She was born Sheena Shirley Orr in Bellshill, Scotland on April 27, 1959. This made her a bit too old when she tried to audition for the part of an orphan in a production of "Annie" in the 1970's.

20. In the name of the band, who or what is "Echo" widely perceived to relate to?

From Quiz Echo and the Bunnymen

Answer: A Drum Machine

Many quizzes regard the "drum machine" answer as gospel, yet the band have always denied this, saying it was taken from a friend of the band who always came up with stupid names. The former answer is now part of folklore though, and it's unlikely the band will ever shake it off. The reason I chose the other answers? Well, Ian McCulloch was the band's frontman, so I thought some people may have presumed he was "Echo"; I chose the "vocal effect" option because you can put echo on your voice when recording, and finally the local Liverpool newspaper is, of course, The Echo.

21. Which band did Brian Eno play in, prior to going solo?

From Quiz Brian Eno - Father of Ambient Music

Answer: Roxy Music

Eno played the synthesizer in English art rock band Roxy Music from 1971 to 1973 before going solo. He played on their eponymous debut released in 1972 and on their second album, 'For Your Pleasure', released in 1973.

23. What European country is Epica from?

From Quiz All About Epica

Answer: The Netherlands

After Forever, Within Temptation, and The Gathering are other Dutch bands similar to Epica

24. How many versions of the song "I'm Blue" appear on the CD?

There is the original song, which is the first track on the CD. The extended version is the final track.

25. What song are these lyrics from? "Every time I hear your voice My water just gets cold My stoker will not stoke And my boiler will not boil"

From Quiz Songs of Fred Eaglesmith

Answer: Freight Train

"Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I was a diesel locomotive I'd come whistlin' down your track Crashin' in your door Wish I was a freight train baby Wish I didn't have a heart And you'd need a shovel for the coal Just to get me started" Kasey Chambers has covered this song. When I was looking through song lists to get alternate answer options for this question, it only took me about two minutes. It's very easy to come up with Fred Eaglesmith songs about trains.
