Rock band Deep Purple has been rocking since 1967. The band is more known for their albums than singles, although they did chart with "Black Night" in 1970, reaching number two on the UK singles chart. It is widely accepted that the band's best line-up was Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice. Among the band's best albums are "Deep Purple in Rock" from 1970 and "Machine Head" in 1972.
3. "Hello, darkness, my old friend" is a line from whom?

Answer: Simon and Garfunkel

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel first joined forces as Tom and Jerry between 1956 and 1958. After a short layoff, the pair returned under the new name of Simon and Garfunkel. "Hello, darkness, my old friend" is a line from the song "The Sound of Silence." Paul Simon wrote the original acoustic version of the song, which was made available to the public in 1965.

The duo were very successful from 1965 until 1970 with songs like "Mrs. Robinson," "Bridge over Troubled Water," "Homeward Bound," and "I Am a Rock.". Due to disagreements about the music style and arrangements, the duo disbanded in 1970.
4. Who recorded the song "Nightswimming"?

Answer: R.E.M.

"Nightswimming" was released in 1993. The flip side of the 7" vinyl was a live recording of "Losing My Religion," which was an acoustic version. The song was written as a collaboration between Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe. Michael Stipe was the lead singer for the band. R.E.M. were active between 1980 and 2011.

The last studio album from the band was titled "Collapse into Now," released in 2011. A single from the album, "We All Go Back to Where We Belong," was also the band's final single release.
5. "Spirit in the Dark" was sung by what female artist?

Answer: Aretha Franklin

"Spirit in the Dark" is a track taken from Aretha Franklin's 17th studio album of the same name. The album and the single were both released in 1970. It's been said many times that Aretha Franklin was the "Queen of Soul." Who could really argue with that statement? In her career spanning over sixty years, Aretha released 39 studio albums and over 100 singles. Who can't remember her massive hit "Respect" from 1965?
6. Who was the female who sang "Dark Side"?

Answer: Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson was the first winner of "American Idol" in 2002. Since she won the competition, Kelly has become a very popular solo artist. The single "Dark Side" is featured on Kelly's fifth album, "Stronger." The song hit the top spot on the US Dance Club Songs Billboard. The genre for the song was synth-pop "synthesiser," but not as full-blown as some of the 1970s and 1980s sounds.
7. Can you tell me the name of the male solo artist who performed the song "Conversations in the Dark"?

Answer: John Legend

"Conversations in the Dark" was made available in 2020. You could have a choice of two versions of the song: a solo single by John Legend on January 10th or a re-mixed version on February 14th with David Guetta. David Guetta is a French DJ and record producer.

The song was also on John's eighth studio album, "Bigger Love," also released in 2020. The album had more success than the single, reaching number one on the UK R&B Albums Chart and number 19 on the US Billboard 200. The single "Conversations in the Dark" only reached number 21 on the US Adult Contemporary Billboard.
8. "Dark Necessities" was performed by what rock band?

Answer: Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles in 1982. Of the original line-up, only Kiedis and Flea remain. The American rock group has sales to support its reputation as one of the best rock groups in the world. "Dark Necessities" is featured on the band's eleventh studio album, "The Getaway," released in the same year (2016). Chart-wise, the single went to number one on the US Rock Airplay (Billboard), US Mainstream Rock.

Anthony Kiedis is one of the founders of the band and the lead singer. Flea, real name Michael Peter Balzary, is the band's bassist and also a founding member.
9. "Darkness" was a 2020 song by what solo singer?

Answer: Eminem

American rapper Eminem released "Darkness" as a single off of his eleventh studio album, "Music to Be Murdered By." The style of music is known as "Horrorcore," which is a new one for me! "Horrorcore" is a type of hip-hop music centred on horror-themed and frequently darkly subversive lyrical content and images. It is also known as horror hip-hop, horror rap, death hip-hop, death rap, or murder rap. Its roots can be seen in the lyrics of several hardcore hip-hop and gangsta rap acts.

The album and the single were both released on the same date. The single went to number eight on the US Rolling Stone Top 100 and stalled at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart. The album, however, was more of a commercial success, reaching number one on several charts around the world.
10. "The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole." Who performed these lyrics?

Answer: Ariana Grande

American singer Ariana Grande and American rapper Nicki Minaj released a promotional track called "The Light Is Coming" in support of Grande's fourth studio album, "Sweetener." The single was released on June 20, 2018, while the album was released on July 17, 2018.

"The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole" is part of the chorus sung by Ariana Grande. Nicki Minaj penned the song's introduction, and Ariana Grande and Pharrell Williams, the producer, co-wrote the song.
