and score 100%? Let me know in the comments.
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.
Usually, I do terribly with these types of games. On this one, I scored 80%, which is measly but still better than I usually do!😀

Good score! We’ll see how everyone else shakes out.

Weirdly, I couldn’t find Ozzy Osbourne, even though I usually don’t have a problem recognizing him! I played on my smartphone, which perhaps wasn’t that smart to begin with. There were also a few names I simply didn’t know.

He’s a bit older in that photo I think – too old for classic Black Sabbath, too young for reality TV star.

I’m still in disbelief Ozzy ever became part of this reality TV nonsense.

I’m sure more people have seen him on TV than have heard him on the radio.

I got 84%, they could have used the band XYZ for X. Merry Christmas!

Congratulations! It’s all individuals I think – there are a few bands starting with X (X and XTC are other semi-obscure options), but I can think of many solo people.

XTC ‘semi-obscure’? Not in my universe!

Got it, 25/25. I didn’t find this one particularly tough but I decided not to hyperventilate over it but take it slowly and first nail the ones that I absolutely positively knew. After some winnowing out, I was left with Joe Elliott and Dan Reynolds, two guys I wouldn’t recognize if I fell over them in the street. But a coin toss later and I got ’em both.

I knew Joe Elliott was Def Leppard so that gave me some clues to his look. I got Bryan Adams and Jon Bon Jovi mixed up.

I was pretty sure on Bon Jovi. Truthfully I know so little about Def Leppard I don’t even know Elliott.

Yes, I had no idea who Dan Reynolds was. I googled and he’s Imagine Dragons, who I don’t really know,

There were a couple I didn’t know. Looks like quiz participants don’t really know Imagine Dragons.

24 out of 25! My finger slipped and I clicked Anthony Kiedis for someone else (no really, :)) I did all the ones I knew and then did process of elimination – Dan Reynolds and Lars Ulrich were all left and went with my gut. Great holiday quiz!

Tied again! Was down to 3 ladies, guessed incorrectly on the first, correctly on the last 2
2 outta 3 aint bad!

I found the ladies a bit easier actually – partly because there were less, and I could just get Suzi Quatro with elimination.

First time I fired it up, it wouldn’t let me click on the pictures. I refreshed and then it worked. So if it happens to anyone else, you’re not alone!
I got 23/25, but I really think I got 24 because I don’t think I clicked that second one wrong – I’ll admit to the first one, but not the second! 😉

Just back from my Christmas trip to visit my wife’s family and several friends I haven’t seen in a year, and I’m happy to return with a perfect score in this week’s quiz. Only one was a guess so it was easy to use the process of elimination. Much easier for me than last week’s quiz. Seems like I’m not the only one who feels that way.
