Tonight is BBC2 TV Quiznight with the trio of Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge coming up, but here is a quiz from a local magazine which dropped through the letterbox today.

It's all about buildings. I'll not be curating the quiz but like the magazine puts the answers on the last page, the answers are in the spoiler. Without looking them up see how many out of the 10 you can get.

Excellent 60s track today which generated instant recognition, I even recognised the original 00s but couldn't name it! The rest the usual blank!

Original: Miss.
Sixties: Three seconds, had to think about it for a minute though.
Seventies: Miss.
Eighties: Miss.
Nineties: Miss. 'orrible.
00s: Miss.
New 00s. Miss.

Never heard of most of these people. As usual.

[mickthemaverick]

Recognised the 90s but couldn't name it.
Blew my own mind with a first chord ID on 80s but in truth the whole western world have heard a version of that track!
An anti-climax followed with a 5 secs on the 60s which I just couldn't bring to mind any earlier!
So 21/2 out of 7 for today which is above average for me!
