17. But I won't say what I got wrong, in case it gives any clues.

Lol, I got 20. There's a few great lost Fall songs amongst the Speccie answers.

15! and the fall are probably my fave 'rock band'. i tend to stop listeing after levitate when the original band left tho

Pranet

This covers both of my interests, so I got 20/20.

13/20, I know nothing about The Fall and apparently too much about the Spectrum.

One hundred percent-ah!

Why weren't "Fat Worm Blows A Sparky" and "Everyone's a Wally" options?

Because the first one is clearly a Cardiacs song.

The only Spectrum game I know is Horace Goes Skiing

15/20. Not bad considering I only know the names of about 5 Fall songs, and only two of them featured in that list.

20.  I'd be handing my Fall-geek card in if it was any less.

White Lightning is a Spectrum game as well as a Fall song.  A little unfair that I got it wrong.

8/20. I knew Technician Ted was a Speccy game.

11/20 and yeah, that was the only one I was completely confident on.  Technician Ted was like the Dark Souls version of Manic Miner.

17.

i have zero knowledge of the zx spectrum, whatever that is

19. I was caught out by second-guessing myself over a Spectrum game. Should have gone with my gut (of the quantifier).

Oh, sorry, that was a Sonic The Hedhehog Youth Song, wasn't It?. Quite a few of the boys ( possibly not girls) of CaB will be getting the full 20/ 20 for this ' un, I would imagine. I liked the way the option choices were worded.

I didn't get that
Spoiler alert
Boxoctosis is a Fall song and that Great Britain Ltd, Corridors Of Power, Just Not Fun Baby Fun are Speccy games

20, in about 10 seconds. For most people the equivalent would be a quiz titled Is It a Shape Or Is It a Colour?

" most people" ? I know that Mark E. Smith's death warranted a short item on " News At Ten", but some of the results on this very thread show that The Fall are still very much a cult band. I would have thought that there would have been 20/20s all over the place. I'mactually quite surprised at Norton Canes' lowly result.And I suppose this just goes to show...

There have been 305 responses at time of writing. Everyone has scored a minimum of 5 points.

29 people have scored the full 20/20.

"Technician Ted" is the question with the most correct answers (275 out of 305).
"Just Not Fun Baby Fun" is the question with the most incorrect answers (102 out of 305).
