Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who had hits in the 90s with 'Sit Down', Sound' and 'She's a Star'?

Answer: James

Since leaving James, Tim Booth has taken acting lessons, taught dance and written a screenplay. Busy man.

2. One of my favourite bands from Scotland had many hits in the 80s and 90s, they were famous for their feedback during gigs. Their biggest selling hit was 'April Skies'. Which band?

Answer: Jesus and Mary Chain

'Psychocandy' is undoubtedly their masterpiece, but for the uninitiated I'd recommend '21 Songs'.

3. Which female fronted band released these singles back in the 90s? 'Punka', 'In Your Car' and 'I Would Fix You'.

Answer: Kenickie

Lauren Laverne has since carved out a career in the media, hosting "CD:UK", and working at XFM radio.

4. 'There She Goes', 'Timeless Melody' and 'Feelin'. Which band had these hits?

Answer: The La's

Lee Mavers is probably best remembered for being an eccentric perfectionist, scrapping numerous versions of their debut album. The La's made a surprise return in 2005, notably playing Glastonbury Festival.

5. Which notorious short-lived band had these hits: 'What a Waster', 'Up The Bracket' and 'Can't Stand Me Now'?

Answer: The Libertines

Pete Doherty and Carl Barat formed The Libertines in the late 90s, becoming well known in 2004; it wasn't long before Pete's drug problems caused rifts in the band.

6. 'Mad Love' and 'For Love' Which band released these EP's in the 90s?

Answer: Lush

Lush were formed in 1988 by Steve Rippon, Emma Anderson, Mariel Barham, Chris Acland and Miki Berenyi. They signed to 4AD and released 'Scar'. They were one of the best selling bands in the 'Shoe Gazing' genre.

7. Cerys Matthews released her 'Cockahoop' album in 2003. Which band did she sing for before she left to go solo?

Answer: Catatonia

A fantastic album that was largely ignored by the general public.

8. Can you remember which was Morrissey's first solo hit after The Smiths disbanded?

Answer: Suedehead

Suedehead reached number five in the UK charts back in 1988. It's hard to believe Morrissey's solo career has lasted longer than The Smiths.

9. Can you name the My Bloody Valentine album that was nearly three years in the making, almost bankrupting their record label?

Answer: Loveless

It was only the success of Primal Scream's album 'Screamadelica' that saved Creation records from going bankrupt.

Answer: Oasis

Love them or loathe them, you can't deny they have staying power!
