Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Name the artist who sang 'I've been sittin' here all night trying to make this work out right, I've been getting nowhere fast. '

Answer: Sass Jordan

'Make You a Believer', from Sass's LP, 'Racine' . Interesting mix of music on this one, complete with excellent back up band, lyrics, and Sass Jordan wailing out a number or 2.

2. Name the artist who sings 'Stranglehold'. Ted's baby, but is it Ted singing?

Answer: Derek St. Holmes

Awesome song, though somewhat violent in nature, Derek St. Holmes sings lead.

3. This group performed a cool little number called 'Singring and the Glass Guitar'.

Answer: Utopia

This is a cool album from Utopia (Todd Rundgren) entitled 'RA' .Just leave it to Todd to supply some serious mind candy.

4. Who sings 'Baby's On Fire'?

Answer: Sammy Hagar

This song concerns (High School) love in a Trans Am. Very suggestive but decent, slow cookin' groove from his 'Standing Hampton' LP. After Montrose and before Van Halen, Sammy made his rounds, didn't he?

5. From the same artist mentioned in the previous question, name his song which contains the lyric, 'I've heard it called by different names all over the world but it's all the same.'

Answer: There's Only One Way to Rock

Smokin' tune answering the question, how many ways are there to rock? I've heard this tune covered by various bar bands.

6. Stevie Ray Vaughan sang of 'Walking the Tightrope, bring it all around. Walking the tightrope between the lost and found.' What was this song in reference to?

Answer: Recovering from drug addiction

It's enough to break your heart. After being strung out on cocaine he conqered his demons, started making good music again, looking good, healthy, feeling good naturally. He was killed in a helicopter crash in 1989 after an outdoor festival featuring Eric Clapton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Buddy Guy, etc.

7. Name the song this Styx lyric comes from: 'I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line, I used to think that everything was fine.'

Answer: 'Crystal Ball'

From the LP of the same name, this was the first Styx album to feature Tommy Shaw. He added alot to the band, great vocals and excellent guitar work.

8. This classic Aerosmith tune off of their 1976 LP 'Toys in the Attic' was redone for the blockbuster hit 'Armageddon' ?

Answer: 'Sweet Emotion'

What a smokin' classic! This LP, 'Toys In the Attic' , was Aerosmith's best featuring such rockers as: 'Adams Apple', 'No More No More', 'Sweet Emotion', 'Walk this Way', etc.

9. Another Aerosmith question. Name the song the following lyric comes from: 'Blood stains the ivories on my Daddy's Baby Grand, ain't seen the daylight since we started this Band.'

Answer: No More No More

This rarely played song (on FM) tells of the Rock'n'Roll excess enjoyed (and loathed) by these classic Boston Bad Boys. If you haven't lent an ear to this one, you need to!

10. 'I'm a juvenile product of the working class whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.' What Elton John song is this lyric from?

Answer: 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting

Reggie hit it big with this song. Though I couldn't see him actually fighting anyone. You gotta hand it to him, though, one awesome career!
