60's & 70's prog rock band quiz

I not even going to humor the "deserves more attention" comment :|

I got 62% It prolly woulda been higher if a) I recognized all the non-English titles; might know the music but the titles didn't ring a bell. b) it accepted 'Il Balleto di Bronzo' as an answer; was about 99% sure that was the correct answer but it was not accepted.

Anyway, here is the quiz. I got about maybe 25 of them but then the timer ran out. See how you guys do. Unfortunately I wasn't able to add the hyper link so you'll need to copy and paste. It's not that hard to do. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Turamarth/100-progressive-rock-bands Ageist BS, wonderful. Anyway, 45/100. Far too much Italian prog on there, I missed 5 or 6 trying to get the spelling right, there was a few others that I couldn't recall the names of (Traffic for one, kept trying to put in Triumvirate for some reason). A lot of obscure stuff on there as well (T2?), I;d be surprised if their were many people that could score over 70.

Mostly prog, but I've created a few quizzes on that site if anyone is interested in playing them.

Also, 24/100

0 / 100 damn

14 out of 100. Some of it was not Prog. I got Golden Earring right, and I like the band, but it's not Prog. I missed Spiro Gyra. They're a jazz band from my hometown, but they're not Prog. It's questionable how much they're even fusion, because it was so weak on the rock side of the ledger and was the reason a couple band members broke off to form Gamelon, which was a real kick ass fusion band in the 80s. I missed Traffic because I could only think of Steve Winwood at the time and not the band name. I should have gotten Atoll. I'd been listening to it enough lately, but I just plain missed it. I missed Soft Machine and all the other Canterbury bands except Gong. I listen to them without any regard to the song titles. I just play the music. On the other hand, others I've never gotten around to, like Goblin and Amon Duul and so on.

42. Damned those Italian and French band names!

37

I got 61 out of 100. I would have gotten 62 but couldn't think of Quella Vechia Locanda in time. I knew the band but couldn't quite think of their name. I have to admit this is the second time I took it. The only one I remembered though was Steel Mill so if you guys want to deduct one point from me I'm ok with that. Lol.

Yep. Different band but their name sounds the same.
