Welcome back to another week of quizzing.
Can you link ten rock songs to the correct artists? It sounds easy, but I had to guess a few.

I scored 9/10. Can you score a perfect 10?
Congratulations to NostalgicItalian, who scored a very impressive 106/109 in last week’s quiz.
Did you know that Ian Anderson claims to have written the first song about climate change?
This was my first song talking about the issue of ecology and, in this specific case, climate change. Back in those days, scientists believed that we were heading towards a period of global cooling, that we could be heading towards a new ice age. And in fact, they realized that in fact, no, we’re heading toward a period of global warming. So my song became kind of redundant. But the idea was sound. And I still have a fondness for it today, because it is talking with optimism about facing the changing world and a changing climate to which we have to adapt, bravely and optimistically. And it feels very apt and appropriate for today

9/10 for me
Great work!
A very easy 10/10 for me with 1:35 left on the clock. All songs & artists (other than Bon Jovi and, to a lesser extent, GnR) were right in my musical wheelhouse.
Great job!
7/10. I love that Tull song, and I can’t disagree it was the first climate change song. Wouldn’t have thought it without Ian’s comment, but still.
I wouldn’t have noticed either. There’s a Robert Fripp song from 1978 that’s much more obvious.
Ouch – 9 out of 10 for me too
A respectable score, methinks.
I do like a quick-draw quiz while full of morning coffee: 10/10 with 1:41 on the clock
Great work!
9/10. I wonder if we missed the same one.
I think I got tangled with Journey and Bon Jovi – I assume you got Bon Jovi?
Yeah. I did. Mine was Floyd and Rush
Sounds like you don’t know that there’s unrest in the forest! There’s trouble with the trees!
10/10! I wasn’t paying attention to the clock! lol
Perfect score though!
Score
10/10
Timer
01:22 This one was a nice quick change.
One song stumped me for some reason so I just went on and it was the process of elimination.
Yeah, sometimes fast is nice. Good job!
7/10 – I made a mess of Journey, GnR and Bon Jovi – so not to unhappy
