Ain't Never Been There, They Tell Me It's Nice Quiz

Answer: Buffalo Springfield

Best known for its signature political anthem "For What It's Worth", Buffalo Springfield formed in 1966 in California. Although the original group remained together less than three years, its politically inspired work became a banner among young people growing up in the turbulent 1960s and left lasting influence on subsequent bands and artists. In 2010 and 2011, several surviving members reunited for a brief tour, but the band released no new studio material.

Although Buffalo and Springfield are both well known US cities, the band actually took its name from the company logo on an asphalt roller that was parked in front of a friend's house.

Answer: America

Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley won the Grammy for best new artist in 1972 after their debut album "America" reached number one on the US Billboard charts. The band's successful run during the 1970s produced such hits as "A Horse With No Name", "Sister Golden Hair", and "I Need You" before Peek left the group in 1977. Remaining members continued touring and recording, releasing their seventeenth studio album in 2011.

In 2012, America received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Answer: Ohio

The Ohio Players enjoyed success with "Fire", "Love Rollercoaster" and "Funky Worm", with all three songs charting high on both the Billboard and the R&B charts. Despite numerous changes in lineup, the band kept fans dancing throughout the 1970s and 80s, releasing their final studio album in 1988.

In 2013, they became part of the inaugural class of the R & B Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio.

Answer: Alabama

The band formed in 1969 under the name Wildcountry. Several years later, members moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, where they developed a loyal fan base as the house band in a local nightclub. The 1980 recording "Tennessee River" began a string of number one Billboard hits that would span three decades, making the group one of the top selling country and western acts of all time.

Alabama was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

Answer: Boston

The band's self-titled debut album was released in 1976 and was primarily recorded in Scholz's basement studio. Initial sales broke many records and paved the way for a second album ("Don't Look Back") two years later. Despite several personnel changes and the death in 2007 of lead singer Brad Delp, Boston has continued to tour, releasing a sixth studio album in 2013.

Answer: Nantucket

After several years of touring in the southeastern US, Nantucket released its self-titled debut album in 1978. "Heartbreaker" became a hit single and the band began touring across the US, opening for headliners such as KISS and the Doobie Brothers. Several more albums followed, including a 2011 disc featuring several beach music selections.

Members continue to tour on a regular basis, playing to loyal crowds in their home state and adjoining areas.

Answer: Texas

Texas native Bob Wills was born in 1905 into a musical family, and learned to play several instruments as a child. After several years of appearing on radio shows while traveling throughout the southwestern states, he formed Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 1934. The band went on to national recognition with such hits as "Steel Guitar Rag" and the often covered "Faded Love".

Bob Wills died in 1975 at the age of 70.

Answer: Atlanta Rhythm Section

Former Classics IV members Buddy Buie and J. R. Cobb formed ARS with several Atlanta-area studio musicians in 1970. Originally billed as "southern rock", the band's diverse mixture of blues and pop provided a unique sound that was well received in the Southeast but garnered little attention elsewhere.

After embarking on several nationwide tours with the likes of Bob Seger and Heart, the band recorded the album "Champagne Jam" in 1978, producing several hits and paving the way for a career that spanned over four decades.

Answer: Chicago Transit Authority

Originally known as The Big Thing, the group formed in 1967 and changed its name to Chicago Transit Authority when it signed with Columbia Records the following year. After the city's transit system threatened legal action for use of the name, the band became known as simply Chicago. Famous for its signature sound of horns coupled with the more traditional rock sound of guitar and percussion, Chicago quickly became one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

Despite several changes in lineup and the departure of front man Peter Cetera, the group has continued its success, recording singles in 2013 and announcing plans for the 2014 release of its thirty-sixth album.

Answer: Manassas

Stephen Stills formed Manassas in 1971 after the first split of Crosby, Stills and Nash. The lineup included ex-CSNY drummer Dallas Taylor as well as several former members of The Flying Burrito Brothers. Despite a short tenure (two years) the band produced two albums, the first of which peaked at number four on Billboard charts. The group was also well received at live performances.
Manassas disbanded in 1973, with Hillman briefly reuniting with former band mates from the Byrds and Stills pursuing both a solo career and reunions with David Crosby, Neil Young, and Graham Nash.
