There were plenty of healthy scores in last week’s hard-to-Google band quiz – noone’s score could be described as “paltry”, “meagre”, or “meager”. EclecticMusicLover and Tony both scored 17/18.
This week’s quiz is surprisingly tough. The median score is only 50%, and it includes obscure records by acts like Badfinger, Todd Rundgren, and Kansas. You need to match an album cover to another from the same artist.

I scored 17/20, although I should have scored 18 – I got muddled between my Southern rock bands.
Can you beat my score?
Here’s a song from an album cover on the quiz – Todd Rundgren with a surprisingly glitzy version of ‘Parallel Lines’.

10/20, 2:56 left. Many of the ones I did get were wild guesses.
Good work.
15/20 :31 left
Great work, much stronger than the Sporcle average.
Thanks, G. I recognized most of them, but the rest I compared artistic style — and guessed right on many of them.
18/20. I got a good time though 3:36. How come it didn’t give the answers at the end? Doesn’t it usually? I still don’t know what one of them is that I got wrong. I know the other one I got wrong was Little Feat, I think. But the other one didn’t even look familiar at all. Otherwise it was easy as pie. I was plowing through them really fast.
Everything is images so it can’t really show the answers. If you click view results it shows you. I had no idea what Kansas record covers look like.
Actually I got 3:36 LEFT on the time.
15/20 with 3:27 left…
Good work!
19/20…. not bad but I guessed wrong on the one I didn’t know.
19 is impressive.
I missed on the DS album…I couldn’t believe it. The colors.
I missed the Allmans (sorry). I do know that record, just got mixed up at a pivotal time.
Some were very easy but some I almost picked the wrong one.
16/20 yeah…that one had some really hard moments and crappy guesses!! LOL!
16 is pretty solid – the Sporcle average is 10.
Yes but I would guess most of us know a little more than the average person when it comes to music.
At least about 1970s classic rock.
A measly 14/20. There was an Allmans on there???
Eat a Peach was a dummy answer – I got them mixed up with another band.
Only 13/20 for me
Good work, and you tied for the win last week.
Oh yes! I am the man!
I … AM …. THE … MAN !!!!
🙂
20/20
Boom!
Incidentally, Graham, how do you “like” a comment on your site? There doesn’t seem to be an option?
I turned it off as I was having problems with it at the time. I guess I could turn it back on, but seems like one more thing to check up on.
This one was right in my wheelhouse. An easy 20/20 with 3:50 left on the clock. They did a great job with the four album covers in each clue. I hope there’s more of these quizzes in the future.
I think that’s the only one in the series, sadly. But great work.
