Last week lots of people scored a perfect 30/30 in the 1980s lyric quiz – congratulations to Rich Kamerman with the fastest recorded time.
This week, Jim was interested in a blues quiz. The best I could find was this quiz of early influences in the rock and roll hall of fame.

I scored an embarrassing 11/31 (below the median!). I’m sure other contestants will demolish my score – I’m not very well versed in pre-rock and roll.
How did you get on?

A truly awful showing from me this week, with 13/30…even though I know just about every name in this quiz. Sadly my brain wasn’t accessing most of them. In bowling terms, it’s like a had a spare last week and followed it with a gutter ball. Oh well. At least I was reminded of some CDs I need to take off the shelves & give a spin soon.
You’re the second highest of four so far!
I didn’t do great but I knew more than I thought…I guess it paid off watching all of the music docs…
SCORE
21/31
Sounds like a good score to me!
I missed the quiz when it came around. just took it. you and i tied for first!
Cool Jim! I have watched a lot of documentaries and that is where I remembered some of them.
Yeah, me too. I’ve probably read more books than watched documentaries. I’m kicking myself that I missed Jimmie Rodgers and Pete Seeger. But you really had to dig deep in the archives for that one.
Yea I’ve read a few about 60s British rock bands like The Beatles…Their influences is where I got some. Yea some of those questions were down right hard. Seeger I got because of the connection to Dylan.
This one was a good challenge.
Yea. Frustrating too because I was so close sometimes
10/30 – yeah, my knowledge to early influences isn’t as strong as 60s music onwards.
Looks like that’s the case for a lot of contestants.
I will skip this one as not my cup of tea. I barely knew anything and just gave up.
8 – not exactly a score to print out & proudly display on the family refrigerator!
Maybe next week you can print out a fridge decoration?
Hopefully – at least 8/31 is still a better % showing than the 11/70 Dire Straits score, that one will be tough to beat!
Matched you – a measly 11. also not as knowledgeable about the origins as I would like.
I missed Robert Johnson (I totally knew who he was, but got mixed up), which was embarrassing.
Gonna take my 9/30 and slink away quietly
It was a weird week.
21/31 Missed a couple I should have had. Recognized most of the names but didn’t always know their ‘title. Oh well.
Assumed you’d do well!
