Music Quiz: The Only One

1. Congrats Max. I just took the new quiz and got 50% 🙁

   • Thanks for joining in! Hope it was fun.

     • It was stressful being timed. I was also trying to figure out the format of the test. Yes, I know it sounds like I’m making excuses for the bad score. That’s because I am 🙂

2. Nice job by Max last week. Very impressive. This week’s was a real brain-teaser but I did well until stumbling right before the end. My score was 11/12.

   • I think it’s impossible to get the last one wrong if you have all the others right, so much have been the second to last one.

3. Thanks!
   Graham you may want to dock me on this one. My browser froze with 2 answered so I went back in but had to start anew… So I had extra time on it.
   Score
   12/12
   Timer
   00:46

   • 46 seconds remaining, or 46 seconds elapsed?

     • Remaining

4. 12/12 w/ 2:31 remaining – some are obvious but one that I didn’t get my head around at the time is the anagram of the planet which I left it for the last answer but I finally figured it out and I feel dumb about not knowing before.

   • I left that one until near the end – figuring out anagrams for lots of words at once is too tricky.

     • I’ve just heard that Taylor Swift has announced a new album and will release it pretty soon. Can’t wait to listen to it!

       • Seems like a continuation of the Kanye West feud, right? Both releasing tonight.

5. 12/12 with 41 seconds remaining. Not the fastest time but I’m happy with it.

   • Haste makes waste!

6. 10. Isobrain.

   • My isobrain couldn’t think of any masked musicians to add to your gallery. I was thinking Joe Walsh, but he just had goggles or aviators.

7. That was brilliant – 12/12 with 3:01 on the clock

   • 3:01 remaining?

     • Think so – that’s what was on the clock, wasn’t aware if it was counting down just hit the espresso and went for it

8. 7/12, I am not on a winning streak lately 🙁

   • We need to find something more up your street….

     • Maybe I need to not play it at 6am. I’m not awake enough.

9. 10 – had the quiz been out 10, it would have been perfect!

   • Better than your Dire Straits mark.

     • Though technically, if that quiz had been out of 11 (instead of 70), my mark would have been terrific!

       • We clearly need to find a lyrics quiz for a song with 11 words.

         • And then problem solved!

10. I won’t go into details but I bombed this one horribly.

    • You missed last week’s early influences quiz – thought you would have aced that!

      • Totally missed seeing it. Just took it. Ace – no. A couple would not come to mind that I knew like Seeger and Jimmie Rodgers.

11. 8 of 12 – even though its the middle of the afternoon here, could not get my brain in gear on the Roman numeral ones!
    Funny change up from normal focus on musical knowledge.

12. BTW, thanks for the heads up re: new Beths album. Loving it. Feels like some of the songs are a bit harder edged, reminded me in some places of Fountains of Wayne.

    • Still haven’t played it yet – I’ve been saving it for some reason.
