Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hey everybody, I'm Mukpup, which is actually short for the group Mucky Pup. My favorite band of all time is an unorthodox marriage of surf music and punk rock. The 2006 documentary, loudQUIETloud, is about this group's 2004 reunion tour. Where is my mind?
2. Hey, everybody, I'm Spaudrey, a mashup of my wife and my names; I am the Sp- part (Spence). I've been listening to so much music since before high school, I have several favorites. The one who has stayed with me from the beginning will forever be associated with New York City. My favorite song of his, "Miami 2017", came from "Turnstiles", an early album in his career. Who is this singer?
3. I'm carmeller; my username is a play off my real name! There's a special place in my heart for a Boston trio that was led by the late Mark Sandman. This band's signature "low rock" sound was a result of its unusual combination of instruments - drums, saxophone, and two-string bass. "Cure for Pain" was perhaps one of their more well-known albums. Who is it?
4. Hello everyone, I'm Zeitgeist2011. I was a big fan of this band but couldn't yet drive in 1967, so I convinced my older brother to take me along to see one of HIS favorite groups, Herman's Hermits, seeing that MY favorite group was opening for them. I suppose I could have just taken the magic bus. What future headlining musical act opened for Herman's Hermits, creating a rather unique double billing in 1967?
5. Hi, I'm Duchess716 (my birthday). My pick is a Midwest rock band formed at the University of Illinois in 1967. Their first breakthrough album was 1n 1977 "You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tuna Fish". Their top forty album came three years later, "Hi Infidelity". Which is it?
6. Hi gang, I'm spxmet2! My guys come from "NorCal" and are considered by many of the newer hard rock bands to be not just one of the best heavy metal bands, but one of the best bands of the time. 16 Grammy wins out of 18 nominations and 13 multi-platinum records don't disprove that theory. Their breakout album was self-titled, but many refer to it as the "Black Album". What band is it?
7. Hello, BDOWNING here. My favorite band came out of San Francisco in the late 1960's. Most of the fame for the band comes out of the lead singer. Some have called the lead singer Maurice (WA-AAH, WA-OWWW), but what should you call the band collectively?
8. Zeitgeist here. I have an eclectic band to put on the list here of Midwest Players' favorite musical artists. I can't pinpoint the style of their music other than to say it isn't something you can pigeonhole. They had big hit albums-no, scratch that, they had ALBUMS such as "Freak Out!", "Mothermania" and "Uncle Meat". The head of the group would go on to a solo career that garnered similar cult success, and he would also foster the fledgling careers of his children Moon and Dweezil. What was the name of this group?
9. Hey, everyone, I'm Smartacus. My favorite band formed in 1967 as a blues band. But they are primarily known for their more pop stylings of the 1970's, an alternative to the disco of the era. The band is included in millions of music lover's album collections most specifically for a mega-album released in 1977, an album that dealt with the personal relationship meltdowns of some of the band members. That pain expressed in song created the album that has sold more than forty million copies worldwide. What band is it?
10. JMElston, Team Leader, checking in here. I prefer the music of the '60s and '70s. Several of my favorite artists have already been mentioned by my team mates. One of my favorite groups formed in 1967 in the Midwest. They are still releasing albums, although their personnel has changed over the years. I'll remember them for "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and "Wishing You Were Here" among other hits. Who are they?
