Music Quiz Time!

How well have you been following the music news? Take the FOR A SONG challenge and find out!

No cheating, no web sites, no asking Rich. Or Risch. Or anyone else.


EA's Pop Music Quiz #1

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Why do I take these quizzes?

I suck. Even in the category I thought I'd do well at. But then again, I've never cared much for "statistics" type of things. Billboard is definately one of those things.

I finally got to take one that I didn't create!

The bad news is, my score is abysmal. I know nothing about music. I'll make AngelEyes take it later and see how she does.

I'm glad this is currently ranked as the hardest quiz. Makes me feel better about my score.

Well, I knew one answer (I heard that he checked into rehab and, yes, I've actually heard of him before) and managed to pick up 2 others by wild guessing.

I had never even heard of the vast majority of the answers. No educated guessing here, just dart throwing.

I'm thrilled to have gotten a 5, but 3 of those correct answers were just dumb luck. At least I scored above average!

Oh man. I knew exactly one of these answers. The other correct answer was an eeny meeny situation.

I never heard of most of the artists/works mentioned.

Wake me up next decade, okay?

Alright, I had actually heard of every one of those artists, but still only managed to get 4! That was a pretty tough quiz!

I think I'm too compulsive of a newsreader/'Fresh Pick of the Week" watcher. If I got 8 out of 10 right, does that mean I need a life? I don't even like pop music!
