Two decades of number ones live here, from the guitar strut of 'This Love' to the glossy bounce of 'Sugar' and 'Girls Like You'. Nail these and the easy points take care of themselves before the deeper cuts arrive.
The details behind the hits reward close listeners: a high-school guitar band that became a pop juggernaut, a chart-topping duet with Christina Aguilera, and a smash that borrows its chords from Pachelbel's Canon.
One falsetto ties it together, but the sound underneath keeps changing. Line up the radio smashes, the early guitar-band cuts, the era-placement puzzle and the featured guests, and find out which Maroon 5 catches you out.
Start with the pop smashes that dominate radio and weddings. 'Sugar', 'Girls Like You', 'Moves Like Jagger', 'Payphone' and 'Memories' are the ones almost everyone names on the first hook. In any Maroon 5 quiz these glossy hits are the easy points.
Here is where casual fans slip. Before the pop machine, Maroon 5 were a live funk-rock and R&B band, and 'This Love', 'She Will Be Loved', 'Harder to Breathe' and 'Sunday Morning' from Songs About Jane are all guitar, keys and groove. Recognizing this era is a real fan's edge.
The band has restyled itself every few years, but Adam Levine's falsetto never changes, so superfans pull ahead by placing the era rather than the voice. A stripped 2002 cut and a 2019 feature track can share the same singer over completely different production. That is the trap the quiz sets.
Late-era Maroon 5 runs on guests, so the trickiest questions ask who is featured. Christina Aguilera sings on 'Moves Like Jagger', Wiz Khalifa raps on 'Payphone', Cardi B takes a verse on 'Girls Like You', and Megan Thee Stallion appears on 'Beautiful Mistakes'. Name the guest and you are in the top tier.
Play a Maroon 5 quiz on Songtrivia to find out. Name each song from a short clip and place it in the right era, from the guitar-band days to the feature-stacked pop hits. Eight right and you have followed them since the guitars; placing every era is rarer.
The band has reinvented its sound many times while Adam Levine's falsetto stayed the same. A 2002 funk-rock cut and a 2019 pop feature share one voice, so you have to place the era, not just recognize the singer.
'This Love', 'She Will Be Loved', 'Moves Like Jagger', 'Sugar' and 'Girls Like You' are the most-guessed, with early cuts like 'Harder to Breathe' as the curveballs.
No, and that is a common trap. They began as a live funk-rock and R&B band on Songs About Jane before turning toward radio pop, so the early guitar-driven songs catch people out.
Adam Levine, who founded the band in Los Angeles out of an earlier high-school group called Kara's Flowers and is also a coach on The Voice.
