Last week’s 1960s Ruined by a Letter quiz was pretty easy once you figured out how it worked – lots of 100% scores, but Music Enthusiast Jim was the fastest.
This week’s quiz is more straightforward in concept, but hopefully a little trickier. You need to name famous trios:

I scored 15/18 – can you beat me? I clearly need to brush up on 1980s rockabilly revival and Texan power trios.

Oh boy, I found that quiz very easy except for the band from the late-’90s with a number in their name, but it eventually came to me so I got 18/18 with 0:37 left on the clock. I own albums by 15 of these artists which might account for my score.
I missed the number one, but I’ve never liked them. It was obvious they were a punk-ish band from the late 1990s or early 2000s, just from the way they looked….
I got 12 out of 18 but really 14 out of 18 as I forgot “The” on Dixie Chicks and misspelled Jimi. Ones wrong: Destiny’s Child, Motorhead (I know how could I have missed it!), Blink 182, and Los Lonely Boys.
Great work! Normally it lets you just type in the last word, but I had to type in all of “Jimi Hendrix Experience”.
Thanks! I’ll remember that about the last word.
16/18 for me. Of the two I missed, I should’ve gotten one and the other, no idea.
The Texan rock and roll trio that formed in 1996 seem like easily the most obscure band on the list (if that’s the one you missed)
Pretty sure you’re right there.
16/18 the two I’ve heard of but know nothing about…one of them you do with your eyes.
I was quite happy with myself not getting the eye one – never cared for them.
13/18. Plus it told me You’re so money and you don’t even know it. I should have gotten those three ladies but those damn pictures were pretty small. Likewise those three guys with the famous drummer.
I’m short sighted so small pictures plays right into my hands!
15/18 – I don’t know two of the groups (the one with the felines in its names and the Spanish group) and the other one, I knew of the group but couldn’t recognise them (the two beards).
Yeah, I think those two are the obscure ones. As you may have heard, the guy without a beard has the last name Beard.
Same score as you, honoured host. 15 (but very quickly!)
Maybe I should start giving out bonus points for everyone who calls me “honoured host”….
Excellent plan.
13 for me
Thanks for joining in!
18 of 18 with 1:14 left. It took me a minute to dig deep in the brain to remember one of their names otherwise the score would’ve been much faster.
Great work – you’re looking good for the win this week, although Tony hasn’t entered yet.
17 – perhaps 17.3333333 as I knew the last band had ‘los’ somewhere in the name but couldn’t recall the full thing!
I don’t think Sporcle does decimal points! But good effort anyway.
15 of 18, just like our esteemed host. 🙂 :). like others, missed the obscure band from Teas, the one with the number in the name and then blanked on Beyonce’s former group. Thanks as always
I missed the rockabilly one from the 1980s, but got Beyonce.
