Congratulations to Geoff () and Jim () who both scored 18/20 last week. This week’s challenge is to insert the missing food or drink: I don’t think it’s super tricky, but it’s pretty and covers lots of musical ground.
Germany’s Can were too ahead of their time, and too weird, to enjoy a hit record, but they were hugely influential; for instance, when Radiohead ditched guitar rock in favour of more experimental work, Can were one of the bands…
Congratulations to J () who scored 20/20 in 1:42 on naming rock albums from the 1990s. Rich and Geoff also scored perfect marks, but not quite so quickly. This week’s challenge is to name the classic rock song in other…
For some reason I never found Aretha Franklin’s original studio albums in second-hand bins, and for years the only album I owned from her was a double disc retrospective. The second disc dabbles in her 1980s work, with star power…
Congratulations to Stephen1001 () for scoring 19/20 in last week’s music quiz, and nailing the very cryptic clue for ‘Dear Prudence’. This week’s game is simple – name the album from the back cover. The artist name is also acceptable.…
Vigilantes of Love took their name from the New Order song ‘Love Vigilantes’. The band hailed from Athens, Georgia, a city with rich pop music heritage; in all honesty they’d probably struggle to break onto a list of greatest musical…
Welcome to this week’s Music Quiz, the 11th in this series. Congratulations to Rich of for his perfect score last week. This week a bunch of Beatles’ song titles have been translated through Babelfish with some unusual results – can…
Can you name the famous musician whose initials are starred in the clue? I like this quiz as it covers a lot of musical ground. I scored a 19, but I’m sure someone here can get to the full…
I’ve been covering Pavement’s albums over the last week or so – revisiting their five albums has helped me to appreciate them more, and how full of ideas their albums are. They’re definitely a strong contender for the best guitar…
I know this is usually a music blog, and apologies to my regular readers for the change in topic today – this is just a one-off. I’m hardly qualified to be a political commentator but wanted to vent a little.…
Can you link the song titles to the literal band images? It’s relatively straightforward, but I thought it was a well executed and fun idea. I scored 100%, but you can try and beat my time of 1 minute…
Right now, I have created 63 artist pages on this blog, and 59 of them are white. Two of the four non-white artists covered are relatively obscure New Zealand acts. And here’s a random selection of ten songs that my…
