Weekly Music Quiz: California Bands by Album

Jim S narrowly beat EclecticMusicLover in last week’s ‘Got’ Song Titles quiz.

This week, you need to link the Californian bands with their albums. Remember you can skip ahead if there’s a band you’re not very familiar with.

I scored 36/36 with 3:27 remaining, despite having to guess a little at the end between Journey and some of Green Day’s more obscure records. Can you beat my time?

    • Yeah, I’ve done some of their other quizzes and sometimes am weirded out by the band they choose to feature 8 albums from. There’s a later one in the series with 8 Weezer albums and 2 Creedence albums – I like Weezer but a lot of my affection rests on their first two, while Creedence pumped out a lot of great music in their first few years.
