After the swinging 60s, musicians experimented with their sound, look and entire persona in more extreme ways. In London there was punk, with The Sex Pistols and The Clash leading a tribe of pierced, leather-clad young upstarts. In New York there was the CBGBs scene of unattainable, insouciant cool. From somewhere in space landed David Bowie and Marc Bolan - two otherworldly angels at the forefront of glam rock.
Relive the magic with this 1970s music quiz. Can you name the singers and groups from that decade?

I got 12 out of 16!
From Bowie, to Joplin, to Elton, and The Boss, you know your 70s singers! Well done. We bet you’re the one that never really left the 70s or 80s, and just kept on rockin’ out to those pioneers of music – and we don’t blame you! With that said, passing this quiz isn’t easy for everyone. You definitely need to have enjoyed these musicians in the past to be able to identify them, and you knocked it out! Great job!

You need better proofreading of your questions; I noticed a few typos.
