OK, I might as well jump on the quiz bandwagon. Given that my specialist subject is popular music, my 10 questions will focus on the history of transatlantic pop music of the 20th century.... GO!

1. In which year was the first blues record released, also what was the title and who was the artist? (award yourself one point if you guess at least two of the three facts.)

2. Who wrote 'Alexander's Ragtime Band'?

3. Who wrote 'Blue Suede Shoes'?

4. Who was Burt Bacharach's lyricist and writing partner?

5. Name The Rolling Stones' drummer.

6. What was the Beatles first studio album entitled?

7. What is the title of the first track on 'Pet Sounds' by the Beach Boys?

8. In which year was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon released?

9. What is David Bowie's real name? Also, is there life on Mars?

10. What is the biggest selling album of all time?

Spoiler:

How did you do?

I thought the first question would be difficult, but the rest are pretty standard, I feel...
