Pop Quiz Number Two: The Magnetic Fields

It's Pop Quiz time again! This time it's a Magnetic Fields Special.

Play the quiz in the player below. You will hear intros from ten Magnetic Fields songs (NB there are no other Stephin Merritt projects included, such as The 6ths). The intros range in length from 15 seconds to just under 30 seconds. There are five second thinking-gaps in between each piece of music. The player can be paused at any time.

Some of the songs are better-known than others. If you score more than five out of ten, you can consider yourself a True Magnetic Fields Fan!

Good luck!

  3. You want to know the answers, don't you? Well, look no further than Loobie-Lou's list in the first comment - she got all ten right!

    Tomster - seven is no disgrace either!

    I declare we have two True Magnetic Fields Fans here! Well done!

    I may do a Wedding Present quiz next. Either that, or bands constrained by geography, such as Scottish groups, or Scandinavians...
