Music Quiz: Pick the Debut Album

Congratulations to Rich from KamerTunesBlog, who scored the only 30/30 in last week’s quiz.

    Again…she put together a heck of a band. I’m listening to them as much as her.

  2. I got 15/20 with 1:30 left. It was a bit confusing when some artists chose to use their actual name for their debut album title, while others didn’t. Thanks for the quiz!
