1. Wow, that was ridiculously easy. 20/20 with 3:52 left on the clock, and I can only imagine how fast my time would have been if I was using a mouse instead of the track pad.

   • Yup, speed test this week for sure.

2. I got 20/20 with 3:26 to spare. Nice song by Angel Olsen.

   • Good work. I thought that song was lovely.

3. Got ’em all, 3:59 left, though I struggled with John, Paul, George, Ringo. What kind of a name is Ringo?

   • I’m sure you know this already, but he liked to wear a lot of rings. Plus Richard isn’t a very rock star name.

     • That entire statement was a joke. I wonder about you sometimes. You take everything literally.

   • And you have the fastest score so far.

     • Where’s Tony?

       • Probably asleep right now.

4. 19 of 20 with 1:39 minutes left – I suck at these games, as you know. The main reason I’m leaving you this comment is to let you know that you reappeared in my Wordpress feed, which is great!

   • Thanks for letting me know – they said they fixed it, so it’s good people are seeing it now.

5. Quite easy that one, 20/20 w/ 3:28 left. Really like Angel Olsen, have All Mirrors on vinyl.

   • Yup, totally an easy one. I enjoyed All Mirrors a lot, but this seems like an excellent new direction.

6. 20/20 with 2:41 remaining. I was one of those who wasn’t seeing your last bunch of posts. I’m glad to be back in the club.

   • Good work. I think more recent subscribers could see it, but older ones couldn’t.

7. Oh… and I do love me some Angel Olsen.

   • I like the idea of a twangy album from her – she has the voice for it.

   thanks for the quiz!

   • Thanks for playing!

9. 20/20 with 3:46 left on the clock. I’m surprised to see U2 on there as every other act was really well known, I guess they had to throw something obscure in.
   I’ve been enjoying Angel Olsen for a while now and digging the new single too

   • I don’t know which is trickiest – maybe Coldplay or The Bangles, although I think a lot of people could name Chris Martin or Susanna Hoffs.

10. 19/20 for me.

    • Thanks for playing!

    It came down to Blur and Coldplay…I guessed right.

    I’m only having one problem…it’s my own fault. I unfollowed you not long ago because that has worked many times but now…it will not let me refollow you. I’ll keep trying.

    • It’s weird it won’t let you refollow. You know the blog’s normal rhythm – although there’s a bonus April 1 post today.

      • Ok…I’ll take a look. If it doesn’t let me follow soon I’ll open a chat with support.

12. I’m miles behind

13. 20/20. That was real easy and fun.

    • It’s nice to have a breezy one sometimes.

14. 18/20 with 1:35 left. I got down to the final 3 and guessed wrong two or three times which ended the quiz.

    • Thanks for playing!

      • 🙂

15. Sporcle won’t even let me in so I dunno what I’d have got.

    • Weird – did you get an error message?

      • No, it wants me to sign up or something, some splash screen. So I ‘x’ out and try gain, same thing. After three tries I just gave up. Ah well.

        • Oops, I don’t normally get that.

          • No worries, it used to work fine for me too. Ah well!

16. 20 with 3:31 left, I’m pleased knowing 1 name was sufficient on a few of them!

    • Yup, there are a few where it’s mainly the lead singer who’s famous.

17. 20 of 20 with 2:13 left – not the fastest but perfect score – guessed right between blur and coldplay

    • I guess Blur are a little obscure in the US, and Coldplay are a little bit faceless in some ways. Perfect score though!
