Music Quiz: Are You Ready to Rock?
Congratulations to Rich Kamer(man I feel like a woman) who beat other perfect scorers Jim and Geoff1001 for the fastest time last week.
This week you need to name rock artists from their pictures.

There were a few bands in there that I have zero interest in, so I only scored 20/25. Can you beat me?
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.
Nice “Kamerman” wordplay, Graham. I’m honored. No perfect score for me but still a respectable 23/25. The two I missed are bands I know of but would never have recognized them. Another fun quiz. I like how you mix them up so it’s always something interesting.

I was worried you wouldn’t enjoy that pun, but I thought it was funny – glad you enjoyed it.

As George Costanza once said, “I have an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality” so no offense taken. I’m always up for clever wordplay. š

I think the phrase “man I feel like a woman” can be interpreted in more than one way anyway. Takes a different meaning when spoken by a heterosexual man.

I tied Mr. KamerTunesBlog with 23. Two of them I could not possibly have gotten and didn’t recognize even after their names came up. There are at least two bands on this test that are so recognizable that one must hang their head in shame if they miss.

Alright Jim. Nice job. Everyone needs to give it up for us older fellas.

Speak for yourself on the “older” part. I prefer ‘mature.’ š

Based on my wife’s assessment, I can’t claim to be mature or anything resembling that.

Are you talking about the ubiquitous British rock bands of the 1960s or the 1970s people with very recognisable visual imagery? Great score. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone makes it past 23.

Mr Jagger’s pout and Mr Townshend’s protruding nasal implement are also very distinctive.

I think I may have mentioned before that in their younger days, Daltrey used to refer to Townshend as a nose on a stick.

20/25. The majority were a piece of cake with a few not-so-easy ones sprinkled in. Surprised I didn’t recognize the Eagles & Ramones, I guess I haven’t actively looked at their faces. Didn’t remember Jared Leto’s group. Had seen Serj Tankian before-couldn’t put my finger on his band.

Good work. I remember reading about Glenn Freyās nasal reconstruction from Teflon- someone said that now not only the music has a non-stick surface.

Turns out I wouldnāt know 30 Seconds To Mars if they were helping me spell Evanescence

I think Googling spelling is OK. I think I had to do it for Evanescence too. 30 Seconds To Mars seem like an obscure choice to me.

Three of the ones I missed I knew their name but not their face…the other ones…no clue.

So close, 24! I thought that one flock of birds had more than 4 members, then when I saw the answer, realized I should have recognized the drummer.

I got that one but it is a bit tricky – they had five members for a lot of their tenure, and the drummer is the only one of the original four still in the band.

24. Iāll take that. Took me a few minutes to spell one of the bandās names… which Iām going to put down as the excuse for not getting the Eagles.

Youāre the third person whoās had problems with Eagles. I think people are more used to the Joe Walsh lineups.
