Very much depends on one's religion. Could be Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Another debatable question not thought through, sadly.

25/28. Annoyed I missed Aerosmith, especially since I was obsessed with them as a teenager!

One of two I failed on. Looking for two words, as I was with the Nirvana one.

Love this! I only got Muse and Little Mix wrong...never heard of Little Mix. I guessed that in my mind, but was like, "that's not a band!"

Inky Peeper Legumes would be a great name for a Black Eyed Peas cover band.

#3 should be "female monarch", but not both words. There was a band called King, so "monarch majesty" is neither appropriate or unique. #17 - afternoon and day are not the same. General point - my main beef with quizzes is the use of "well-known" or "famous" - it's demeaning because it suggests you really ought to know it and are a bit odd if you don't. It's only well-known to those who know them; I know more 1950s bands (before I was born) than I do 2020s.

I only missed the ones I'd never heard of. Agreed about Queen, I just thought well if it isn't Queen it jolly well should be
