David Bowie Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia
A David Bowie quiz asks two things per clip: name the song, and name which Bowie made it, since he changed voice and genre so completely his own catalog barely hangs together. Guess the David Bowie song from the folk-rock 'Space Oddity' and the glam of 'Ziggy Stardust' to the soul of 'Young Americans', the cold Berlin 'Heroes' and glossy 'Let's Dance', then test your trivia by matching each to Ziggy, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke or Major Tom. Match the persona and you know Bowie.

Uma carreira para explorar em quiz
The radio hits (where casual fans start)
Most players catch these from the opening bars: 'Space Oddity', 'Heroes', 'Let's Dance', 'Changes' and 'Rebel Rebel'. They are the free points early in a David Bowie quiz. The harder follow-up is which era each one belongs to, since they span more than a decade of very different Bowies.
Match the song to the persona (the character trap)
This is the angle that sets a David Bowie quiz apart. Ziggy Stardust owns 'Starman' and 'Suffragette City', Aladdin Sane brings 'The Jean Genie', the Thin White Duke fronts 'Station to Station', and Major Tom runs through 'Space Oddity' and 'Ashes to Ashes'. One artist, a new character each time, so the miss is naming who is actually singing.
The Berlin turn (where superfans pull ahead)
Past the hits, the field thins on the cold electronic run he cut abroad with Brian Eno: 'Sound and Vision', 'Warszawa' and the title track 'Heroes'. Place these from a short clip and you have reached the top tier of a David Bowie guess-the-song round.
The final act and odd corners (the wildcards)
The trickiest questions sit at the edges: the drum-and-bass of 'Earthling', the art-jazz of 'Blackstar' released two days before his death in 2016, and the Queen collaboration 'Under Pressure'. A thorough David Bowie quiz keeps one wildcard from these corners in hand.

What makes the David Bowie quiz tricky?
He remade himself so fully that clips from 'Ziggy Stardust', 'Young Americans' and 'Let's Dance' hardly sound like one artist. The catch is tying each song to the right era and character.
Can you score 10 out of 10 on David Bowie?
