Prog Trivia

I've recently discovered the website sporcle.com, which is essentially just a large database of quizzes.  While there is a quiz for just about anything (from the countries of the world to Batman's villains), I have become rather addicted to its music section.  They can consist of music clips (like the last one below), lyrics, or album titles.  Whichever way, they are a blast. 

The problem is, there are very few prog related quizzes.  I keep wanting to test myself, but I've exhausted the quizzes they have (the first three below).

Here's the challenge then: Give these a try, and then try and make your own.  Once you've made a quiz, post it here so we can all give it a shot.  You should expect my first one in the next few days.  Good luck.

Two more...  one isn't so great, though.

Well, I have searched Sporcle for quite a while... here is the last one I found.

Now y'all need to make some more.  So far I've been doing pretty well, aside from Ivan's quizzes.  I just don't know that much Genesis.

13 of 20 in the second quiz.

I do your quiz Ivan, in the first one i score 40...

19 / 28
15 / 20
28 / 30

I scored much better than I would've expected, especially after seeing how other members scored... I never realized how much of a geek I am.

I only knew the question about Stacia from Hawkwind. 

Once again, Ivan, I did terrible on your quiz.  I was happy to make the top 20 this time.

Anyway, I have been messing around with Sporcle, and I made up a quick test quiz.  I realize neo-prog isn't everyone's cup of tea... but it's what I felt like doing.  So, go ahead and give it a shot.

I'll make some tougher ones in the near future.
