    Default Name the Classic Rock Song from the Riff

    Here's an interesting little game. Guess the classic rock song from the riff without the lyrics. I only missed one. I would have had gotten that one too if I would have had about another 15 seconds.

    Good grief, I can't type that fast! I could guess the artist first, then it takes a few seconds to think of the song title.

    There were only two I truly didn't know. But there were several I "knew" (tune & artist) but couldn't remember the title! It's hell to get old....

    Well, I got a few freebies because of some of the comments here and ended up with 32/36 -- probably would have been 29 or 30 otherwise. SO frustrating when you know who does a song but can't remember the title...

    Anyway, that was fun. Thanks.

    The one I missed was "Old Man." I thought CSN at first, and then got to Neil Young but ran out of time.

    Yep. I got Changes, School's Out, and Rebel Yell from the comments here, though I think I could have figured out Rebel Yell.

    My issues were KISS, Styx (I knew what song it was, just not the exact title -- left out 'Come'), Neil Young, and ZZ Top.

    That was one of the two I didn't recognize at all. The other was the Kiss song--I never listened to those guys. I couldn't name another of their songs beyond Rock & Roll All Night.

    I woke up with a song in my head this morning, as usual, a very common song at that, but for the life of me I couldn't and still can't think of who did it or the title. So I'm not even touching this game until I remember the first one of the day.

    Not even Strutter? In fairness, I didn't know many/any songs until I decided to download a greatest-hits CD.
