23/40... got the entire right column except Tommy Page. Only got MJ, Stevie Wonder, Lulu, and Lesley gore on the other column. So bad at remembering who sang those oldies I've heard a bajillion times.

Yeah, I doubt I would've gotten too many of those, either.

ha I think I did a little better on the early stuff

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link

30/40. Got 'em all up to the Bobby Brown era, spotty on stuff thereafter (other than ubiquitous Britney songs.)

This was fun, I got 15 in about 2 minutes then got bored.

Haha, glad it was good for two minutes of fun, anyway, before the ennui set in!

Damn! 35/40 and I got the first name of one right (of a dude born the same exact day as me). Fun.

23/40; good quiz, jaymc

Thanks! Someone pointed out that I forgot to include another song. :/

You guys'll do better than average on this:

I only got 7, but there were a few D'OH! moments when the answers came up.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 16:12 (thirteen years ago) link

Bah, only 6.

That one that requires "and the xxxx" after the name is kinda not fair.

Overblown 80's Gated Snore (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 16:46 (thirteen years ago) link

This is one of the hardest you've done. I only got 6.

Eric H., Tuesday, 21 September 2010 16:50 (thirteen years ago) link

xp Sorry about that. For the album title A B and the C, I'd set it to accept "A B and the C," "B," and "C," but not "A B." Fixed now.

I feel quite chuffed at getting 8 then but this was tough

Mo Tucker Mo Problems (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 18:13 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, I guess I wouldn't have gotten much more than that myself, had I not created the quiz, but I also don't think I chose any albums that were too obscure.

jaymc, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link

Nah there were a couple more I felt I shoulda got, it was a fair quiz.

Mo Tucker Mo Problems (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 18:40 (thirteen years ago) link

I got eight as well.

Mark G, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link

7, there were a few more I should have got. Good quiz!

seven years pass...

Harnessing the power of the collective…

ILM please help me solve the following:

B = ADB, SAD, WWB
D = IR, UB, VOTD
L = S, S, S
Z = ABOD, GOS, SC

The initial letters are all popular musical acts with a single word name (no definite article in front), could be any genre or any era. The initials after the equals sign are albums released by said act.

Example:
A = GAG, R, TITA (Aerosmith = Get A Grip, Rocks, Toys In The Attic)

We've solved the other 22 letters of the alphabet, it's just the four above we're stuck on) but if you're bored I can post the whole quiz.

B is Boyzone (A Different Beat, Said and Done, Where We Belong)

Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Sunday, 31 December 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link

It's probably cheating, but if you Google VOTD (as I did) you can probably solve D. These are hard!

eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Sunday, 31 December 2017 16:02 (six years ago) link

I should have got Dragonforce! Thanks, both.

Jeff W, Sunday, 31 December 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link

Went the Google route to solve D. I'd never even heard of them, so I don't fancy my chances with L or Z.

Dan Worsley, Sunday, 31 December 2017 16:19 (six years ago) link

Found Z. A German hard rock band of recent vintage. There's a much better Russian space disco act with the same name.

Jeff W, Sunday, 31 December 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link

No wait, the disco act were from what's now Latvia, not Russia (sorry).

Jeff W, Sunday, 31 December 2017 17:44 (six years ago) link

L should be easy.. S, s, s

Nope

Mark G, Sunday, 31 December 2017 23:55 (six years ago) link

Lush: Scar, Spooky and Split, perhaps? Does Scar count as an album?

Jeff W, Monday, 1 January 2018 13:00 (six years ago) link

Led Zeppelin S/T I, II & III ;)
