Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which year did The Beatles release their pop masterpiece 'Rubber Soul'?

Answer: 1965

Highlights on the album include 'In My Life' and 'Drive My Car', although the album itself is still found cowering in the shadows of the priceless 'Revolver' and the extraordinary 'Sgt Pepper'.

Answer: Out Of Our Heads

The album also includes the jangle-pop of 'The Last Time', featured in the hippie flick 'Harvest', directed by William Carter.

3. Which song does not appear on Jefferson Airplane's classic album 'Surrealistic Pillow'?

Answer: Won't You Try

The album has since been hailed as a psychedelic masterpiece, which also includes their overplayed classic 'Somebody To Love'.

4. Which city sets the scene for Deep Purple's 'Smoke On The Water'?

The opening lyrics to the song are "We all came down to Montreux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline..." and tells how a fan with a flare burnt down the casino where the band were set to play.

The Guess Who, from Canada, were made famous from their 'American Woman', and others.

6. Who wrote the Beatles song 'Octopus's Garden'?

Answer: Ringo Starr

Ringo also wrote the song 'Don't Pass Me By' on their 1968 epic 'The White Album'. Some Beatles fans state that Ringo's songs are better than anything Lennon and McCartney ever wrote. I MUST disagree.

Answer: 1973

They disbanded three years before Paul Kossoff (guitar) died on a plane from a serious illness relating to his troubled, extensive drug addiction.

8. Which of the following is a Grateful Dead album?

Answer: Aoxomoxoa

Not hailed as one of their greatest, 'Aoxomoxoa' displayed a psychedelic edge which surpassed other West Coast hippie groups of the time, except maybe Jefferson Airplane.

9. Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' features which animal on its cover?

Answer: a Cow

Apparently the band went into the Essex countryside and took one picture of a cow and that picture ended up on the cover. It was that simple

10. Finally...Led Zeppelin. Which LZ song features the lyrics 'I ain't jokin' mama, I've got to ramble. Oh yeah!'?

Answer: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

Led Zeppelin are the pinnacles of early British 'heavy metal' and the biggest rock group to ever grace the planet. Their self-titled debut was released in 1969.
