The Progressive Rock Quiz. TRY IT!!!

I may add that what this poll measures is not the total knowledge any of us has of prog, but rather the total knowledge we have about the segment/bands the author of the quiz is interested in. I would say I scored poorly, but I know about some other bands/segments of prog that were not covered in that quiz.

In my opinnion it's just a poll, and It's just a fun thing to do which helps you remember some things. That's all!
I scored 60% with some guessings (of course) as most of you folks.
But it's impossible to know all the questions there, except if you have dedicate your life to Progressive Rock.
For example I'm 46 years old, and I listen to Prog (and other styles ofc) since I was 20. I was DJ in Rock bars, I have my own radio show which deals with Prog A LOT, and I scored 60%... So what?
I guess you understand what I'm trying to say here, right?
Just enjoy the poll, and do not take it seriously!
P.S: But I'm very pleased that so many people took some time to do it and write their comments. Thank you!
I'll be back soon with another poll...

60% for me, with some guessing.  It should have been a bit higher as it seems to the think I picked the wrong answer for the Pictures At An Exhibition question when I'm quite sure I selected Mussorgsky.

Anyway, never even heard of the bands and artists in the ones I guessed on, so a bit TOO obscure if you ask me.

I got 50% exactly, with a lot of guessing. After I was done, it said:
"Ok you know the big names, but if it aint well known then you don't know it. Shame your missing out on good stuff, go have a good look at some of the less well known bands, you';ll like what your hear. I promise."
Well, of course, as with most of us, I know quite a few obscure bands that weren't on the quiz. A lot of the bands I did know and knew already that I was not interested in them.

Agreed.

Okay, but I'm making my own quiz and I'm going to get 100% on it.

I got 37% with no guessing; much of the obscure stuff relates to bands I'm aware of but are way outside my sphere of interest. Some of it requires a very loose definition of prog (as if there's such thing as a tight definition).

63%. I don't know much about bands like BJH, Arc, Room, etc.

Almost 600 people visited my blog these days and tried this quiz.
Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoyed it!
I'll try to find some more quizes and share them here...
