Well, I said to my husband, I said, I don't think it's a very good idea for a blog post, the audience for it would be strictly 50 and over, probably having been or still being a bit hippy-ish, with a silly sense of humour. Kinda limited. He said, "well, it just entertained us for half an hour, didn't it?"
So here it is, for daft people who will never see 49 again - my picture quiz...
Name the 1960s/early 1970s rock band (answers at end!)

I saw the above chap (not the whole group!) (is that confusing?!) at Leeds Roundhay Park in 1982, supporting the Stones. Top stuff!

OMG I'm so old that I'd stopped listening to rock groups before this lot were born.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there WERE any rock groups before this lot, Hache!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a giggle this was TT. We (K & I tried it together) got 1,2 4,5,7,9, and 13. I mistook Velvet Underground for Deep Purple :) Some of them were pretty tough, but I loved the clues, especially the last one. Had no clue, of course, until I saw the answer, and then it was clear…and as for Johnny Cash - brilliant! Thanks - it did indeed occupy us for a jolly fifteen minutes or so :)
ReplyDeleteOh, hurrah, you did it!!!!! Yes, i thought it might be in your sphere of experience....! You have to be of a certain age to have heard of Chicken Shack...!
DeleteYes, I loved Chicken Shack in their day…Christine Perfect/McVie…great memories xx
DeleteLoved Johnny Cash.....Strange, this chewing gum tastes like rubber! ;)
ReplyDeleteI shall tell Him Indoors, Clive!!
DeleteCross Bee....brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, would you believe the whole post started because of that? I referred to someone as a 'cross bee', and said, all they need now are Stills, Nash and Young.... and so it went on!!!!!!
DeleteApparently I suck quite badly at this. Won't even say my score :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure that is because you're not old enough to remember them, Jen - I say over 50, but I think I really mean not younger than 54, ie, my age, and you'd have to have been into rock since about the age of 11, as I was....!
