Damn, a certain Miami-based DJ kept me from a perfect score this week. Otherwise this quiz was right in my wheelhouse. I feel like it’s been so long since I got them all but I’m proud of my 19/20.
That’s the one I missed too. Lots of music nerd stuff this week.
13 of 20 – blanked on the hair band- typed in just about every other one. Could be a photo finish for the top spot – can’t wait to see what happens.
I’m normally pretty weak on hair metal, but I knew that one for some reason.
18/20 … Went down to the last second.
And you let go, let go, let go, ’cause you know you’re getting tired.
Can you feel it getting down to the wire?
Yes I can…damn I sunk in the standings but that is alright. If this was just a classic band quiz…Max would max out.
You got the Buffalo Springfield reference, right? Maybe we should do some classic rock quizzes next.
Yes I did…
The funny thing is I grew up in the 80s and 90s…but know the 50s-70s the best.
19 – missed the first one, smooth sailing the rest of the way!
I think we’d be exactly tied and headed for a thrilling final round showdown if I was an official contestant.
I’m in good company then!
So many songs I knew, but so many names I couldn’t remember. 14/20. Just miserable!!
I was happy in the arms of a 19 score
But heaven knows I’m miserable now
I no I can’t come anywhere close to winning so it is all pride now
19 here – a shaven-headed ‘mutt’ kept me from 20
Happened to Rich and I too.
19/20.
BOOM!
Haha. Yeah. I was pretty pleased with myself, especially since my wife was distracting me at the time too.
19/20 – Don’t know the artist that did ‘Better Together’.
I remember ‘Timber’ being very big, the artist (also known as Mr. Worldwide) is really a meme to be fair.
I totally missed it! Tuned out of pop culture for a few years there.
