Music Quiz: W,X,Y, and Z Albums by 3 Singles

26 Comments

1. Ugh…a real stinker for me this week. Got the 12 I knew easily and followed that with 8 incorrect guesses. I really need to shut off whatever music I’m playing when I do these quizzes and focus on the song titles. I would probably have gotten a couple of the ones I missed. Oh well.

   • Sometimes I don’t move on from the thing I’m guessing until I get it right. That way I get at least one right!

2. 14/20
   The guesses didn’t work this week.

   • The guesses don’t work, they just make you worse.

     • Yep!

3. 16/20. I got a few good guesses in but ran out of gas. I barely know any hip-hop or rap so I have no hope of winning these.

   • You held a lead again for a while there.

4. 17/20. I was perfect up to 14 and the wheels fell off from there. Not bad though, methinks.

   • Yup, you’re in the joint lead so far.

5. 17/20 – fell off at the end, Ne-Yo, Kanye West and Coldplay were my errors.

   • I missed Ne-Yo too, but you’re in the joint lead so far.

6. 20/20 with 2:09 on the clock. Some good guessing for sure

   • Great work – I think you know more about Ne-Yo than the rest of us.

     • Ha! ne-Yo was actually left by default for me. It picked itself.

       • OK, figured he wasn’t your scene.

         • I actually like him, he seems like a cool guy (my daughter watches World of Dance or whatever that show is he is judge on). Just don’t know his music.

7. 19/20 – my lack of knowledge of Ne-Yo songs will weigh heavy upon my soul today.

   • He was pretty big in the 2000s – I totally missed him though.

8. A pathetic 8.
   I know what I know – The Who, The Police, Marvin Gaye, Floyd, Oasis, Whitney, Supremes, CCR. The rest I just don’t know or even care! I don’t lower myself to guess, because the guesses would not be educated! If I don’t know I don’t know.
   I still enjoy doing it though.

   • I like the art of guessing – sometimes it’s pretty clear what genre the songs are from, so I go from there.

9. Sailed through the first 17 and then went 1 out of 3 on the guesses – better than last week’s 1 out of 8 or 9 though on those guesses!

   • Same as me!

10. I agree that there is an art to the educated guess but when you don’t even know who Ne-Yo or Matchbox 20 are it becomes more difficult, same as last week when there seemed to be even more contemporary stuff. I haven’t got a clue about Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande and I couldn’t even name more than two Adele songs (Skyfall and Make You Feel My Love if you’re wondering) – so, I just answer what I know and see how many points that gives me. My score of eight is an accurate reflection of my knowledge (or lack of).
    I do much better on the 70s song lyrics/album covers type quizzes though!

    • I think younger constituents will complain if we stay in the 1970s all the time! I don’t keep up with everything but I find there’s plenty of modern music I enjoy.

11. In answer to your question….. No, no I cant’….. 13-20. Too many hip/hop & R/B for my rock brain… 🙂

    • Less hip-hop and R&B this coming week, promise.
