As promised, here's Part 2 of my 1973 music quizzes.
And surprise, surprise...I've somehow managed to make it an audio quiz!
I think/hope this should make it considerably easier for you. ;)

Limit = OFF. No cheating allowed. Good luck everyone! :)

Hints!
03. Not a hit in US, but the song peaked at #6 in UK and at #20 in The Netherlands.
      The lead singer later moved to AC/DC. It’s got nothing to do with me.

05. A hit only in The Netherlands, apparently, for this band that went through numerous changes in lineup.
      One of the band members was Gerry Rafferty. Stealers Wheel.  How time flies…

08. This lady got a Licence To Kill, although this song is about quite the opposite. It peaked at #21 in UK.
      If only eyes could speak.

10. They´re a Melting Pot, this band with lead singer Madeline Bell. The song (about the bad influence Satan has on us)
      peaked at #26 in UK.

18. This song has something in common with songs #27 and #31 in this quiz, and that’s quite OK. The band is Mungo Jerry.

19. A song about little critters (up his trousers). Pavement, yellow crazy, sugar, carpenter, fire… they come in all sorts,
      and are generally considered a pest.

23. A US #83, UK #5 and NL #6 hit song for the lead singer of The Who. He’s not keeping anything.

26. You know his brothers (Randy, Tito, Michael…) and sisters (LaToya, Janet…). So I think you should know him as well.

28. I don’t think anyone remembers this song, about a defective heavenly creature. Still peaked at #9 in UK, though.

35. It will come back to you, this brightly colored Australian hunting device.

36. This song seems to be dedicated to one of our Aussie members. The singer – a 7-time winner of Opportunity Knocks –
      shares his name with an English chef.

37. This is a cover of Snoopy vs. The Red Baron. The cover went to #4 in UK.

39. The song is about returning to the place you live. It went to #36 in US, #4 in UK and #2 in The Netherlands.

44. Maybe you should use your telephone and give him a ring.

45. The band was named after a character from David Copperfield. The song title seems to reflect a rather laidback lifestyle.

Okay now that I got my guesses in I can say Great Quiz Henk. And what a creative way to get us to look at your vacation pics! O0

Oh and you should totally be playing song pop on Facebook with us!

All righty, Henk... here's what I got:

#12 is "Angie" by the Rolling Stones.
#13 is Bette Midler's cover of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy".
#25 is "Cherry Cherry" by Neil Diamond (probably a re-release?)
#42 is "Drift Away" by the late Dobie Gray.

Excellent quiz as usual!

2. I'm Stone in love with you ~ Stylistics
21. Ballroom blitz ~ Sweet
29. Aubrey ~ Bread
31. Hi Hi Hi ~ Paul McCartney & Wings

I'll have to listen through again as one of my guesses had alreaded been warped.  ;D

#4...Rubber Bullets....10cc?
#20...Halo Of Flies....Alice Cooper?
#34...The Night That The Lights Went Out In Georgia....Vikki Lawrence?

Change for my #2.  Stylistics -You'll Never Get to Heaven (If you break my heart)

26. Daddy's home (but I don't know whom did the song, I only know the original.)

43. Elvis - Don't know the song.
44. Al Green? - again, Don't know the song


The rest that I knew, have already been snatched up.  That'll teach me to sleep in.

Great quiz.  Pretty pictures.

Thanks everyone. :) The pictures I used are from previous vacations/holidays (the 2012 ones are yet to follow...)

So far everyone's been right in their guesses.

I only recognize 2 of these ..

32 | Clint Holmes - Playground in My Mind
40 | Jud Strunk - Daisy A Day

Ah, yes. Thanks for the info.

Dang beaten to it.

I don't know any of these songs. They didn't get any radio time in Canada back then (And I'm old enough to remember too)

Australia was in a good position musically. We had our own music scene laced heavily with U.S and European/English hits.

Must get creative & build time machine and go to Australia in 1973 and live my life there so that 40 years later I can do better on this quiz.

At least I know 3 of the 4 artists.

Now ... you're thinking logically.  See ... this site has helped you already!  At this rate ... you'll have to change your name to 'normal'! ;D

Let me guess .. the 3 out of 4 you know are ... The Hollies, Cliff Richard and Suzie Q?

Yes, those 3 are correct. 3 points for you! (oops wrong quiz)
'normal'?  Man..if I'd live in Australia all my life I'd have to change my name to "Electroshock therapy"  ;D

Not sure about the song title, but I believe #45 is by Deep Purple.

