    I got 29/30 - the only one I got wrong was the Grammys question. I must admit I'm kind of annoyed I slipped up on that one, although I'm in good company! I pretty much agree with everyone else's comments about this question. I also agree about the Linda Ronstadt question, although it was reasonably clear what the answer was supposed to be. By contrast, I think the documentary question was a bit mean as it hinged on one small detail and my commiserations go to people like Toni who wouldn't necessarily have known that.

    The quiz on the whole was decent I thought, aside from the couple of questions that have mentioned, although I think I'd perhaps have liked a couple of more detailed 'song' questions (something like 'Which member wrote Most Of Us Are Sad?', for example)

    I 29/30. For some reason, I thought On The Border was their first platinum album.

    I got 29/30 too. I think the question AG got wrong is what I missed too.

    Five
    Seven


    As far as I know, the Eagles won six Grammy - Lyin' Eyes, Hotel California, New Kid In Town, Heartache Tonight, How Long, and I Dreamed There Was No War.

    I chose 'Seven' and according to the quiz, the correct answer is 'Five. I don't think so.

    I also thought another one of the questions was a little misleading. It said ...

    True or false: The four original Eagles originally formed as Linda Ronstadt's backup band.

    I went ahead and chose 'True' since I figured that is the answer they were looking for, but I think the wording is confusing. The four original Eagles played together with Linda Ronstadt on one or two (?) occasions, but I don't believe they were ever all a part of Linda's backup band at the same time.
    As I recall reading, the Original 4 played with Linda at her Disneyland Gig and that's the only time. Glenn and Don were in her backup band.......
