Hey, I got 70% on a 70's quiz. I think that's groovy!
Classic Zinger from the Hollywood Squares:
Peter Marshall: George, on the cover of his new album "52nd Street", Billy Joel is shown holding an instrument he can't play. What instrument is it?
George Gobel: The piano!

10 of 10. Had a little trouble with #10, but luckily guessed right.
No problem for me because my sister had it.

8/10 Missed the Jesus Christ Superstar one and the Neil Young one.
I had Rumours and 52nd St albums.
9/10. Misread the Fleetwood Mac question. The only album (actually, cassette) I had of these was "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road". Though it's not a concept album, I think it could make a good movie.
Unless I miss my guess, didn't Elton John sing "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road"?
You guess right. The partial album cover is used for Question #5.
10/10, had everyone of these albums.
I was 3/10.
You must not have listened to too much music that decade.
Missed War.
I wasn't sure about this one. I never listened to War, at least intentionally. I remember listening to the radio in my room at night, and when "Time Has Come Today" got to that part with just the ticking clock and the guys yelling "Time!" it scared the heck out of me.
Chambers Brothers. Just sayin'.
I have to admit that this was the only one where I needed to actually read the hint to get, but I knew the song, so I got it right. (10/10)
9/10. No complaints.
7/10 Missed #10 and I shouldn't have.
Another perfect score!
10/10!
