Tommy fans are basically walking encyclopedias when it comes to the album's story — 100% of quiz takers correctly identified that Tommy Walker is deaf, dumb, and blind, making it the ultimate 'no-brainer' question of the quiz!
While fans nailed the iconic 'Pinball Wizard' with a perfect 100% score, they stumbled hard on the album's opening track — nearly 1 in 4 fans couldn't identify 'Overture' as song number one, revealing a classic 'know the hits, skip the intro' blind spot.
