The first (and maybe last!) BBK music quiz

[BBK]

Afternoon. As mentioned in a thread yesterday I used to do a lot of quizzes on a very popular music forum back in the day. So, here's a taster to see if people want me to start running them here or not. This one is pretty generic, they are usually more focused (i.e. 80's, rock, album covers etc), and not always music, have some sports stars ones, tv presenters, computer games etc. They are generally always quite retro, as I'm an old fuck now and don't hold with this modern stuff much.

Rules - very basic! Usually its answers by PM, but sometimes its fun to hold a quickfire one too, if there's enough interested people around to play. This will be a PM one, so if you don't know all the answers just send them in, and if you want to have multiple stabs please do that too. This one is by PM only. I will edit the thread to show the current scores. Oh, and I usually try and format them so google won't be of much help either, so we get genuine knowledge over ability to search

OK, here goes then:

LOL yeah, a really poor score. 8/10 - abysmal!!!

[willp2003]

well looking at those Q's I haven't got a clue, apart from the easy one at the end!

good effort tho

[BBK]

Nibb comes in with a solid 8, and I expect to see #10 corrected once he's thought about it a little more!

Trust me, you will know most of the answers. They are either from the 90's, or most people would class them as classics (except for maybe #2, but I've wanted to use that lyric for ages in a quiz ).

[BBK]

Scored edited - Booyakasha, your mailbox is full, but yes, that was the correct answer. Just one more to go now.

[Lee Macro]

PM sent

[maverick_15]

I've sent mine but got two answers from google (boo, cheat!). Anyone who didn't has too much random music knowledge! But probably rules a pub quiz.

[BBK]

All scores updated - three maximums now, 2 of them in one PM so I'm going to give them the outright lead ......

[Lee Macro]

Lets try again

[BBK]

Up to 9 now Lee, just that last one to get ......

[Lee Macro]
