Any good at music quizzes? Good page here, from Elvis, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Dylan, Springsteen, Janis Joplin and loads of others.

See how many you can score out of 20: This Day in Music Quiz

Disappointing. It could have been a nice idea but it goes off into a lot of bullshit that has nothing to do with music like "how many dates did the Beatles play at the Cavern Club" and "who designed their suits on the cover of... " --- who gives a shit. It's got nothing to do with the music.

A worthy concept, badly done....

I tried the Beatles quiz as they're one of my favorites - and bombed out!

I've written some Beatles quizzes.... here's one...

In the entire released body of released Beatles work (including the Anthology series) there are four different drummers. One is obviously Ringo, the vast majority. One is Andy White, a session drummer hired by George Martin for the album version of "Love Me Do" with Ringo relegated to tambourine. The third drummer is Pete Best, who appears on the early Anthology tracks and was later replaced by Ringo. Who is the fourth drummer?

Spoiler: Answer

Paul McCartney (on Back in the USSR, Glass Onion and Ballad of John and Yoko)

Another:
Who was the only Beatle to never quit the group, even temporarily?

Spoiler: Answer 2

John Lennon (Harrison walked out during Let it Be sessions, Ringo walked out during White Album, McCartney unilaterally declared the group dead)

A third:
It's fairly well known that the working title for "Yesterday", before the lyrics developed, was "Scrambled Eggs" -- what was the original working title of Lennon's song "It's Only Love"?

Spoiler: Answer 3

"That's a Nice Hat"

Here's a really good quiz. Some easy, some hard.

I was only COMPETENT! PFFT!

1970s Pop Music Quiz

The bad part about it too is one of the questions I missed was about my favorite band (Pink Floyd)....

It's timed so you'd have to be "quick" to cheat......

I am so ashamed on my results! I was still young back then and heard them all come out new.

I got 50% on the Beatles quiz. Didn't even bother to check which ones I got right/wrong.
