Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I picked up an album at a local music store and it shows a prism and a line of colors going through it. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Pink Floyd

Probably the most famous Pink Floyd album was "Dark Side Of The Moon". Released in 1973, this hit album contains hit songs like "Money" and "Us and Them". If you listen, the very beginning of the album are heartbeats, and the very end of the album are heartbeats. Pretty cool. I can't tell you how many times I see the "Dark Side Of The Moon" cover design on people's shirts these days!
2. I pick up another album and find myself looking at a picture of a young looking kid with angel wings, smoking a pack of cigarettes! What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Van Halen

This classic album "1984" by Van Halen was released in 1984 (no duh). It has some of their greatest hits, including "Hot For Teacher" and my personal favorite "Jump", with great keyboard and guitar work. Did you know that Eddie Van Halen played the guitar AND the keyboards in this song? Beautiful work by Mr. Van Halen (don't get me wrong, Alex Van Halen did good on the drums, too).
3. I see the next one from a mile away. It looks scary, but once I pick it up, I see a man with a sword moving forward in slow motion, with an attack pose on. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Black Sabbath

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath may look scary... but don't judge an album by its cover. This album is probably their most recognized, with hits like "Paranoid" and "Iron Man". This album was when Ozzy Osbourne was still their lead singer.
4. You pick up another album, and it's very weird looking. It shows four men standing in front of a tall rectangle that looks like a tomb or a grave. The setting is out in a desert area. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: The Who

"Who's Next" is the most famous Who album. With hits like "Behind Blue Eyes", "Baba O Riley", "My Wife", "Bargain", and the show stopping "Won't Get Fooled Again", WHO can go wrong with this album. This album was released in 1971 and was chosen as the 28th greatest album of all time by the editors of the "Rolling Stone" magazine.

This album is my favorite out of all the music albums I own. Heck, I made a whole quiz about it.
5. You pick up another album, this one showing a man selling a tasty food on the street in his portable vending stand. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Steely Dan

"Pretzel Logic" is one of the many albums from Steely Dan. Some popular songs from the album are "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Barrytown", and "Any Major Dude Will Tell You". It was released in 1974.
6. You move on to another rack where you pick up an album. It shows small steep hills and rocks. But it also shows naked kids on the rocks, playing and sleeping and doing much more. Is this some kind of sick band, or is it just one of the many mysteries that this band has yet to reveal? What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Led Zeppelin

This is probably my favorite band of all time. Led Zeppelin has changed rock forever with the immortal Jimmy Page's beautiful guitar work, Robert Plant's vocals, John Paul Jones' bass and keyboards, and the late, the great John Bonham on drums. The album which is mentioned is called "Houses Of The Holy", Zeppelin's fifth studio album, which features hits like "Song Remains The Same", "No Quarter", and "The Ocean".
7. You move on to the next aisle where you pick up an album with lots of people on the front cover. Actually, famous celebrities' cutouts are standing in the background while four people dressed in revolutionary clothes with instruments stand in front of a grave that is honoring a person in the military/navy/army. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: The Beatles

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was a hit for the Beatles, and probably the most recognized album cover too (along with the "Abbey Road" album, thanks to the controversial story of how Paul McCartney was dead). Released in 1967, some hits on the album were "A Day In Life", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".

A great album from a great band.
8. You pick up another album that is a little unusual also. It shows a picture of the artist sitting in a bed with lots of pillows and sheets. There's something that does catch your eye... a scary looking mask sits on the pillow. Who plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Billy Joel

"The Stranger" was a popular album from Billy Joel, including many worthy hits like "The Stranger", "Moving Out (Anthony's Song)", "Only The Good Die Young", "She's Always A Woman", "Just The Way You Are", and "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant". Wow, a lot of great songs on one album! If you can only buy one Billy Joel album, this one is it.
9. You pick up another album. You look at it. There are no words on the front, instead a picture of a man harvesting his crops. Hmm, I wonder why there is no name of the band. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Led Zeppelin

I thought I would trick you by putting another Zep question on my quiz. Well it is my favorite band. This is the famous no title album from Led Zeppelin, technically called "Four Symbols" but a lot of people call it "Led Zeppelin 4". Due to complaints that the third album's title was satanic, the band decided to leave the fourth album with no name.

It is probably their most popular and best album, with hits including "Black Dog", "Rock And Roll", "When The Levee Breaks", and the mother of all Led Zeppelin songs "Stairway To Heaven".

As you may know, many believe, including Christians, that if you play "Stairway To Heaven" backwards, it reveals a message supporting Satan. Of course, Zeppelin denies this. Led Zeppelin came out with nine studio albums (if you count "Coda" album).
10. I decided to buy an album that I like. When I pick it up, the cover shows palm trees and the sun setting. It also shows a building that looks like a hotel. What band plays the music on the album I'm looking at?

Answer: Eagles

Maybe it was the Philadelphia sports that gave it away? The Eagles album was titled "Hotel California" and included hits "Life In The Fast Lane" and of course "Hotel California". "Hotel California" is a very odd song about spirits living in a hotel.

But I still enjoy the song and many others did as it hit Number one in the US Charts. I hope you enjoyed my quiz. And remember to rock out loud!
