Music Quiz: Rock Quartets by First Names

Last week’s quiz about Antonyms was pretty straightforward, with a bunch of 20/20s. Tony was fastest.

This week is another pretty easy one I think – you have the identify the rock quartet by their first names. They’ve largely stuck to uber-popular bands.

I scored 20/20, although I didn’t record my time like I usually do.

If you’ve missed the last few quizzes, I think I’ve had an issue with my posts not appearing the feed for a lot of readers. I think it’s fixed now!

This new Angel Olsen single is lovely – her vocal timbre has always reminded me of late 1950s/early 1960s singers like Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison. This new single fits that vibe more than her previous material has.

    • Yup, totally an easy one. I enjoyed All Mirrors a lot, but this seems like an excellent new direction.

  1. 20/20 with 3:46 left on the clock. I’m surprised to see U2 on there as every other act was really well known, I guess they had to throw something obscure in.
    I’ve been enjoying Angel Olsen for a while now and digging the new single too

    • I don’t know which is trickiest – maybe Coldplay or The Bangles, although I think a lot of people could name Chris Martin or Susanna Hoffs.

  2. SCORE

    It came down to Blur and Coldplay…I guessed right.

    I’m only having one problem…it’s my own fault. I unfollowed you not long ago because that has worked many times but now…it will not let me refollow you. I’ll keep trying.

    • It’s weird it won’t let you refollow. You know the blog’s normal rhythm – although there’s a bonus April 1 post today.

    • I guess Blur are a little obscure in the US, and Coldplay are a little bit faceless in some ways. Perfect score though!
