I haven't taken this yet, but prepare to waste some time on this quiz (and maybe win an iPod?):

Ahahaha. Yesssss. Join me...

Extremely inebriated at this point, and I'm trying to see how far I can get on my own... 35 and counting so far. For some reason, the quiz ain't takin' my Beasties entry, which is kinda frustrating.

Neil: yes, that is indeed Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. And you didn't get The Smiths' album. Guy, for shame.

It's a rather silly quiz when they have some of the album names wrong. Apparently with the Neil Young album, 'Gold Rush' is one word, and the Beastie Boys album is 'Five,' not '5.' Also, they expect the full names & titles of some albums like the Bowie and Prince ones.

Frustrating, that is.
