The JOE Music Quiz: Week 1

You’ve got the Pub Quiz, the Movie Quiz, the ’19 in 90′ Quiz and now, finally, the JOE Music Quiz…

Welcome everyone to the inaugural edition of the JOE Music Quiz.

Who doesn’t love a good quiz? Fools, that’s who.

Given the love for the likes of the Pub Quiz, the Movie Quiz and the quick-fire, hard-as-nails ’19 in 90′ challenge, we figured it was time to introduce another regular weekly brain-tester into your life.

And so we have the JOE Music Quiz.

We’ll ease ourselves in with this first shot in anger, with a general and topical enough knowledge assembly across the 15 questions below.

Good luck…
