9/10 - thought the bland looking geezer in Coldplay was the bland looking geezer in Kings of Leon...

Me too!

[Thor]

7/10 for me...and i guessed at a couple of them!

[howdenspur]

Blagged 8/10 with some lucky guessing

[Bigwan]

9/10... Mostly guess work...

[Cosmo Valdemar]

9/10 - 3 of which were guesses. God bless Pete Quaife and his massive Rickenbacker.

[Johnm93]

Still in The Peleton....

8/10 also. Although since I count Snow Patrol and Coldplay as being completely interchangeable I think I can claim 9/10 ;-)

Very unfair on Mr Berryman. But ta very much for the heads up. Because...


... I got the full 10!!! BOOM!!! B-)

Always nice to see a mention for Jenny Lee Lindberg too(Pardon the spoiler!)!

6/10 isn't bad I don't think.

[yorks5stringer]

8/10 , got 4 and 10 wrong

[paul_5]

7/10. I recognised Hooky, but guessed all the others. Was it the girl from Warpaint? I love their first album but couldn't tell you what she looks like.

All of the others (apart from Dusty Gibbons and one other, but I won't spoil it for people who haven't done the quiz) were a shot in the dark.

7/10 without looking at clues from this thread or elsewhere. More bass related stuff in the mainstream please.

[BigRedX]

I would have thought that 4 of those bassists should have been recognisable to everybody on here.

True, but I wonder if they're the same four for everyone? I recognised five instantly; John Entwistle (hardly surprising), Tina Weymouth, Dusty Hill, Peter Hook and Bernard Edwards. Showing my age there, possibly...

Yep, I got those no problem by recognition. The others:

1. It's not Alex James, and he doesn't look American. So he's from Oasis (plus he looks a bit, you know)
4. That looks like the curly mop of a random Stroke on the right
6. It's not Gurno out of Haim, I've heard of Warpaint and they have a mostly-girl line-up so it must be
8. It's not Mickey Dolenz on drums, and they're too foppish to be American. Not mod enough for the Yardbirds, plus I'd probably recognise their bassist
10. Bloc Party and Snow Patrol aren't "world famous" (and if they are they shouldn't be), and he doesn't look American

Bingo!

5/10. I did better in [url="http://www.theguardian.com/books/shortcuts/quiz/2014/jul/11/poet-pamela-anderson-sylvia-plath-quiz"]Who's the poet[/url]: Pamela Anderson or Sylvia Plath?

[winterfire666]

3/10 for me, ha ha :^)

[KevB]

Rattled through it in 30 secs, 7/10. Couldn't recognise Oasis, Strokes or Coldplay. Rather pleased at the ones I missed tbh

[Dr.Dave]

I was doing OK - knew 4 of the first 5 - but then as I got bored I scrolled to a link with a picture of Pamela Anderson so I clicked on that ! A fine example to practise the sexual technique of 'double bassing' on I reckon.

[KevB]

But even dear old Pammie's changed a bit recently....

[Dr.Dave]

So have I , mate !

[Grassie]

10/10 for me. Guessed the Warpaint one and only got The Kinks coz I recognised the drummer and not the bassist...

[leschirons]

Bum. I got 6. It was all those young kids under 30 that got me.
