    Rock / Pop Quiz

    I'm sure I'm not alone in looking at my friends, or looking in the mirror, and thinking that we're all getting a bit old. Unfortunately, it happens to our heroes as well. So here's a little 'Name that Rock Star' quiz. It will help a lot if you like rock music from the 1970's onwards. There are a couple of curve balls, a couple of vampires, and a few that are pretty obscure. If you get half of them, you're probably doing well. These are all screens shots from YouTube videos, so don't bother trying to reverse image search them.

    In the interest of not spoiling, post your answer with image number and the first letter of their Christian name only.

    Good luck and happy spotting.

    PS No. 11 isn't Peter Capaldi.

    Thanks for setting the quiz. I don't know five of those named, so was never going to guess them! I'd have thought I'd recognize Angus though.

    Great quiz, thanks. Couldn’t resist adding this one who dropped out of the limelight some time ago

    I think I prefer the growing old naturally look. I imagine the equivalent female stars look like botoxed waxwork dummies in comparison!

    I thought no 5 was Elkie Brookes and thought she was ageing well!

    To be honest, though, a lot of them I wouldn't have recognised in their heyday...

    Even the young ones, 19 and 20, who were in bands more my era, look bloody ancient.
