Cheesy Rock Ballads Quiz

Styx
How well do you know your cheesy rock ballads? Think of bands like Foreigner, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx (pictured) and Toto.
We’ve all belted one out at a party or karaoke bar at some stage, and okay, I admit there’s a copy of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep on Loving You” lurking on my MP3 player — partly for irony’s sake, but mostly because it’s an air-punching epic.
Most of us can recognise these puppies quicker than you think. See how many you can pick — I was relieved to only score 70 per cent (my Toto and Foreigner knowledge wasn’t up to scratch).

Hanging my head in shame, and also to show off wear my mullet will be sprouting….

Um… I got 10/10.
And I don’t even like any of those songs.

Sheesh, 100% for me too. I’m just a well rounded, knowledgable musical guy. Ok, I do own some Bon Jovi and Toto too but none of the rest – honest!

100% – like taking candy from a baby. Come on, that wasn’t the least bit hard!
