Music Quiz: Albums with Title Tracks Removed

27 Comments

1. 16/24. I recognized songs from just about every album but I didn’t always know the name of the album. And I confused the two albums with a color in them.

   • It’s only just occurred to me that Hendrix has ‘Purple Haze’ and Prince has ‘Purple Rain’ – is there a connection, like a sort of homage?

     • Purple was Prince’s favorite color.

2. SCORE
   21/24 It was easy with the first 3/4 and then the guessing started.

   I couldn’t tell what song it was.

   • Good effort!

3. Only 16/24 for me. You know I seldom do well with album quizzes… And no idea about the Lizzo song.

   • Yeah, we had songs last week, but I get albums is a bit tougher for most contestants.

4. My score of 23/24 should come with an asterisk. I knew 20 of these but with the other three I only knew the artist so I looked up those artists’ discographies. I’ve never been a RHCP fan and those song titles didn’t look familiar, so I was never going to get a perfect score. I’ll let you decide if my score is really 20/24, which I would still be pleased with. As for the Lizzo performance, I’m a lifelong progressive rock fan but that tune isn’t ringing any bells for me.

   • I reckon probably 20 – I think Googling for spelling is fine, but beyond that it’s probably a little sketchy. I recognised the band for the one I missed, but resisted the temptation to Google their album names.

     I don’t really like RHCP either, but that album was big at the time.

     The instrumental music at the start of the clip?

5. Clocking in with 24/24 and 4:48 remaining, really enjoyed this one and that’s not just the coffee talking

   • Ooh, great job. I don’t know NiN very well.

     • Can’t say I know more than a couple of songs, but for the presence of Hurt I wouldn’t have gotten that one

6. So many brain farts. I knew the album but the name escaped me on a lot of these. There were about 4-5 I would’ve never gotten. I gave up at 10/24 as time was running out.

   • Thanks for playing!

7. 13/24 some of the missed couldn’t remember album title, some I had no clue

   • Good work!

     • Thanks!

8. I don’t recognize Lizzo the artist or the song she’s doing, but I admire the larger ladies getting up on the stage and doing their thing. They are role models across the world. Not everyone needs to — nor should — look like a supermodel.

   • I should probably check out her records – I like modern pop/R&B generally, and like the songs I’ve heard.

9. 24/24 with 5:17 left to go! Was a great one, especially for album listeners out there.

   • Great job!

10. 24 with 4:57 remaining – grateful that all the albums were from 2006 or so and before!

    • Great work!

11. I only got 19/24. I couldn’t remember the name of some of them. Even ones I knew like The Strokes and Chili Peppers I couldn’t remember until it was way too late

    • 19 is still pretty good!

12. I didn’t know who did that song in the Lizzo thing. But I’ll tell you I can’t stand her.

    • Have you encountered her music before?
