Hi,

I did not exactly enjoy this since they spread apart from "progressive" into other areas to get more questions in ...

Oh, there was a question missing ... whose wife has the best ____?

Or the best one yet ... how many rockers bring their wives into their work, for both music and fun? Name 3 at least! (Hint ... it's a world that does not think women belong except for show!)

You know what I mean, at least that would have been fun, though come another Sunday, she will cover them up for Christmas and New Years! Smile   Wink   LOL   Confused

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ My best chances were with the true or false questions, because at least then, I had a 50/50 chance of guessing the correct answer, bearing in mind I can't think of one true or false question where I actually knew the right answer. Embarrassed

Pink Floyd 4 out of 10, thought i would have done better.

Pink Floyd made more albums after 1996, so i dont know why i was scored wrong on the last question.
Question 2 was a 50/50 guess, cause i knew it wasnt DSOTM or The Wall.   Question 6 was a guess cause i thought to myself "inless PF have done a song longer than 19 and a half minutes, then the answer is Echoes".

4/10 for the Iron Maiden one aswell, even though i aint much of a maiden fan.   All my correct answers though were guess's apart from question 1.   I knew for definent that Running Free is on the debut, and i felt fairly certain Iron Maiden and Phantom of the Opera were, so that left only Children of the Damned.   The last question was my best chance as i actually have this album by Maiden, but i got it wrong :-(

With the exception of 9 out of 10 for Uriah Heep, there's no Hard Rock Hallelujah for me after these dismal results, which admittedly, involved a lot of guesswork, and just as predicted, I scored a big fat zip for ZZ Top. Ouch

Bad Company - 7/10
Black Sabbath - 6/15
Blue Oyster Cult - 4/10
Boston - 5/10
Deep Purple - 3/10
Iron Maiden - 5/10
Kiss - 6/10
Led Zeppelin - 5/10
Rainbow - 7/10
Rush - 2/10
Uriah Heep - 9/10
ZZ Top - 0/10

I got 8 out of 10, but most of my correct answers were guesses lol

I knew Derrick Dick was Fish's real name, i knew 21st century schitzoid man appears on the In The Court of the King Crimson album.    With the question on Queensryches 2nd album name,  i knew ST and Operation Mindcrime were not the answers, so a guess there with a 50/50 chance lol.

Much better than me. I only scored 6/10 with four lucky guesses. I didn't know who Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart were either, so that wasn't a good start. Embarrassed

'Twas out of 15 Paul - so 6/15 for you was it? Wink
Yes, you're right, it was 6/15, so it's even worse that I thought, but at least I know who Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart are now. Smile
