Sometime last week, RollingStone.com released their Almost-Impossible Rock & Roll Quiz. It spans from the 60s until present time, so to do well, you must have a lot of knowledge of over 40 years of music. Some of the answers are rather easy (the one about the Mothers of Invention album cover, for instance) but some are, well, Near-Impossible.
For what it's worth, I scored a 36 out of 52. Not great, but not terrible either.
