Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Four men are walking across a pedestrian crossing in Britain. Name the album.

Answer: Abbey Road

This Beatles' album cover was one of the contributing factors to the start of the "Paul is Dead" theory. Even if it sounds crazy, it's fun to look at the "clues". For example, on this album, Paul is barefoot (the dead are buried without shoes) and the licence plate on the Beetle says "28IF" (Paul's age at that time was 28 when the album was made).

2. A large yellow banana on a white background. Name the band.

Answer: The Velvet Underground

On the cover of "The Velvet Underground & Nico", there is small font next to the banana that says, "Peel Slowly and See". When the original vinyl was released, there was a sticker on the inside that you could peel off a banana. It covered a pink banana.

3. A black and white picture of a man smashing his guitar, with pink and green letters that say the album name. Name the album.

Answer: London Calling

By The Clash, it is widely regarded as on of the greatest punk albums of all time. A man in Britain in 2003 was detained by customs officials when he was reported to be singing the song "London Calling" in a taxi on the way to the airport. He was questioned for two hours as a suspected terrorist, but was eventually released and made his flight.

4. A group of men are feeding goats. Name the band.

Answer: The Beach Boys

"Pet Sounds", yet another one of the greatest albums of all time, it was recorded when the Beach Boys were inspired by The Beatles' "Rubber Soul". Inspired by "Pet Sounds", The Bealtes recorded "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

If you look carefully at the pillar, there are dark streaks near the bottom. The members of the band appear to have urinated on it. However, they were not allowed too, so rain water was poured on to give the effect.

9. A large guitar UFO-like with its search lights in a valley. Name the band.

Answer: Boston

This UFO is a staple to Boston's album's. If you examine some of the band's other albums, it becomes clear that the UFO is actually a guitar. You can see the neck and the frets in the distance.

10. Two men are shaking hands in the middle of a street, one of them is on fire. Name the album.
