Quiz: How many of these 90s album covers do you recognise? | Music | theguardian.com

10 out of a possible 10

Well done! You are more 90s than plaid shirts and hairbands. You must have got through the 90s with a CD tower full to the brim and a tape deck forever being jammed – you really know your stuff.

The original critique could be about all of England really. Britpop was a mirror and an amplifier of the society.

Saying that, I do own a stack of Boo Radleys CDs.

Suppose I shouldn't have admitted that.

Not bad, not bad. You're definitely in touch with the popular musical scene of the 90s, but some of the more obscure LPs threw you. You'd make the boyband, but you'd be the one in the background.

huh

not sure why i'm annoyed, i guessed at least 3 of them

What the big Yoof music trend at the moment?

...And should the bloggers and jurnos be sharpening their knives, ready to dissect it because it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment
as it didn't explain the mysteries of life to them.

It's all about niche now isn't it? I think getting their heads around that is proving difficult for those still looking for an all encompassing movement.

Everything is niche and fragmented. The media, music, art, politics... It's all niche.

A mate saw a gang of young skins and punks in Temple Bar the other day blaring Calvin Harris from their boombox

Someone needs to explain the rules to them

Better Calvin Harris than Calvin Johnson.

For me Beat Happening have really lost their shine.

Not bad buddy, not bad. With a bit more air guitar practice, you could easily join Guns N' Roses.

You're MOR rock – middle of the road. You know your Kim Wilde from your Pat Benatar, but more elusive titles escape you.

Only four were'nt guesses no idea who Pat Benatar is.

I'm young, but I'm not that young.

@hydromancer She sang the really quite wonderful Love is a Battlefield
