Music Quiz: Picture This Classic Rock Songs

28 Comments

1. Well, you must be a genius because A) I ran out of time and 2) I got 8/15. I found this impossibly hard. It took me a minute or two to make the connection to the pictures and even when I did I wasn’t always sure what the picture was portraying. I know all the songs to a greater or lesser degree; the couple that I don’t like I would never have gotten. Among other things, my brain is baked from playing Wordle I’m afraid.

   • We like Wordle in my household too. I am pretty safety first and usually get it in 4 or 5 guesses.

     • I’m in that range as well. You really need a good first word. I’m challenging myself to see if I can get it between 3 and 4.

       • We usually use “Brace” – I got my first two the other day because it was “black”.

         • I use a couple of different ones just to shake it up.

2. That was quite a challenge but I fared pretty well with 12/15, and after seeing the ones I missed I should have gotten 14. I hope you’ll post more of these in the future. Good call on Marillion and great song choice. I’ve been a fan since the mid-’80s and love both incarnations of the band.

   • You’re winning so far. I would have picked you as the Marillion fan out of the regular quiz contestants.

   • Actually, I commented on your Marillion post a few years ago so maybe I subconsciously remembered that.

3. I thought this was pretty difficult, and only got 11/15.

   • 11 is the second highest score so far.

     • Wouldn’t it be 3rd highest after yours and Rich K’s?

       • I don’t count myself!

4. 6/15 and ran out of time

   • Thanks for playing!

     • My pleasure, Graham 🙂

5. Maybe it’s been a long day but geez… 10/15

   • 10 is a pretty decent score I think.

6. I wasn’t good at this one at all. 7/15.

   • Thanks for playing anyway.

7. I got 12/15. The ones that I didn’t get I wouldnt have guessed in a gazillion years. If I ever did know the words to the Def Lepard and U2 songs I’ve certainly forgotten them by now.

   • I actually really like Pour Some Sugar On Me, but I have no idea about the verse lyrics.

     • Same here. Now I remember that the third one I got wrong with Thriller, which doesn’t surprise me because I never liked it. But you’d think I would have at least recognized it considering how many times I heard it on the radio. I guess I just forgot the words to it.

       • I found Thriller not too hard – it has a vocabulary around beasts and midnight that’s not present in many pop hits.

         • Sometimes those picture clues weren’t much of a help . There was one that was supposed to be a beast or a monster I guess, but I thought it was a bear. So I kept trying to think of songs that mentioned bears. ha ha

         • I mainly did it from the supplied words when I could.

8. That was brilliant though I only hit 13 and would never have got the two (DefLep and Springfield) even with another hour and bucket of coffee.

   • You would have won if you’d got your entry in on time! There’s a new one since.

     • My reader isn’t giving me the good stuff on time. I was counting on that prize money too
