The Smiths Quizzes
Four albums. Five years. A complete rewrite of what guitar music could be — The Smiths left a catalogue so precisely constructed, from Hand in Glove to Strangeways, Here We Come, that every track rewards serious study. This collection puts that knowledge to the test: the Band History Quiz, the Albums Quiz, the Songs Quiz, and the deep-focus Queen Is Dead Quiz cover the full discography — not just the anthems, but the sequencing, the cover art, the B-sides hiding in plain sight. Across all quizzes, fans are scoring just 70% on average, and that "How Soon Is Now?" B-side question is catching nearly half the room off guard — step into the gallery and see where you stand.
