How fast can you identify the titles of the top ten Beatles songs on Spotify—just from short audio clips? Now, rank them by Spotify play count—all from memory—while eight other teams scramble to do the same. If that kind of challenge gets your adrenaline pumping, you would have been right at home at the Gloucester County Historical Society’s Music Trivia Night on March 8.

The sold-out event drew more than a hundred attendees who spent hours testing their knowledge of rock & roll history, battling to out-remember and out-think each other on trivia spanning from the 1960s to the 2000s.

Leading the night’s excitement was Tony Romeo, a well-known Trivia Night host in southern New Jersey and the Executive Producer and Host of Weekend Philler on WPHL (PHL17). Armed with his signature sound system and computer setup—the engines of his fast-paced, music-fueled contest—Romeo kept the energy high.

Adding to the fun, attendees were invited to dress in their favorite decade’s fashion. The result? A mix of costumes from Madonna and Gwen Stefani to characters who looked like they had just stepped out of Rydell High School in 1958.

Here’s how the night looked like:
