6. I got 8 right
And I was only sure on 2 - the Spirit in the Sky question and the Mr Tambourine Man/Mighty Quinn one.

How lame.

I'm only 30, what can I say. But at least I know my folk rock hippie music :hippie:

7. Wonder if we're all getting the same 11 right?
I had a couple-few lucky guesses.

9. 16 out of 25...not bad for a Yank

Of course, I'm 53, so that helps with some of the older stuff.
