Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Rebellious kind of ewe meets on the day for kicking back? ( 5,7 )

Answer: Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath - U.K. rockers from hell. Actually they're quite a mild mannered bunch really, well - excepting Ozzy Osbourne, who seems to be more famous for his off- and onstage antics than his music these days.

2. Confused line, youthful, gets involved with insane equine? (4,5,3,5,5)

Answer: Neil Young And Crazy Horse

Line anagram of Neil, youthful = young, Equine = Horse.
One of my favourite artists. The 'Sleeps With Angels' album is a classic.

3. Go up and down in water with the poet Thomas? ( 3,5 )

Answer: Bob Dylan

Incredible and inventive lyricist, Bob Dylan is without doubt one of the key figures from 20th century music. A major influence on most of the singer songwriters that came after him, i.e. John Lennon,
Neil Young, Donovan, and Van Morrison, to name a few.

4. How theme forgot myself and became confused?

Answer: The Who

Myself = me, take from theme leaving 'how the' confused = The Who
One of the great rock bands of all time, especially in concert.

5. These chaps will certainly never collect lichen? ( 3,7,6 )

Answer: The Rolling Stones

Clue relates to adage 'A rolling stone gathers no moss'. Lichen is a word for a type of moss.
Billed as the 'greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time'. Personally, Led Zeppelin get my vote.

6. Red hoots for re-order as mojo rises? ( 3,5 )

Answer: The Doors

Anagram of red hoots. Mr mojo risin' is an anagram of Jim Morrison (the Doors' lead singer) which he used in the classic song 'L.A. Woman'.

7. Tom's deliciously favourite band? ( 5 )

Answer: Cream

Tom (cat), from the saying 'Like the cat that got the cream'.
Cream was a short-lived but extremely successful and influential 'supergroup' featuring Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass, and Ginger Baker on drums.

8. Mixed up pure teens ring CBS from the streets of Philadelphia? (5,11)

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

Easy one this, anagram of 'pure teens ring cbs' and classic song.

9. Pearly gates man does a Lazarus? ( 5,8 )

Answer: Peter Frampton

Okay, a bit obscure this one! Pearly gates man = Peter (keeper of the gates of heaven). Lazarus is the guy who is brought back from the dead by Jesus - this could be seen as 'comes alive', which relates to the classic live album by Peter entitled 'Frampton Comes Alive', which became one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.

10. The imperial measurement of crows, eagles, doves and hawks, etc. One could say?

Answer: The Yardbirds

The Yardbirds contained through their history three of the most influential guitarists that Britain ever produced, namely, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, the latter going on to form Led Zeppelin from the ashes of The Yardbirds.
