Music Quiz: Famous Trios

25 Comments

1. Oh boy, I found that quiz very easy except for the band from the late-’90s with a number in their name, but it eventually came to me so I got 18/18 with 0:37 left on the clock. I own albums by 15 of these artists which might account for my score.

   • I missed the number one, but I’ve never liked them. It was obvious they were a punk-ish band from the late 1990s or early 2000s, just from the way they looked….

2. I got 12 out of 18 but really 14 out of 18 as I forgot “The” on Dixie Chicks and misspelled Jimi. Ones wrong: Destiny’s Child, Motorhead (I know how could I have missed it!), Blink 182, and Los Lonely Boys.

   • Great work! Normally it lets you just type in the last word, but I had to type in all of “Jimi Hendrix Experience”.

     • Thanks! I’ll remember that about the last word.

3. 16/18 for me. Of the two I missed, I should’ve gotten one and the other, no idea.

   • The Texan rock and roll trio that formed in 1996 seem like easily the most obscure band on the list (if that’s the one you missed)

     • Pretty sure you’re right there.

4. 16/18 the two I’ve heard of but know nothing about…one of them you do with your eyes.

   • I was quite happy with myself not getting the eye one – never cared for them.

5. 13/18. Plus it told me You’re so money and you don’t even know it. I should have gotten those three ladies but those damn pictures were pretty small. Likewise those three guys with the famous drummer.

   • I’m short sighted so small pictures plays right into my hands!

6. 15/18 – I don’t know two of the groups (the one with the felines in its names and the Spanish group) and the other one, I knew of the group but couldn’t recognise them (the two beards).

   • Yeah, I think those two are the obscure ones. As you may have heard, the guy without a beard has the last name Beard.

7. Same score as you, honoured host. 15 (but very quickly!)

   • Maybe I should start giving out bonus points for everyone who calls me “honoured host”….

     • Excellent plan.

8. 13 for me

   • Thanks for joining in!

9. 18 of 18 with 1:14 left. It took me a minute to dig deep in the brain to remember one of their names otherwise the score would’ve been much faster.

   • Great work – you’re looking good for the win this week, although Tony hasn’t entered yet.

10. 17 – perhaps 17.3333333 as I knew the last band had ‘los’ somewhere in the name but couldn’t recall the full thing!

    • I don’t think Sporcle does decimal points! But good effort anyway.

11. 15 of 18, just like our esteemed host. 🙂 :). like others, missed the obscure band from Teas, the one with the number in the name and then blanked on Beyonce’s former group. Thanks as always

    • I missed the rockabilly one from the 1980s, but got Beyonce.
