10/10

Too easy! They coulda messed me up with some of the alternatives tho!

 

[kingpin2512]

Sadly I got a 8/10.

 

[GKevinK]

oops... silly mistake

 

[Zureta]

8/10.

Got the first one wrong, for cultural differences — sorry, but my knowledge of '70s American tv show themes is limited being a Brazilian born in the '80s. Barney who?

And the Journey one. What's with the all-Journey question? I mean, an all-Beatles question could at least have four famous, possibly familiar songs to choose from. But Journey?

The rest was easy.

All in all, not the most life-changing test, but a fun way to waste two minutes.

I missed the Message in a Bottle. Too simple of a line a guess.

10/10

8/10 Got the Journey one wrong and the Four Seasons one wrong too.

 

[Largedon]

Got 10/10 but a few were tricky. Message in a Bottle was odd, I usually play it a little differently, but I also didn't learn it note-for-note. The December 1963 took me a little also, until I recognized the chord progression.

10 for 10 , way too easy.

10 out of 10 Message in a bottle almost got me though.

9/10 Journey song got me.

 

[Munjibunga]

I got 10 of 10, meaning the quiz is too easy.

 

[Gearhead17]

Message in a bottle seemed off to me too. And I used to play it quite close to the original! I got 7/10. I am not familiar with 60's and 70's bass lines. If it's rock orientated - then I have it.

 

[Biddy]

Alright, 8/10 but the Message In A Bottle was WRONG and who the hell is Barney Miller???

 

[standupright]

well that was fun

 

[bassistkll]

Aced it.

9/10 - I've not come across Journey on my travels.
