With due respect FW, I would expect a better score from you based on some of the music related posts you've made here in the past but no denying it was pretty tough, especially being that it spanned 40+ years.

Hey Rob Funk, what did you score - fess up!

I didnt even take it I read a few of the questions and I said to myself "good grief" and skipped to the answers. I dont think I would have got more than 5 lol.

Well, I got a 44 officially but I insist I be credited with a 45. It scored me for a wrong answer (in red) on that 'Hotel' question. I answered that in a flash and was 100% sure of my answers but it scored wrong for whatever reason.

Anyway, I'm thinking someone here will top that, I felt like I should have gotten a few more but then again I took a wild guess on one and got it.

Coolest question I thought was the Sloop John B. q, after all these years I discovered what they were actually saying on one line

Toughest q imho was the one on the Marley children - was anyone here aware of anyone other than Ziggy?

Good info tv - forgot about Rohan at the U of M., was once aware of that I think.

Whats the deal with everyone getting 33 score? Are you all on the same cheat sheet?

:think2:

IMO, the test in itself is entertaining, but it's a pretty lame test of one's Rock'n'Roll knowledge. For example, it's possible to not even know who Tupac Shakur is and get the question about him correct if you have good knowledge of Steven Seagal films.

Yes, that crossed my mind on a few of them too but like you say it did make it entertaining. My first thought after taking it was that they should have come up with an even 100 questions - not that hard to do for RS.
