    A picture of the future!

    Aw man, I even listened to “Cousin Mary” as a candidate but eliminated it. Didn’t hear the lick.

    I do love how these quizzes demonstrate that an artist can have a distinctive instrumental (or ensemble) style. You know that’s Coltrane, or Hendrix, even if you can’t identify the track.

  2. platosearwax

    Totally agree with Chris on knowing that was Hendrix and Coltrane.

    I should probably turn in my alternative/goth card for not even naming Joy Division.

    I had Jim Croce pegged for 2 from the start but just could not find the song until today so wasn’t sure it was him. His voice hits a low note there which threw it off.

    yeah, with Jimi, i wasn’t expecting anyone to get the song – it’s not one of his hits. but his sound is fairly unmistakable. and that little bit i grabbed is one of my favorite sounds he ever made.

    i was hoping to trip someone up with that J Geils song, because the bass player is doing stuff there that sounds, to me, exactly like what Tina Weymouth does all over the place on their live stuff: : two low notes, rest a couple bars, then a quick high slide. alas, no takers.

    Does the fact that I know Jim Croce songs and not Katy Perry mean I’m old? Wait, don’t answer that.

    (I didn’t know that one but you gave me points. I guess that means I got 22 not 24.)
