    Nailed 29 out of 30.

    Only one I missed was regarding the debut position of HFO upon release.

    I got 29 out of 30, but I believe there was an error in the question I missed. It read as follows:

    How many Grammy awards have the Eagles won?

    Three
    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.

    The Grammy one threw me for a loop for second, but I thought they just were awarded one at the Grammy tribute for Hotel California as a late acception so I went with five instead of six, and that was it. I agree it is wrong though.

    On the Linda question I just read "Linda Rondstadt's backing band" and said yes cuz I knew that had to be what they were talking about but I forgot it did say 4 people.

    I didn't post my score earlier, but I got the same 29/30 as Dreamer and Soda. My logic for the 2 questionable questions was exactly the same as Dreamer. My guess is "I Dreamed There Was No War" was omitted from the Grammy count.

    Whenever these things are about the music, I do well. But I have no idea (and I don't think there's any point in knowing such details) whether a documentary was released in 2012 or 2013! Unless it's somehow connected to another event in the same year, they are the same to me.

    Anyway, I got 26/30.

    Same here Chaim. I'm pleased with a score of 26/30.
    I don't remember stuff indiscriminately, I just try to remember the relavant stuff.
    I enjoyed answering the quiz thanks for posting the link OutlawManNJ.
    Congrats to all those who got 29 and 30
