Music Quiz Questions and Answers
Music questions are where quiz teams are won and lost. Everyone has an opinion, and the person who knows the B-side never lets you forget it.
This page gathers every music question we've set on Astuto. We go for the stories behind the songs: where band names came from, famous firsts, and the moments that changed what we listened to. Mostly British, sometimes not, always with a short explanation and a source.
Each question has four options and one right answer. Try it before you reveal the answer. If you get it right, enjoy the moment. If not, you've got a new fact for the next time the radio is on.
New music questions arrive every week as part of our question of the day.
How Astuto are you? Five questions. Two minutes. Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
