Congratulations to Tony and Geoff, who both scored 32/32 in last week’s 1990s quiz, with Tony scoring the faster time.
This week you need to complete song titles with “rock” in them.

I scored 49/50 – I was tricked by two songs starting with “Rock Me”. Can you beat my score?
50/50, 5:37 remaining. I LOVED that one. My buddy Steve loves that song ___ Gave Rock ‘n roll to you.
Perfect score! Karen Carpenter Gave Rock ‘n roll you.
That is literally the dumbest thing I ever heard. Donny Osmond gave rock ‘n roll to you.
I was trying to think of the least plausible thing to fill in the gap. Nana Mouskouri?
Gesundheit!
How are things going over there? You holding up?
It’s in the other island from me, so it feels surreal. New Zealand’s the last place I would have expected it – I didn’t realise, but apparently Christchurch is known for its right wing community. Weirdly, while it was unfolding at about 2pm in afternoon, a Muslim lady and her son from the neighbourhood had dropped in for a cup of tea, and so I could read her letters to her.
Wow! Man, that’s all we’re buzzing about over here. We see this in the US all too often. Like you, NZ was the last place we expected it. Condolences.
90%… that was hard. Rock hard
Hard as a rock. Good score!
50/50 with 5:49 left on the clock. Whew, that was a lot of rockin’ fun.
It was fun. There were about 4 or so I wasn’t sure of so I left those for last. And then it was just a matter of which words grammatically fit .
I did the same thing, answering all the ones I knew and making educated guesses at the end.
Mine weren’t so educated .. .but it worked! 🙂
It’s good Sporcle practice.
Looks like you’re the fastest time so far.
I”m not used to being the frontrunner. I’m sure someone will eclipse my performance. Will you give a “Kam” reference if I end up victorious?
I’ll try to remember! Aaron’s the heavy hitter who hasn’t entered yet.
47/50. A lot of questions but fun.
Yes, sometimes I shy away from long ones, but this was pretty light. Good score!
Jings! That was a tough one. 42 for me. I must not be rock enough.
It was pretty mainstream.

49/50
TIMER
03:40 That was a good one…translation I knew most of them.
49 out of 50 ain’t bad.
Nailed it!
We’re back to our usual tie!
Did you get one of the ‘Rock Me’ ones wrong too?
Alas it was an age/heart issue for me!
How are people doing so well…I guessed about half! Ended up with 42 thanks mostly to the predictabilty of lyrics and English grammar. Got 42 with a minute left…geez. Quite fun though. Thanks
I think that I’ve attracted a bunch of rock addicts,….
Dropped a few balls there with 45
No coffee this morning? Feeling poorly?
I hadn’t had my coffee at that point so there’s a possibility my performance in these is caffeine dependent
Nope – there’s no correlation. I’m several espressos in to the day and just stunk it up even worse with a re-take for 42
Couple of dodgy guesses resulted in 46. As that’s still an ‘A’, happy enough.
Good score! I’m just working on my Matthew Sweet page… did you know that the cover of Altered Beast came in five different colours?
Yes, but I’ve spent years trying to forget that collectible fact. Thanks a bunch. 😉
(There’s a live MS album coming out on RSD 2019, btw. Might have to try for that one)
Cool – I’m just covering the 6 albums from 1991 to 2003 at the moment, but might come back and add some more sometime.
Look forward to it. He’s one of my enduring favourite artists.
46/50. Not bad! 🙂
Yup, great effort!
49/50 for me.
One away from perfection… so close yet so far away.
Just 44 for me.
Good effort – 88% is still a strong A.
Perfect Score! With 2:33 left. That was fun!
Doctor Rock!
48/50, 5:27 on the timer.
Great effort!
