Subject: The Groups and Their Spawn: An Audio Quiz [Killed]

Written By: Windbreaker05 on 03/23/07 at 12:28 am

Hey, folks!

Since so many of y'all have come 'round and put together such fine quizzes, I thought I'd try my hand again. This is an audio quiz. The artists represented are various bands and at least one or more solo artist who was a member of that band at one time or another, although not necessarily at the time the clip I used was recorded. So, for example, if one of the artists on the quiz were Take That (pre-hint: it's not), then you might find a clip of a Robbie Williams solo song, and/or a Gary Barlow solo song. Similarly, if one of the artists on the quiz were The Rolling Stones (pre-hint: it's not), then you might find a Mick Jagger solo song and/or a Bill Wyman solo song. I think I've explained that okay, but, if not, just ignore the theme and, as usual, name the title and the artist from the clip. Pretty please, do not cheat! Have fun!

So many to choose from ... which 4 to answer ...  lol

19 | Leave A Light On - Belinda Carlisle
20 | My Side of the Bed - Susanna Hoffs
49 | Young Guns (Go For It) - Wham! (Which was also used in their hit 'Club Fantastic Megamix')
52 | Deep Inside My Heart - Randy Meisner (He was the first Eagle to go solo.  This was his last Top 40 solo hit)


A very cool quiz :)

Thank you :)

You've got 3.5 - #49 is Wham!, but it's a different song (which does sound similar to the one you named). Everything else is completely correct!


Then it must be 'Bad Boys'.  I swear, those hits from their 'Fantastic' album all sound the same, and I always get confused.  lol

#3 Ringo Starr - Photograph

and #53 same artist ^ singing "Act Naturally" ?? I think

Hello, Henk! Oh, did you know #51? I'm shocked! ;)

These are all correct!

Hey, Mike! This is correct!

You're on the right track here, but it's not that tune and it's a different (but closely related!) artist.
that opening guitar riff is the same, but dag if i know any other artist that sings it. I don't recall who that was, but it's a country-ish singer isn't it  ;D  lemme guess#53 as Carl Perkins - Act Naturally because Ringo covered his song Honey Dont too.

Written By: Badfinger-fan on 03/23/07 at 2:58 am


Sorry, I think I've led you astray. I meant to say the artist was closely related to Ringo Starr (in fact, it might be the first other artist people associate with him)... and when I say "artist," I use it generically to mean a solo act or group
thanks for the clarification Andrew  :)

so could #53 be The Beatles - Act Naturally?  ???

Thanks, Karen! You've got 3 - #12 isn't correct, but I bet it's a song you know. Feel free to try again!


Hm...

Having a hard time trying to determine the song with only four notes...yet it sounds so familiar!  :-[

Another guess...could it be 'Loving You's The Right Thing To Do' by Carly Simon?  :)

28 sounds like Crowded House
32 | In Your Room - Bangles
45 | Head Over Heels


I don't know the title, but #36 sounds like Glenn Frey. do you award 1/2 points?


The title is 'True Love' so I get the other half point.  lol

Yes I do and that one is all yours :)

#28 is actually a solo artist, the only one I pulled from his group (a group due for a new album, I believe... the second since reuniting)
#32 is The Bangles, but not this song... try again :)
#45 is correct, as is #36.


#32 is 'Be With You'.  I could strangle myself for not knowing that right away.  I have the 45
