Elliott Smith
|
Elliott Smith is a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. His songs are heard in several movies and one of his songs was nominated for an Academy Award. Sadly, Elliott died on 10/21/03. Perhaps this quiz will expose new listeners to his music...

Eight Days A Week
|
Well there may be eight days a week, but there are only 12 Beatle songs that contain a day of the week in the lyrics. Since there are only 10 questions, I kept it simple and I didn't include "Searching" & "Don't Ever Change." You should know the rest.

Tonight We Dream In Poems

Whoa. What a curious dream. I'm sitting in this unfamiliar, grand dining room with settings for 12. In walk ten individuals, some I recognize and some I don't. They begin to talk in verse. I take a seat and invite you to join me...

The Catcher In The Rye In Song
|
If you really want to know the truth, this quiz is about some lousy book called "The Catcher In The Rye" and how it's found in a bunch of crazy songs and all. I'd wish you good luck and all, but then I'd probably want to puke.

From Alt-County to Kraut Rock, test your knowledge of one of America's emerging bands. Looks like this is the first Wilco quiz (of hopefully many), so it'll be an easy one. Roger, Wilco, Over and Out...

"King Of America" and "Blood & Chocolate"

1986 was an incredible year for Mr. Costello and saw the release of both "King Of America" and "Blood & Chocolate." A few facts, a bunch of lyrics and a whole lot of love for these two supreme albums.

Greetings And Salutations

Dear Quiz-Taker. Whether it's "Dear," "Hello" or some other form of acknowledgement, there's many a good songwriter who included these greetings and salutations in some of our favorite songs. Regards, TheMats. P.S. Have fun...

Label Me This!

To paraphrase Dylan: I ain't looking to analyze you or catagorize you. But wait, I need to know if The Rolling Stones are from the British Invasion or Acid Rock? If you know the answer then this quiz was made for you. Good luck.

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

Do you brood? Does a wet and gloomy morning excite you? Then these wonderfully insufferable lyrics should be at the tip of your tongue. Could it be Belle & Sebastian, Bright Eyes, The Cure or The Smiths?
