I can’t. But why do I have a feeling that some of you can actually complete this quiz in under 300 seconds? [Sporcle via @rockcritics/Twitter]


  1. Well, that was total catnip for me.

    I got 27 out of 36. Got everything from 1983 to the present except 1990, when I kept trying Fear of a Black Planet and Goo but the winner was Ragged Glory (love that album, but I never would’ve remembered it).

    Really, I should’ve had 28 out of 36 but they didn’t give me Sandinista! for ’81 because I spelled it “Sandanista.”

    I’d list the others I missed here, but then I’d give away the game for anyone else who wanted to play. (Matos?)

  2. The only ones I got were Thriller, Sign O’ The Times, and Court and Spark

  3. I got all of them right.

  4. Nerd alert: I make quizzes for Sporcle.

    A lot of them.

  5. Well, this was unexpected! Thanks for posting this, Maura.
