Classic Rock Miscellaneous Trivia Quiz

Answer: George Harrison

In order from the first to the last born, we have Ringo Starr (July 7th, 1940), John Lennon (October 9th, 1940), Paul McCartney (June 18th, 1942) and finally, George Harrison (February 25th, 1943).

Answer: 1978

The only offering we got from them in '78 was "Hemispheres" and it was their fourth consecutive gold album. Rush released "Fly By Night" and "Caress of Steel" in 1975 (both studio efforts). The following year, they put out "2112" (studio) and "All the World's a Stage" (live). Finally, in 1981, we got "Moving Pictures" (studio) and "Exit...Stage Left" (live).

The track listing, in order, looks like this:

1. "Black Dog"
2. "Rock and Roll"
3. "The Battle of Evermore"
4. "Stairway to Heaven"
5. "Misty Mountain Hop"
6. "Four Sticks"
7. "Going to California"
8. "When the Levee Breaks"

Answer: Dennis

He was born Dennis Eugene McCrohan in Ontario, Canada on April 21st, 1943. Gerald, his brother, was also in the band as the drummer. It's worth noting that they both changed their surnames to Edmonton in the early 1960's before the band was officially called Steppenwolf.

Answer: One Of These Nights

The song, of course, is "Lyin' Eyes" and was the second single on the album. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Top 100 only behind Elton John's "Island Girl". Don Henley also helped write the song.

Answer: The Moody Blues

Unlike the rest of the bands that backed out at the last minute, the Moody Blues were supposed to be one of the key attractions, as they were on the original Wallkill poster. But they were booked in Paris that same weekend and declined. CCR and Mountain performed on Saturday and Blood, Sweat and Tears performed Sunday.

Answer: The Decibels

This was a tricky one for those that aren't hardcore fans of Seger. He joined the Decibels in his sophomore year of High School in 1961. It was there that he wrote his first two songs, "The Lonely One" and "Jackie the Thief". The former of the two tracks was the first Seger song to ever hit the radio.

His first label came with "The Last Heard" (Cameo-Parkway) before going out of business.

Answer: I'm In Love With My Car

'39 was the B-side to "You're My Best Friend", "White Man" was the B-side to "Somebody to Love" and "You and I" was the B-side to "Tie Your Mother Down". The song, like a lot of Queen's work, was thought of as a joke more than anything else. Freddie Mercury actually refused to sing the lead vocals in it, so Roger Taylor handled them instead.

Answer: Meat Loaf

This was probably one of the easier questions you've seen on this quiz. "Bat Out of Hell" (1977) is 14x platinum here in America and 7x platinum in the UK. Elton John's Greatest Hits from 1974 is more than 17x platinum, Journey's Greatest Hits from 1988 is over 15x platinum and the Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits (1974-78) is 13x platinum.

But none of those three have a studio album that's even hit 10x platinum yet.

Answer: 5

"Don't Look Back" (1978)
"Third Stage" (1986)
"Walk On" (1994)
"Corporate America" (2002)

Judging by this pattern, we were all expecting an album by 2010 since they started a trend of releasing one every eight years. But Brad Delp unfortunately passed in 2007 due to apparent suicide that involved a charcoal grill. He left a note that his fiancee found that stated "I'm a lonely soul." We will all miss him dearly. A new album was released in 2013

Thanks to all who took my quiz and I hope you learned something new today. Keep rocking out!
