John Mayer fans crushed the Grammy question with a 100% success rate, yet completely fell apart on his Dead & Company role — where only 33% knew he fills Jerry Garcia's shoes. Superfans know the pop hits, but the deeper musical legacy? That's a whole different ballgame.

A massive 56% of quiz takers thought Bob Weir — not Jerry Garcia — was the Grateful Dead guitarist whose role Mayer fills in Dead & Company. That's the single biggest misconception in the entire quiz, proving even devoted fans can mix up their Dead legends.
