Sim's Progressive Rock Trivial Pursuit Test
 

Many, many moons ago, when I was a young 20-something, I answered an ad for a classic rock band. It was just one guy who wanted to start a band and as we talked I discovered he's a progressive rock fan like yours truly. So we agreed it would be a prog rock band. But to narrow our search for bandmates, I decided to come up with a test to weed out unworthy candidates. I choose questions carefully so that only if you know progressive rock can you answered all of them but not so obscure you had to know everything about prog rock. It's a litmus test, do you know this genre of music or not. So, anyone on Aural Moon should easily score 8 out of 10 on my progressive rock test. Please don't post with answers, if you want to check your answer, just PM me and I'll send you them (Then again, if you're a Moonie, you should know the answers easily.)
