Garbage fans nailed Shirley Manson's identity with a perfect 100% score, yet completely fell apart on where the band was actually formed — only 29% knew it was Madison, Wisconsin, revealing a classic 'know the star, not the story' fan blind spot.
When asked which song Garbage contributed to a James Bond film, 43% of fans incorrectly chose 'Push It' — nearly matching the 43% who got it right with 'The World Is Not Enough', making it the quiz's most evenly split misconception.
