Hello folks! After the big success of my previous post with the Prog-quiz, here's one more for you!  Ok, this time it's not about Progressive Rock only, but about Rock in general. I think it's less mind-breaking than the other one, and it's surely more fun! So, here's the deal: It has about 30 questions (if I remember well), and on each question you see a pictute of a band. Next to the picture there are the names of 5 bands and you should pick the right one. That's it! And at the end of course you can see your score. It sounds very easy, but in some cases is rather tricky It kind of requires general knowledge in Rock music, and not in some precific category though. I uploaded a small post about it on my blog, and there you can find the link in order to try it if you want. you can check it here: http://gfreedomathina.blogspot.gr/2014/05/guess-band-photo-quiz.html" rel="nofollow - http://gfreedomathina.blogspot.gr/2014/05/guess-band-photo-quiz.html I hope you'll find it interesting and enjoyable. Good Luck!  ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well. You are most welcome!

My exact score as well, and probably for the same reason, way outside my listening circle.

If you are reffering to another quiz I posted a few days ago, then no. It's not the same quiz. The other one was 100% Progressive, and this one is about Rock in general. ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

| I scored a whopping 15% with no guessing. Most of those pics look like MTV acts, not rock bands. And Davy Jones? Really? The three I got correct only serve to reveal my age. |

I seem to be at the top of the game here at 85%. Definitely a rocker. The ones I missed were all punkers, so I don't really care, although I correctly identified The Ramones. The 80s were strongly represented, too much so. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Epic fail for me too. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Another epic fail. Only 9 good answers. It seems that the visual aspect of rock is not my cup of tea, especially when the focus is on some genres with which I am not so deeply involved. -------------

85 not bad, many were a process of elimination as I knew who they weren't, kind of surprised I didn't recognize Cliff Burton ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

I got 70% (with a few guesses) and it said I'm "not an actual rocker". The impertinence! Would have been more accurate to say "not an 80s hair metaller." ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

Yes, same here. but it's not about liking them. It's about knowing them.
