  1. I probably would have gone the more popular route with this quiz, but it is nice to see some indies in there.

  2. 60%. I got all the old ones, and only one of the new ones. “New” meaning in the last 15 years! It figures.

  3. Probably would be a better quiz with songs that everybody knows. Some lesser known songs and lesser known bands on this one turned me off.

  4. 70%! Not bad for an old fogey who didn’t even recognize a fair number of the song choices.

  5. 3 out of 10…not great. Didn’t help that I didn’t recognize a lot of the artists. Guess I need to start listenting to more music.

  6. I agree that more popular songs would have been a better quiz. I did get 5 out of 10.

  7. Thanks for the feedback guys! I’ll try to make the next one easier. Thing is though, you don’t get much more mainstream than The Police, but only %27 got that one right. It’s hard call because you don’t want to make it too easy.

  8. I missed 2. A big surprise cuz I don’t know of some of the bands – like all the other commenters. I think we all get The Police but Café Tacuba, Nick Drake, Spoon and The Shins…?

  9. I guess I did well with 70%…In most cases, I could tell by looking at the choices that were given for answers and know whether I would know the song or not. I thought the different genres and obscurity of some of the bands and some of the songs added a nice touch to the quiz. Good one!

  10. 60%! Better than I thought I did. :) Sadly, I can pick out a Madonna song in 2 seconds…

  11. LOL I got 9 out of 10 and was shocked to say the least (at my monkey wasn’t)

    I guess well…I did like the intro to the Flaming Lips song. I’m going to check them out.
