My Prediction- I’m Going To Nail This Quiz

32 Comments on My Prediction- I’m Going To Nail This Quiz

1. 21, but in my defense, my car radio quit working around ’76.

2. I would do better at 1960 songs.
   By the 70’s I was into classical music
   Trying to hang around a classical pianist and impress her with my knowledge.
   Didn’t work but I tried really hard.
   Way out of my class talent wise.

3. 26. I’m so ashamed.

4. Started off strong then fell apart…too many disco songs

5. 20 because there’s that shite I don’t listen to.

6. “Hey, ho, let’s go! Hey, ho, let’s go!”

   Soundtrack to a 70’s Blacksploitation movie?

7. Name that tune…..right?

8. 21 but then I did think that it was “it’s a long way to the shop, if you want a sausage roll” (ACDC). for about six months when I was 8.

9. I just made that up because I’m embarrassed too.

10. 23. It helps that the first line was usually all I heard before I changed the station on most of these songs.

11. 29. Hot Stuff got me.

12. 25. I guessed at a bunch of them and got lucky. Graduated high school in the early 70s but being in Cleveland, mostly what we listened to was Motown on CKLW out of Detroit. I got the Marvin Gaye’s right.

13. 29. Debbie Boone. Argh!

14. 22. Actually kind of embarrassed I got ALL the Bee Gee songs.

15. I was a DJ on the FM side in the 70’s. I talked up every song ever made.
    I still hear them in my nightmares sometimes. I missed the cue and lost my job, nightmare
    Or table froze and the record wouldn’t play.
    I got them all and wish I didn’t.

16. I got 24. Now I’m reflecting on my misspent youth…

17. i hate all pop music, no matter the era. also, for some reason, i have never understood or paid attention to lyrics. i only really hear the music. all this makes my love of death metal easier, because you can’t understand the lyrics anyway, and the music effing rocks!

18. 24
    I can name that tune in three notes, but not necessarily three words.
    (I’m an instrumentalist)

19. I am so ashamed to say this, but I was studying to be a DJ in the late 70s, so these songs should have come instantly to me. I was just not into pop music then, as I am not now. I loved classical and jazz. Ask me anything about those genres and I would have gotten all the questions right.

20. 28, although some of them I got by process of elimination.

21. 28 of 30! I can name that tune in 5 notes.

22. 22-Lost it on the Disco/Motown portion.

23. I also got 27 and used some process of elimination. Also got lucky on a couple educated guesses.

24. You scored

    24 out of 30

    Turns out my expertise in 70s hits is narrowly concentrated in a limited range that doesn’t include disco or soft rock.

    I think if I actually heard the first few notes and read the accompanying lyrics I’d of gotten most of them.

25. 27, That Sex Pistols one thru me.

26. There were 30 different songs in the ’70s?
    Milwaukee Classic Rock stations only got about a dozen of ’em.

27. 21

    I don’t listen to lyrics in songs

28. 24. And the best band in history is the Replacements.

29. 21, but in my defense, I don’t know any sappy stuff, black sabbath or sex pistols, so… eh.

30. I had a pop up box appear, so I didn’t finish the quiz.

31. 24…but I guessed at a few.
    Ozzie, Paranoia, e.g….pretty obvious.

    @Lowell, I think there’s a 12-step program for you.

32. Fun!