Tough luck. :P ;)

But seriously... it happens to me all the time. Dozens of quizzes around here get finished where I didn't know 60-70% of the songs. It's almost inevitable, because plenty of songs that were hits in North America never made it big across the pond, and vice versa. I always try to make a blend (of international hits), but for North Americans I think it's harder (as they usually don't have insight in what is/was big in Europe/Australia).

No worries, there's plenty of songs there I do know. 
Bands/Artists like Slade, Wizzard, Mud, did not even have a song in the top 40 in the US and unless you are somewhat of a music buff, you probably never heard of them , and Suzi Quatro's only top 40 is Stumblin' in.  We missed some good stuff in the early 70s. Then again, there's lots of really good Canadian songs I know that the rest of the world missed out on, so it goes both ways. 

This quiz helps me discover some new music ( new to me) and I like the Hollies song (#6)  better than "Long cool woman", although they sound similar. I'll have to add that to my selection of songs.  I've always enjoyed British music much, much more than music coming from the USA.

Karma +1.

Just for the record: there's quite a few songs in this quiz that I had never heard / heard of before making this quiz. (I have to use songs that I don't know, because about 50% of songs that I know are in Dutch and therefore not suitable. Not sure if people always realize my handicap...)

Not sure about the song title, but I believe #45 is by Deep Purple.


Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not Deep Purple. :(

I've raised the limit to 7.

Lemme see what you got...

#19 James Brown, don't know the song
#22 Lobo ~ It sure took a long long time
#27 Shirley Bassey?
#33 Stories ~ Brother Louie

..and I'm curious to know what #45 is, I like it.

#33 Stories ~ Brother Louie


All correct, apart from #33. Right song, wrong band.


..and I'm curious to know what #45 is, I like it.


This happens to be one of my favorite songs in this quiz too. I can tell you that it only made #39 in US, but it was a #5 hit in The Netherlands. Although the band is from UK, the song didn't chart there.

Since the band for #33 is wrong, I get 1/2 guess.
I'm pretty sure #28 is Nazareth, but I don't know the song even if I were allowed to guess.

It is indeed Nazareth. :)  Didn't really expect anyone to guess that correctly.

And FYI: I'm looking for the original artist for #33 in this case. (Yes, that's right: the Stories' version is a cover!)

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not Deep Purple. :(


It'll come to me, but by someone else. Thanks anyway.

At work presently (so ... not going to put the sound on).  From memory...

#27 the song was Never, Never, Never
#11 Mean Girl - Status Quo
#35 The singer sounds like Sally Carr (from Middle of the Road).
#45  Give Me the Beat - Bill Withers?

Having another listen at this... is 41. Wildflower by Skylark?  I *think* David Foster either wrote the song, or discovered the band... can't remember which now...  :-\\

Correct.

I'll give you Middle of the Road.


#45  Give Me the Beat - Bill Withers?


Nope, sorry. It is a UK band I'm looking for. Not sure how successful they were in Australia.

It is indeed! :)

A  guess on #33, would it be Hot Chocolate?
I know they did it originally

Correctamundo! 8)

Looks like you may be needing some hints for the remaining ones... Some of them were hits only in UK or The Netherlands, I'm afraid.

And there you are...I've added hints.

Please remember the limit is still 7, though! ;)

#3...All Because Of You....Geordie?

#45...Easy Living....Uriah Heep?

Yes, and yes. :)

I wasn't expecting you to need hints for those. ;)

I knew a lot of artist but not songs or a lot of songs and not artist sometimes it takes awhile, and a little nudge, to put
it all together. I turned 50 this year, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I believe I have two more guesses left, and with a nudge but shouldn't've needed.

#23...Giving It All Away....Roger Daltry?
#28...Broken Down Angel....Nazareth?

..and I'm curious to know what #45 is, I like it.


(Bangs forehead) Dang..I actually know that song but forgot all about it..But now I need to get it on my hard drive. Great song.



I turned 50 this year, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.



I have 3 months to go before that milestone. No wonder we seem to like the same type of music.

Well those clues didn't help me too much.  :-\\

#5 Stealers Wheel (but I only know two of their songs ... and that doesn't sound like either of them)
#35 Yellow Boomerang  (needed your clue for that one).

I know a couple more half pointers .. but have to wait for the limit to be lifted.
