Don't Let This Be The End Trivia Quiz

Answer: American Beauty

1970's "American Beauty" by the Grateful Dead features in so many "best album" lists with good reason. While many of their albums are centred around Jerry Garcia, this one saw a much more collaborative effort with Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and "Pigpen" McKernan all taking a turn on lead vocals and lyric writing. "Truckin" was released as a single, but didn't really trouble the charts at all.

Answer: Eclipse

With sales of well over 45 million copies and over 900 weeks on the Billboard charts in USA as well as charting top ten in so many countries, there can't be many people that haven't listened to this album and the spoken word part on "Eclipse" of "There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.

The only thing that makes it look light is the sun", must be one of the most well known lines ever.

Answer: True

Guns N' Roses' debut album from 1987 contained several classic rock tracks of the future, such as "Welcome To The Jungle", "Paradise City" and of course, "Sweet Child O' Mine". "Rocket Queen" has gained infamy in pop culture for being the track where the sounds heard in the musical break of the song are Axl Rose being intimate with drummer Steven Alder's girlfriend in a recording booth.

Answer: Levee

"When The Levee Breaks" is actually a song from 1929, recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Led Zeppelin reworked the track and gave Memphis Minnie a song writing credit on their album. This classic album also includes "Rock and Roll", "Black Dog" and "Stairway To Heaven".

This is the first album I remember playing over and over again, never wanting it to end.

Answer: Blonde On Blonde

This closing track is a love song for Sara Lownds, whom Dylan had married just three months earlier, a fact he referenced in his 1975 song "Sara" when he sang, "Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel, Writin' "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you".

The "Blonde On Blonde" album went top ten in USA and UK and was the first Dylan album to chart in Australia. It contained several songs which have gone on to be thought of as Dylan classics, such as "Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35", "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" and "Just Like a Woman."

Answer: Revolver

The track listing for "Revolver" (1966) almost reads like a greatest hits album, featuring such tracks as "Eleanor Rigby", "Yellow Submarine", "Taxman" and "Got To Get You Into My Life". The final track was written by John Lennon about his experiences with LSD and contain lyrics such as, "Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream", which are taken directly from the book "The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead" (1964) by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzne.

Answer: Slim Slow Slider

It is a sign of how revered an album is, both by artist and fans, when it can be played live in its entirety forty years on from its release, which is exactly what Van Morrison did with "Astral Weeks" on his 2008 - 2009 tour. "Slim Slow Slider" isn't actually about snakes, but is believed to be about a person caught up in the craziness of the world around them, although as Morrison himself has said, "The songs are works of fiction that will inherently have a different meaning for different people."

Answer: Moving Pictures

This great album also contained tracks such as "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight", "Red Barchetta" and "YYZ" and went top ten in USA and UK and hit number one in their native Canada. The track "Vital Signs" marked a departure from the usual Rush sound with its reggae influence, and was released as a single, failing to chart in USA or Canada but reaching number 41 in UK charts.

Answer: Jungle

"Jungleland" closed this incredible album which opened with "Thunder Road" and also featured tracks such as "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out", "She's The One" and the magnificent title track. "Jungleland" is a tender track, opening with a superb violin intro and tells the tale of being in love whilst surrounded by gang violence.

It also features one of the late Clarence Clemons' most emotional saxophone solos.

Answer: The Doors

At almost 12 minutes long and with a spoken word section in the middle, this was a heck of a way to close a debut album, but The Doors pulled it off and the track has entered pop culture history, being used in the 1979 film "Apocalypse Now" as well as sung by Homer in an episode of "The Simpsons".

The band's debut album also included the tracks, "Break On Through (To the Other Side)", "Light My Fire" and their cover of the Howlin' Wolf song, "Back Door Man."
