Music Quiz: Find the Band Member IV

44 Comments

1. That was surprisingly easy. 24/24 with 3:33 left on the clock. I expect a lot of perfect scores this week, and I doubt my time will be the fastest. These quizzes are fun. Hope your vacation is also fun.

   • That fastest time didn’t last long – Jim pipped you two minutes later, although it seems likely it will get bettered again.

2. 24/24 and (sorry Rich) 3:36 left. I did NOT expect to do well. But all the bands’ pictures were the famous people. And then I just narrowed it down.

   Where’s the picture from?

   • The picture is taken from Sunrise Hut in the Hawkes Bay of New Zealand at dawn. It’s supposed to take 2-3 hours to walk up to the hut but we took longer with our 7-year-old.

     • I know so little about that part of the world I would not know any of that. Not likely I’ll ever get there either as my wife does not like to fly. Six hours to California kills here. 24 hours (or whatever) to fly Down Under would kill her .

       • It’s pretty obscure – not really on the tourist trail since it involves needing gear and a hike up a big hill.

         • It exhausts me just thinking about it.

3. 24/24, but with 2:53 left, so I’m not even in the running…

   • Yup, I was happy with my 2:30 remaining, but everyone has been blitzing it.

4. Only 23/24 this week after doing so well last week. I messed up on one of the 70s groups.

   • I’m amazed at all the 24s – I thought it was still relatively difficult.

5. The Jam – “nerd fodder” – Heaven help us ! The first and only time I hope ever to hear The Jam/Paul Weller and the word “nerd” used in the same context!

   Oh, I got 23/24 due to a bit of inspired guesswork with the more contemporary (or dare I say nerdy) ones 🙂

   • The Jam aren’t nerdy, but if you’re not from the UK and/or over 50, you probably need to be a music nerd to seek them out. I’ve never heard them on the radio or heard anyone talk about them in real life.

     • Fair point.

6. Darn it 21/24…not bad, but not great either.

   • There were a lot of high scores this week – 21 is still respectable.

7. May I all a brief respectful period of thought for the great, great Ronnie Spector, who passed away yesterday, aged 78. One of THE great female voices.

   “She was filled with love and gratitude. Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her.” So say her family and that is how I always perceived her. She will be missed.

   • Yup, ‘Be My Baby’ is a contender for my favourite song ever.

8. SCORE Score
   24/24
   TIMER Timer
   02:41 4 educated guesses…but it turned out great!

   Awesome picture Graham.

   • Sounds like some good guessing skills!

9. 24 / 24 with 3:20 left – some familiar faces, some faces from the dartboard and a bit of process of elimination

   • Perfect score! I was familiar with most of them this week, compared to the others.

10. 23/24. That was the easiest one so far. But then I got down to the end and only had one left to go. But somehow I got it wrong. How could you get it wrong if there’s only one left?? I was up to 23 then something must have went wrong. That really burns my ass cuz I wanted to have a perfect score. The only one that I didn’t know is Lake Street or something like that. And I wasn’t quite sure about Arcade Fire but I guessed right.

    • I didn’t know Lake Street Dive either, but got it by elimination.

11. 24/24 with 2:29 left! Psyched with the perfect show although seems alot of follks got it this week. Combo of knowing, educated guessing and some luck.
    That’s an awesome pic – at first I wasn’t sure if the white was clouds or surf, I’m assuming the former, which makes it even more amazing.
    Reminds me of my honeymoon where we drove up to the summit of the Haleakala crater in Maui in Hawaii in middle of night for the sunrise and then biked down. Besides the awesome sunrise, my other memory was that the van driver who drove us up was a dead ringer for the Skipper from GIlligans Island. 🙂

    • You were a second slower than me!

      Your honeymoon sounds awesome.

      • Yeah it was pretty close to perfect. – coming up on 25 years ago at this point 😀

        • Congratulations. We move past the 13th year in a couple of months.

          • Nice!!

12. Beautiful sunset! I got 63%, which 15/24 with 2:33 left. These quizzes are fun, thanks so much!

    • Thanks for playing!

      • No problem! Keep doing what you do!

13. 21/24 with 1:43 left Nice vaca pic!

    • Good work and thank you for admiring my photo.

      • Thanks and you’re welcome 🙂

14. 22 – 18 were sure things and then 4 out of 6 on guesses, I’ll take that guessing percentage!

    • Yup, sounds like some good guessing.

15. A lot of unknown groups / artists for me in there. Can’t say I did too well. =P

    • Thanks for playing anyway! I’ve been working through them backwards and I think they’re getting easier.

16. 22/24 3:22 to go. What’s a Lake Street Drive?

    • I didn’t know either.

      • Quite a name, like, pick which it is… is it a lake? A street? A drive? May as well be Pond Boulevard Avenue.

        • Puddle Road Jump
