This thread is 3 years old - but the link to the quiz still works.
So I took the quiz relating to Queen. I got 46% right which isn't very good as I always like Freddie but I realise I don't know anything about him.
These quizzes are useful in the off season.

I got 30% in the Beatles quiz. This is not good. I must make more effort.

I got 40% for the David Bowie quiz, not bad as I didn't follow him religiously .

Well done Chris, that's good! I like David Bowie and I'll do his quiz tomorrow and see what sort of result I get.

That's very good, I'd have got 0% if I'd tried to do that one.
Sorry I forgot about the David Bowie quiz, I'll try to remember tomorrow.

lol I got 35%.
I'm really not into pop singers, particularly the more recent ones, so I think I'll give the rest a miss!

35% is quite good in the scheme of things. I'm not into recent pop singers either, but David Bowie is very nice and is quite recent. so I'll see how I get on with his quiz in a few minutes.

So right I know nothing about David Bowie. I got 37% right and all the rest wrong. I kept saying "I have no idea" to nearly all the questions.
The only thing to do is to re-sit the quiz in 2 weeks time and to listen to as many David Bowie songs in the meantime.
I'm so ashamed of myself and I always thought I was a Bowie fan - so stupid

I think you should give the Beatles quiz a try Chris - you can't do any worse than we did!
I might see if I can try to do another one tomorrow, and I might revise Queen and David Bowie too (I mean I might revise them over the next 2 or 3 weeks)<

Well done Chris!
I had a shot at the Rolling Stones and scored 55% which isn't bad considering that I never took all that much interest in them.

70% for Chris for the Beatles is truly excellent, especially when you thought you didn't know much about them!
& Aileen 55% for the Rolling Stones is very good too and you thought you weren't much interested in them!
I'll have a go at Johnny Cash but in a few hours from now.
