About This Quiz

Rules stay plain. A song title appears. Four single-word band names sit beneath it. Only one is the real band. Decide without fuss, then check your answer. Keep the flow steady and the clicks honest.

Selection is balanced for replay. Decades and textures rotate so attention doesn’t stall, yet nothing leans on trivia deep cuts. Recognition is all you need; that is the point.

Set house rules if you want. Ten steady cards, short pause. Rotate seats between rounds for groups. End by sorting correct picks by decade, just for fun. Light lift, repeatable rhythm.
