I wanted to get 100, but only got 92%. :(

[MN ChimpH8R]

1. 96%

Can't figure out how I missed two.

[flakey_foont]

2. Thanks

just took it..........I scored 100

nyah nyah

[dajoki]

55. 96%

:woohoo:

[Bonhomme Richard]

3. Easy, 100% n/t

[meegbear]

4. 100% baby!

I'm old!!!

[truebrit71]

5. Hmm 92% for me as well...

...I had no idea that Duff and Spears had destroyed those classics.......Both of them are little bushbot twats anyway....

[SheepyMcSheepster]

6. aw, i got an 88%

[JimmyJazz]

7. I got 96% - I have no idea which two questions I missed though.

[Midlodemocrat]

25. I got 96% as well.

[JimmyJazz]

32. I know I didn't miss the Clash question or the George Thorogood one!

:)

[Patiod]

67. Obviously not the London Calling one

:hi:

[yewberry]

8. Me, too.

Still, you know, 50 out of 51 is pretty darned good.

[fudge stripe cookays]

9. 100 baby!

Rock Star
You scored 100%!
You damn rock star. You know all the basics, and if you got any wrong, I bet it was that stupid Traveling Wilburys question. Your friends are probably intimidated by your knowledge of classic rock and envy your impressive collection. When a classic rock song comes on the radio, you can probably identify it before the vocals kick in most of the time. You probably get good scores on the "maiden name of Clapton's mom" tests, too.

I'd say, for any of us younger than 40, I had to guess at who played last at Woodstock.

[Burma Jones]

10. 100%

Lucky Guess on the Springsteen/Jackson Brown/Indigo Girls Quote though......

[On the Road]

11. I Scored 90%

The 60s and early 70s questions were pretty easy. Some of the 80s material I don't think really counted as classic rock.

[redqueen]

15. Yeah no kidding... Billy Idol?

WTF?

[MemphisTiger]

24. It makes me feel old when I see 80's as not being

retro but classic now. Time to accept that I'm not 20 anymore. :headbang:

[fhqwhgads]

12. i'm pretty happy...

...i got 94% and i was born after almost every song they referenced in the test was recorded. who says kids don't know history? :)

[deutsey]

13. 100%

All that useless and pointless trivia I've accumulated in my head over the years finally paid off!

[sundog]

14. 96%

How I scored:
The Veteran
You scored 84%! You've picked up the majority of the classic rock basics. You probably have a classic rock collection and can sing along with most of the songs on your local radio station. This is not the highest score, but it is arguably the best: that subtle combination of impressive knowledge and not being a pretentious geek.

17. one hunnert persint

I'm a rawk star!!!! :headbang:

[asthmaticeog]

18. 100%

[walkon]

19. 100%

Very Basic - However it had to favor those of us who grew up with that music. I consider myself pretty current on music and still prefer Rock, though mostly Alternative (i.e., not top 40).

There was only one question where I doubted myself and I will confess that I would not have "remembered" that Hendrix closed out Woodstock if I had not watched VH1 this past weekend - They played the Woodstock documentary over and over.

[kick-ass-bob]

20. YEEESS!! Low score so far.

68%.

I don't keep track of, nor do I have an extensive "classic rock" collection. I'm actually glad I don't know that much. :D


The Seeker
You scored 68%!
I don't know if you've been searching low and high, but you do know your bare-bones classic rock basics. With this kind of score, you probably nailed the signature song questions and most of the albums. You probably don't have much of a classic rock collection yourself, but when your friends play theirs, you recognize the songs. This is a respectable score: you're neither know-nothing nor nerd.

[sundog]

21. LOOSER!

[kick-ass-bob]

23. I consider people who get 96% to be loosers.

Not quite good enough to know it all, but they know too much to not know it all.

:rofl:

Plus, they tend to spell things wrong.

[Twillig]

33. My Kingdom for a Moran

with a "looser" sign. And someone to take his picture.

[sundog]

44. LOOSER!

[kick-ass-bob]

45. I know you are, but what am I?

:crazy:

[sundog]

48. looser than i am!!

[MemphisTiger]

22. 76% here

I've got my solid C and I'm happy.

