I Got My Eye On You Trivia Quiz

Answer: T.V. Eye

"T.V. Eye" is the punkiest track on the Stooges' second album, "Fun House", which is one of the best records ever made. The Stooges were one of the bands that influenced the punk movement immensely. Their lead singer, Iggy Pop, is often referred to as 'the Godfather of Punk'.

Answer: Eyeball in my Martini

"Eyeball in my Martini" was on the Cramps' fifth official full length album, "Look Mom No Head". The Cramps were of enormous value for the revival of trashy old rock'n'roll. Without them there would have been no psychobilly movement, no Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and no bands like the 5.6.7.8's (see 'Kill Bill Vol.1').

Answer: Duel

"Duel (Eye To Eye)" was released in 1985. Propaganda had a few more minor hits with "P-Machinery" and "Dr. Mabuse" and then refused to know their place and go away; plodding on into the early 90s.

Answer: The Eyes Of Texas

"The Eyes of Texas" was a track on the self titled debut album of The Masters Of Reality, released in 1988. The band took their name from a Black Sabbath album, which you can hear in their music. Now Masters Of Reality is mainly a solo project for producer/singer/guitarist Chris Goss, with rotating personnel. Goss worked as producer for Auf Der Maur, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Soulwax and The Magnificent Bastards. Masters Of Reality was one of the first so-called "stoner rock" bands.

Answer: The Muffs

The Muffs were a garage band from L.A. Their first, self titled, album was released in 1993. It was a lot of fun. Then they blew it, went soft and refused to go away. The Pears was a shortlived American punkrock band, who released one single, as far as I know.

The Slits were one of the most important bands from the English '77 punk generation. And the Hooters were a bunch of ugly blokes that got played a few times on MTV.

Answer: Evil Eye

"Evil Eye" was on their 1989 album with the title that cannot be mentioned on funtrivia.com. It begins with "Dial M"; look up the rest yourself. Pussy Galore featured Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion), Neil Haggerty (Royal Trux), Julia Cafritz (Free Kitten, Action Swingers) and Bob Bert (ex-Sonic Youth, Chrome Cranks).

Answer: Eye of the Storm

Underground Resistance featured DJ Jeff Mills, "Mad" Mike Banks and Robert "Noise" Hood. Mills went solo to great acclaim. Mad Mike is keeping the Underground going, but his The Martian project is quite a bit more interesting. Robert Noise also keeps himself quite busy, releasing at least one record every year.

Answer: Dogbowl

"Blue Eyes" was on the Dogbowl album "Tit (An Opera)", which was released in 1989. Dogbowl is the pseudonym for one Stephen Tunney, who used to be the guitarist in King Missile. King Missile used to be a really great band.

Answer: The Wedding Present

The "Blue Eyes" 7" was backed with a cover of The Go-Betweens' "Cattle And Cane". Wedding Present singer David Gedge once got hit in the face by Courtney Love, for the crime of 'knowing Steve Albini'. Or so I've heard.

Answer: The Residents

The Residents didn't always wear the eyeballs. In the beginning they used bags, newspapers and sea animals to obscure their identities. Only by the time of their 1979 album "Eskimo" did they resort to wearing eyeballs. Which they still do.
