This one’s pretty easy for rock fans. I had a little trouble with the Jane’s Addiction and Police ones, but still got 100%! > **[Quizzes, Trivia, General Knowledge Tests & More | Mental Floss](https://www.mentalfloss.com/quizzes)** > > Up your trivia game with quizzes on history, pop culture, general knowledge and more from the Mental Floss team. ---

I got them all except Neil Young and Dire Straits. Got the 2 confused. Have heard them both numerous times but couldn’t figure out who it was. ---

I got them all. The product of a mis-spent youth, and all those years since. ---

The only two songs I wasn’t intimately familiar with were Jane’s Addiction’s “Three Days” and The Police’s “Driven to Tears” (though I’ve heard that song a million times, and I don’t remember that guitar solo…was that a live version?). Luckily for me, the styles were different enough that it was easy to differentiate them, so I got 100%. It would have been a much better quiz if it hadn’t been a “mix ‘n’ match”. Then I would have probably gotten 8 of 10… ---

I’m at work and have to keep my speakers pretty low. Or at least that’s the excuse I’m going with. ---

I wasn’t familiar with the Jane’s Addiction song or the Police song, but I could identify their style, especially the Jane’s one. ---
