Music Quiz: Musicians with a US President

42 Comments

1. 27/30. The three I missed I would not recognize if I bumped into them on the street. Do politicians around the world spend as much time with musicians as our presidents do?

   • Good work! Our PM likes to DJ, but she’s half the age of your president.

2. 28/30 with 3:22 left. can’t believe I didn’t recognize one of the 2 I missed!

   • I had no clue on the country ones, generally.

     • I seldom see you falter on these!

       • I’m never as strong on ones that involve recognising people.

3. This one was much easier than last week’s. I got 26 and should’ve gotten two more. Favorite was the photo with the two meat loaves.

   • lol.

   • Two meatheads.

4. 22 of 30. I’m not particularly good when it comes to these types of games. Usually, I don’t even participate!

   • Thanks for playing – you’ve joined me on the lowest score so far, but neither of us grew up in the US.

5. 25/30 for me.

   • Good work!

6. 28 of 30 when time ran out – had no clue on the RFK one, and couldn’t pull up the LBJ one. Fun quiz!

   • I like seeing all the old photos. Great score!

     • Yeah actually surprised myself a bit

7. 28/30. It wasn’t that hard, but I missed Olivia Rodrigo, never heard of her whoever she is, and George Strait, whose face I recognized but couldn’t think of his name.

   • Good score. Olivia Rodrigo released her first album this year – I like a lot of it, songs like ‘Good4U’ and ‘Driver’s License’ are very good.

8. I bested my performance from last week. I got 30/30 with 5:16 left on the clock. Feeling very proud of myself.

   • Ooh, perfect score!

9. SCORE
   28/30 I missed one I knew nothing about and the other I just couldn’t place the name but I knew the face.

   • Good work!

10. 27/30 – only name I didn’t recognise is Strait. I didn’t know some of the faces.

    • I feel like the country ones are tricky for non-Americans.

11. Only 18. I failed to guess one famous Long Islander I really should have known but he had aged. A couple of them I had genuinely never heard of, particularly the one who looked like tennis legend Rod Laver.

    • That was a pretty recent photo of Billy Joel. Apparently he liked to ride past Donald Trump while giving the finger.

12. 29/30 and then the damn site malfunctioned and I never got to guess the one I missed because it started over and I wasn’t going through it again. I am not sure i would’ve guessed that one as it was hard.

    • Good work!

    • Don’t you hate that? The site used to malfunction on me all the time when I was using a phone, but now that I got a laptop it doesn’t happen anymore

      • I was on a desktop, it shouldn’t have had any issues. But I do hate that!!

13. 26/30 with 3:52 left

    • Solid score!

14. She does?

    • And her fiance hosts a fishing show.

      • That’s one strange country. You should emigrate to the US where everyone is normal!

15. I got 19/30. I thought I was going to worse to be honest, lol.

    • Thanks for playing! I think you’re a bit younger than most of the contestants, which is probably a disadvantage for this.

      • Yeah, that’s true! I’m lucky I knew who The Carpenters were.

16. 26/30, it was going well until it went country 😅

    • I found that too!

17. 30/30 with 3:48 remaining

    • Ooh, same winners as last week.
