Try your luck at these, I got 27 out of 30. Don't look at the comments section in YouTube as a lot of my answers are there, including the wrong ones.

^That's impressive. Alas, I only knew 10, and some of them were lucky guesses.

10 for me also: Caravan and Univers Zero because I recognized the song; Guapo, Koenjihyakkei, Magma, Acid Mothers Temple, Soft Machine, Thinking Plague and Le Silo because I recognized the musicians; Gong because I recognized both.

If someone who posts here doesn't recognise Vander by sight or sound, I'd be very disappointed. I only skimmed through, but will give it my focus at some time perhaps. I'd rather try it blind.

I'll post the answers in a week or 2. I got 3 wrong, one of which was pretty unforgivable as I've bought a couple of their albums after seeing them at RIO.

Hmm, nice quiz, but I'm not necessarily in my comfort zone, here. Those I recognize are (I think): Secret Chiefs 3, Univers Zero, Magma, Gong, Soft Machine, Present and Art Zoyd. The latter being privileged with a longer excerpt... So, if I'm not mistaken, that makes 7 out of 30. And, honestly, according to those snippets - which are obviously not representative - I'm not incited to better my score...
