Here is week four’s quiz:

Like the previous week’s quiz, the average score is 70%. I found it a bit easier and scored 20/20 – how did you get on?

Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
It’s been a while… SCORE
20/20
One I had to guess on one and I got it. 90s “group” I didn’t listen to.

Great work. I’m not big on 1980s hair metal so I had to guess through a few possibilities.

Oh yea…the same band with a song name similiar as a Who song…
I grew up in the 80s…I know that stuff well but that is why I favor 60s and 70s

A fairly easy 20/20 for me (and likely most music fans). My browser was wonky as I took the quiz so my time (2:27 remaining) wasn’t as quick as it should have been. I continue to enjoy this format.

Only 14% of people on Sporcle got the George Clinton project, so we’ll see. Hopefully more people on here get that one.

Guess a lot of people need to free their minds…and their asses will follow.

Easy-peasy, 20/20. Although that said, I guessed every hard rock band on earth before on one of them before I got it.

The average score is the same as last week, 70%, but it probably favours this site’s demographics more. Not much hip-hop and the hardest one is a classic rock era band.

I can’t remember who that was now.

I thought the Clinton one was the hardest – I only know of them because of being a music geek.

Oh, yeah. I know them. Not a huge fan, but like.

20/20 for me but I had to guess a bit on a couple so it took me almost all the time.

20 with 3:03 to go – I went back after and looked at some of the stats. What a difference in streaming quantity from the Dee Snider Band’s #1 song to their #3

The Archies in the first quiz are pretty much the quintessential one-hit wonder too. Another quirk is the predominance of Christmas songs – screenshots must have come from Christmastime.

Great work. I think Funkadelic is music geek territory – I’ve never heard them on the radio or anything.

Great work! I don’t really want to keep track of everyone’s times over 14 weeks – if it’s a 3-way tie at the end we’ll just have to live with that. You’re equal with me, I think, although I’m not an official contestant.
