Weekly Music Quiz: Band by Setlist III

Congratulations again to Jim, who won this site’s Sporcle challenge for the second week running.

The very first Sporcle challenge that I laid down on this website was Band by Setlist I – only two people entered, and both of them also entered last week’s quiz. More than five years later, it’s time for Band by Setlist III. Please note that there are a few solo artists in there, despite the title….

I scored 20/20 with 4:57 remaining – can you beat my time? There’s a diverse range of artists, so it’s a fun one.

  1. I happily relinquish my throne. I knew early on that this wasn’t gonna work out. Some of those songs resonated with me exactly zero. 15/20 although there was one I missed that I should have gotten.

  2. Fun quiz. I could only get 18/20 before giving up. Although I know who the artists I missed are, I never would have gotten them. Funny how it’s called “Bands by Setlist” but at least three are solo pop artists. Glad I knew who they were.

    • You’re the equal leading challenger still. I put the solo note in for later contestants (although the cover image of Mr John is a bit of a hint).

  3. 16/20 I kind of thought that the one was Maroon 5 but I didn’t want to put it cuz I wasn’t sure. That was so stupid, but I forgot it was the kind of game where It doesn’t end If you guess wrong.

    • I think the toughest ones were from the early 21st century – makes it a bit easy for younger contestants.

  4. Only SCORE
    17/20
    TIMER
    00:00 And I now know I have a problem spelling Osbourne….and Beastie is NOT Bestie lol

  5. 20/20 with just 30 seconds left thanks to a massive guess or two – thankfully wrong answers don’t end it on this one – and spotting the single song on some that I could identify

    • Great work – I think the quiz is a bit easier for our demographic since the more obscure choices are from the late 1990s/early 2000s.
