21 Comments

1. 23

   • Good work!

2. Hey, now. Thanks for throwing me a bone on this one. 25/25. As a guitarist, I could not afford to NOT get these. There were three I could not place and just started throwing out names and they landed.

   • I’m holding out for the “Mediocre Keyboard Players” quiz….

3. I got 21 almost immediately and then scratched my head for the next three minutes. With a few different song titles I could have easily gotten the other 4 but it’s still a respectable score for a drummer.

   • Yes, does sound respectable for a drummer.

4. Pretty much the same story as Rich (except for the drummer part). Peeved I didn’t get #8.
   And where was Frank Zappa, eh?

   • Zappa’s at number 27, so almost made the list. I would have assumed he’d be too niche to do well in a community generated list.

5. 20 for me. Ran out of time because I couldn’t spell some of the names.

   • It’s a grey area, but I think if you can’t spell something on sporcle, it’s ok to ask google.

     • I did ask google when I got to less than a minute, but she wasn’t fast enough to help me do better. 🙂

6. 21, well, 20 and one lucky guess.

   • They all count. Lots of 21s this week.

7. 25 / 25 – a couple of those I only knew thanks to Jim at Music Enthusiast

   • Maybe we should all study his site some more before next week….

8. 22/25

   • Good first up effort!

9. I can’t compete with these other scores. I managed 11/25

   • I’m pretty unknowledgeable about early rock and roll, and about guys like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, so I struggled at times.

10. 17 of 25 then was drawing blanks. I also didn’t like having to try to spell. 🙂 Had to go to Google a few times

    • Yes, I need to google spellings sometimes too.
