Welcome back for another week of quizzing. I thought we’d take a break from album sorting. Your challenge this week is to name the albums, musical terms, artists, and other ephemera starting with D.

I scored 16/20, although I missed one gimme. Can you beat me?
Congratulations to Tony, who top-scored last week with 16/18.
The rock world lost a couple of drummers this week. Jamie Muir, who played wild percussion in my favourite King Crimson era died aged 82. And The Jam’s Rick Bucker passed away at 69. Buckler emailed me years ago, on the original version of this site:
Here he is on ‘Funeral Pyre’. The Jam weren’t normally a post-punk band, so Buckler and Foxton’s playing here is impressive:

Tough one 8/20! Still fun….
Thanks for playing, good job.
18/20… The two I missed were the musical notes/symbols. That’s cool you got a shout out from Rick Buckler (RIP)
I thought those were tough – I missed both, and I was good at theory as a kid. The dotted one was pretty stupid.
17/20 for me. Missed the musical notes as well and couldn’t spell that one instrument so ran out of time LOL!!
Great job, you’re winning so far.
Oops, sorry, UK #1s blog got 18.
I didn’t think it would hold! LOL!
I got Score
16/20 I got one of the music notes (I never have read music) and that was a surprise. The mf > p I thought I knew…but I most certainly didn’t…I was thinking dynamic. Good one today.
I thought that the other music notes question was pretty vague and stupid – I was super good at theory when I was a kid, but didn’t get it.
But good score.
For some odd reason I got that one…I also missed DJ….I just didn’t get it.
13/20. The pop-up ads blocking the quiz are irritating. I guessed “denotes” on the one thing. I should have known Dr. Dre. It’s always sad when the world loses a drummer. They are a particular kind of beast, the heart of any band’s music.
Good job! I hope you haven’t watched Spinal Tap – you might find the drummer carnage hard to take….
Thanks, Graham.
Saw it once, way back when. I remember finding the whole movie hard to take. I know I’m swimming against the stream…
17/20 – didn’t know the musical symbols or the photo of the person working a console.
Great work!
18/20 here, failed my musical theory
I think one of those theory questions was pretty stupid….
