Answer: Super Furry Animals

From the album 'Fuzzy Logic', recorded in 1996. The Super Furry Animals became one of a number of indie bands to hail from Wales, including the Stereophonics, Catatonia, and Gorkys Zygotic Mynci.
2. Who wanted to be a 'Boatman'?

Answer: The Levellers

Taken from the amazing 'Levelling the Land' album. The Levellers were known for their strong political beliefs, which are reflected in songs on their albums. However, many music critics slated the band for having a 'hippy' image, making comments about 'dogs on string'.
3. Which of the following was NOT recorded by Gomez?

Answer: 'Watching Xanadu'

Recorded by the Mull Historical Society from the album 'Loss'. Gomez found fame after winning the 1998 Mercury music prize for their first album, 'Bring it On'. This was followed up by another successful album, 'Liquid Skin'. The latest two albums, 'Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline', which was a remix album, and the recently released 'In our Gun', have unfortunately not enjoyed as much success.
4. 'In number 69 there lives a transvestite, he's a man by day but he's a woman at night' Lines from which space song?

Answer: 'Neighbourhood'

Jamie from Space famously had a breakdown and disappeared for a time. This, along with lead singer Tommy losing his voice, led to a number of gigs having to be cancelled, and eventually led to the band not recording anymore. However, the band enjoyed previous success with two albums, 'Spiders' and 'Tin Planet'.

They also recorded 'Ballad of Tom Jones' with Catatonia front woman Cerys Matthews.
5. Who had the 'Bends' in 1995?

Answer: Parklife

Blur have been around since the early 90's with the release of their first single 'There's no Other Way'. However, it was the album 'Parklife' which shot the band to fame.
