Music Quiz: Band Name Pictograms
Congratulations to Geoff, Tony, and Murphy’s Law, who all scored 24/24 in what I thought was a tricky Jump, Run, or Walk Quiz.
This week’s challenge requires you to recognise bands from pictograms. There are a few tricky ones – I think I speak for us all non Americans when I say “that’s a freaking scone”.

I scored 21/22, thanks to that dastardly scone. Can you beat me?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may just be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
Well done! 23 will be tough to beat. I got 18/22, stumbling on the dogs, bowling, umbrella & piece of rock. But I added a couple to my listen list.

Good score. 23 would be hard to beat… Which bands did you add to your listen list?

The “strawberry” band . The “bowling” guys also new to me but didn’t end up on my list as their albums have low ratings on RYM

By the way, I’m confused by your score of 23 as the link has 22 questions.

21/22 for me. The “scone” didn’t stump me (since that’s actually a delicious baked good that’s popular in the part of America I’ve lived in for the past 3.5 years). The one I missed featured a tunnel or cave and I think that was very misleading. A different picture would have given me a perfect score. Oh well, I’m pleased with my results and enjoyed this quiz.

In New Zealand we call those scones. Biscuits are generally hard. not soft.

17/22… I was stuck on the ships, wood and something else. Great one though

I thought the ships and the wood were on the same one?

They were… I know it’s going to be someone obvious but who was it?

21/22. Damn it. I blew it on the “scone” one. I knew what the food was called but I kept wondering about the carrot part. I know the band but it was the spelling of the second word that threw me off. And the first word wasn’t looking to identify that item at all. Anyway, that one was a lot of fun.

21/22 and ran out of time. Once I saw the one I was stuck on, I get it, but don’t know them and I should have just typed what I was seeing.
