Almost Impossible Rock n Roll Quiz

Rolling Stone has handed out its Almost Impossible Rock n Roll Quiz. I scored a 43 out of 58, which makes me, according to the invisible internet graders, an "expert." It's like getting a 1500 on the SAT, except that people who know a lot about rock never took the SAT. They went the GED or the ASVAB route. So, as a better point of reference, a 43 out of 58 is like a GED score above 3,000. If you have way too much time on your hands--this was not intended to be a rock n roll reference to Suxx, I mean Styx--take the test and report back to the readership on your score.

What? I'm a huge rock fan, and I scored a 1423 on my SATs.

Actually, it should have been 34 (not that it's a score to brag about), as they didn't score one of the multiples correctly. I answered it right, but they didn't give it to me.

Ben-T,

OK, but how did you do on this rock quiz? That is the proof, not how you did on the SAT's.

I will take it later but know nothing about popular music.

25, "whiz" though I should study more liner notes. I mainly guessed, although sometimes half-educated ones.

Obviously don't know $hite about rock n' roll. Least ways, don't pay attention to anything but the music.

28.

43 is very impressive.

How long have you waited for a post that would allow you to brag about your SAT score?
