Name that tune in the UGO Music Challenge. Available in three delicious flavors: Rock/Pop, Hip-Hop/R&B, and Movie Music.

Wow, I sucked at that. I guess I'm just not up to speed on the current radio hits. This is a music quiz that was more my speed, which is to say, geek speed. Flash by the way.

Dude, not one but two Mase songs? Stupid challenge.

I do well in the movie section... unless it's some cheap horror flick or 80's chick film.

I played the Rock one 5 times, got 200 and 220, and then I didn't break 50 the rest of the time.

God I hate Marilyn Manson.

Good quiz.

thank you! that was great fun (though i wish i got bonus points for speed).

i'm pretty sure there's a mistake in there, though. did anybody else get Pearl Jam covering Neil Young's Rockin in the Free World (one more kid who'll never get to be cool, etc.)? the options were all Pearl Jam songs: Tremor Christ, No Exit, Go, etc.

nonetheless, great fun and often challenging, especially in movies. Duck Tales? c'mon ...

Rock was the only quiz i could really hang with, and their definition of "rock" is pretty loose. the electronic stuff kills me. i got 480 based on a bogus bonus Snoop Dogg song.

Yeah, I got that one. I recognized the lyric. (That was Pearl Jam?)

Also, who does that cover of Steely Dan's "Do It Again"?

Good quiz. My current high score is 370(movies), without scoring the double points question. It seems there are times when they lob them at you and then you just get nailed, no in between.

I find it interesting that they're not playing to the younger audience that is most likely at their site. If they were they wouldn't have so many early 80's songs.

I'm also a little confused as to how I got 6 Aerosmith questions in a row, but since I got them all right I'm not complaining.
