Music Quiz: Rock Sub-Genres

1. Had to give up after getting 42/50. I probably should have remembered a few others but I’m happy with my results. I agree about that posthumous release. As for the Jagger album, I haven’t seen that cover but I’ve heard the album, and I would say the music is what impacted sales. Not a good one from Mick, although he later redeemed himself with the wonderful Wandering Spirit.

   • I think 42 is a pretty good score. I barely know Jagger’s solo stuff – I mainly remember the incredulity over the 5 star Rolling Stone Goddess in the Doorway review.

2. 32/50. The ones I didn’t get I’d never get.

   • 32/50 was Music Enthusiast BTW. Not sure why it grabbed my email address. Phone thing.

     • Cool – thanks for playing!

3. 20/50 and I think that’s pretty good. So hideous that album cover. Agree with Rich on Wandering Spirit.

   • Yeah, I think it was a tough quiz this week.

4. 31/50 for me. Pretty happy with that

   • Yup, good effort – there’s a bigger range of scores than usual this week.

     • It was a tough one. A wide range of genres too.

       • I thought the Hendrix one was super obscure.

5. I could have sworn that Mick Jagger album had a different cover than that one. Maybe there’s an alternative cover or something

   • I hope there is!

6. I got 39. I did bad on those heavy metal ones and for some reason it wouldn’t take AC/DC for an answer ,but isn’t that who did Highway to Hell? I could have swore it was . But it wouldn’t take that answer. I guess that was the wrong answer

   • Sounds correct. Just depends on who makes the quiz and how they format it. 39 is a good score. Have you made any more quizzes lately?

     • I never thought of just typing acdc without the slash or uncapitalized, but the slash is just so much a part of the way you spell AC/DC. I’ve never seen it written otherwise. Whoever made
       that quiz should never have done it like that. nah, I haven’t made any quizzes in about a year or two.

7. I got only 27 out of 50, though I did also guess AC/DC and Sly & the Family Stone, but apparently didn’t enter the names in the way the quiz wanted. The rest I had no clue of.

   • I don’t know what was up with the AC/DC, but with the Sly and the Family Stone I think you had to spell out the “and” instead of using the symbol. Cuz I got it right doing it that way.

     • Yeah, I normally avoid symbols – I’d just type acdc. I don’t really use the & either.

   • I guess that counts as 29, good effort.

8. 47 with a minute and a half to go. The post-rock messed with me big time.

   • Very good score. I assumed you’d be into post-rock?

     • Not as much as I’d thought! (Love Tortoise, though).

       • Yeah, I think i remember you writing about that year’s ago?

9. I’m shouting about the world outside…. 49/50 (I failed on some funk). It’s great to see some post-rock in there as that’s the quickest I’ve run through a quiz section before and am now gonna spin a few

   • Great work!

10. I am sick and it was too much for me to try in my condition. maybe next week if I’m feeling better.

    • Hope you feel better soon. Is it related to your operation?

      • No, just a virus and bacterial infection at the same time. Real fun!!

11. SCORE
    40/50 I guessed at the heavy metal ones…just typed them in…and the JH one was tough…I missed it.
    Looks like Mick went back to his late sixties days to drag that picture out.

    • They could have gone with Band of Gypsys for funk Hendrix. 40 is a good effort.
