Music Quiz: 50 “Rock” Songs
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?
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.
50/50, 5:37 remaining. I LOVED that one. My buddy Steve loves that song ___ Gave Rock ‘n roll to 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?

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.

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.

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?

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 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.