[DBoon]

29. 72 %

results are based on your cohort, it seems.

the Clash is classic rock? I suddenly feel very old.

[Zomby Woof]

30. 100%

:-)

[jpgray]

31. 90%

[Tikki]

34. Yeah...100%........n/t

[Bluzmann57]

35. 100 pct.

I have to get a life.

[flamingyouth]

36. 100%

[Richardo]

37. Who closed out Woodstock? That must be the one I missed.

Sucks they don't tell you. 98% for me.

[underpants]

38. 100% those were too easy (Hendrix)

Hippie Moon bat

[Richardo]

42. I thought I picked him - maybe I hit Richie Havens instead

:dunce:

[no name no slogan]

56. Havens opened Woodstock

that's an understandable mistake

[redqueen]

59. Well that explains that, then.

I was feelin way stupid.

Thanks. :)

[no name no slogan]

64. And what an opening it was...

I've got the DVD of the movie at home, and Richie's performance is one of my favorites. I really, REALLY dig his stuff. Even his cover versions are incredible.

[catmandu57]

49. Jimi Hendrix

"You can leave if you want to we're just jammin".

92% damn eighties threw me off, the eighties sucked big stinkin ass.

[progmom]

39. 92%

[trackfan]

40. 96%

[BlueJazz]

41. 80 percent..but..not bad for a Jazz and Classical dude...

[imperialismispasse]

43. 96%

That's not bad since I don't listen to that much classic rock. I wonder which ones I missed. I wish it told you which ones were wrong.

[dback]

46. How'd I get a 96 on this? I'm a standards/show tunes guy mostly!

I like most kinds of music, but frankly, this surprised me. My sister is the 70's-rock godddess, I'd never thought I'd do this well. Hmmmmm.

Well! Back to listening to "Wonderful Town," "Gypsy" (no, not Stevie Nicks, Bernadette Peters), Linda Eder, Cassandra Wilson and Bryn Terfel.

[NoSheep]

47. 96%! No idea what I missed.

[democracyindanger]

50. 96%, and I thought Ed Sullivan

allowed the Doors to sing "Light My Fire," but told them to change the lyric, "we couldn't get much higher" because of a supposed drug inference--which is why the recording of the show has Morrison stressing "higher" while lurching towards the camera.

So I give myself bonus points and rate myself at 100%.

[hfojvt]

51. 90%

I do not know album names.
Also one of the questions was wrong. #41 said that the Doors were told not to play "light my fire" but my understanding is that they were expected to play that song. They were told not to say the suggestive word "higher". Morrison said it anyway and millions of kids ran right out and bought dime bags, and the Doors were not asked back to the Sullivan's really big show.
Also I did not know that ZZ Top's video's were misogynistic. Can somebody please explain the fifty ways, or should I google it?

[wildhorses]

52. what fun

too easy...care to do another one?

[crispini]

53. 80%

not surprising....

[catzies]

54. Too simple. I hate classic rock but got 100% because I'm old enough

to know all that shit firsthand. x(

[Chichiri]

57. A measley 78%.

[Orsino]

...But it was the "who closed Woodstock?" that I had to guess at.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 84% on notes

[meganmonkey]

60. Holy crap - 96%!

(I'm kinda proud of myself :) )

[miss_kitty]

61. I only got 90% :(

but I know nothing of Lynard whoever, ZZtop-but I got that question right and some other asshats (John melonhead?) so I was doomed not to get 100 unless I'd cheated.

[ghostsofgiants]

62. I only got 92% as well

x(

Not bad for a 20 year-old, I guess.

[cyberpj]

63. "You've answered 51 of 51, by the way"

Cool beans.

[shugh514]

[CitrusLib]

70. 84%. Says it's not a high score, but not pretentious either, LOL!

[scarlet_owl]

71. 90% for me. Pretty good for a 24 year old.

[Pithlet]

72. 96%

I wonder which one I got wrong? I thought I knew them all.

[Left_Winger]

73. 98 Woo-Hoo !!!

However, most of these questions dealt with the music of my younger days.

:woohoo:

[skygazer]

74. 100%

Just a classic rock kinda girl.

[lildreamer316]

Ha.
The secret is that in my high school it was cool to listen to the classic rock station. If you listened to top 40 you sucked.
