Rock and Roll Fifth Albums Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Joshua Tree

U2 became one of the most popular rock bands in the world in 1987 when they released "The Joshua Tree," which has been certified diamond in the U.S., 14 times platinum in New Zealand, nine times platinum in the UK, diamond in Canada, and at least platinum in at least ten other countries.

One notable song is "Where the Streets Have No Name," which charted at number 13 in the U.S., number four in the UK, and number one in New Zealand and Ireland. Bono wrote the song after reading that in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a person's religion can be known by what street that he or she lives on. The narrator dreams of a world where this isn't possible and everybody will be looked at the same way and treated the same way.

Another notable song is "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which charted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and also in Ireland, and it also charted in ten other countries. The song is about a man who has gone through a lot of trouble to win over the girl of his dreams, but even though he has finally kissed her, it didn't bring him eternal happiness like he though it would. Eternal happiness is what he is looking for.

Another notable song is "With or Without You," a single that has been certified at least gold in seven countries. This song expands on a famous phrase said by philosopher Desiderius Erasmus: "Women: can't live with them. Can't live without them." It's common for men to feel miserably because of things their girlfriends or wives do (spend all their money, boss them around, etc.). However, when those women are not around, those men feel sad now that they're deprived of intercourse and of female companionship. So either way, men are doomed to suffer over something.

Another notable song is "One Tree Hill," which charted at number one in New Zealand. This song is about the death of one of U2's roadies, who died in a car accident in New Zealand.

Answer: Hotel California

The "Hotel California" album is a concept album about the lives of people who come to Los Angeles looking for fame and fortune, and has sold over 32 million copies worldwide. It has been certified 26 times platinum in the United States, diamond and Canada and France, and at least platinum in ten other countries.

The most notable song on the album is of course the title song, which charted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the Canada top singles charts, and charted in the top ten in ten different countries. The single has been certified platinum for digital downloads in five different countries. The song isn't actually about a hotel. The "Hotel California" symbolizes the entire city of Los Angeles. People move to Los Angeles hoping to become famous in the entertainment industry. At first it seems wonderful. However, arguably the most iconic line in the whole song is the last line: "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave." People who spend all their money to travel to Los Angeles and don't get the fame and fortune they are seeking can't go home because they have spent all the their money and can't afford any more plane tickets.

Another notable song is "New Kid in Town," which charted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the Canada top singles charts and charted in the top 20 in seven other countries. On the surface, it's about a man who's in love with his girlfriend, but now the girl is paying attention to a new man named Johnny. Actually, the lyrics are metaphorical. The song is about how Eagles had become the most popular rock band in America, but they also new that someone else would come along and surpass them in popularity.

Another notable song is "Life in the Fast Lane," which charted at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It's about a romantic couple who are having a lot of fun together with sex, parties, drugs, etc, all the time. They enjoy it for a while, but it takes a toll on their health and their bank account.

Another notable song is "The Last Resort," the B-side of the "Life in the Fast Lane" single. It's a song about the destruction of the environment: rich men cutting down trees to build buildings. It's also about a woman who moves from Rhode Island to California because she'd heard about how great California was, but then she learns it's not as great as she had been told it was.

Answer: Brothers in Arms

The single has been certified gold in four countries. This song won a Grammy award. This song is famous in part for Sting singing "I want my MTV" at the beginning of the song. Songwriter Mark Knofler wrote this song while he was in a hardware store and he overheard one of the workers insulting famous rock musicians. The worker said that while he works long hours to make very little money, rock stars make lots of money and get lots of female fans for not doing very much. While in the store, Knofler borrowed some paper and wrote the song. He tried to write the song using the language that the worker was using. The language ended up offending some people and in 2011, Canada banned the unedited version of the song because of the language. Knofler said that he didn't mean any harm, he was just using the language that the worker in the store was using.

Another notable song is "Walk of Life," which charted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one in Ireland, number two in the UK and South Africa, and it also charted in at least ten other countries. It's about a street musician who plays old songs in the streets and tries to make money doing so. This song actually mentions the names of some of these songs in the lyrics, including Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-a-Lula," Ray Charles' "What'd I Say," Ray Charles' "I've Got a Woman," and Robert Nighthawk's "Sweet Lovin' Woman." The intro of "Walk of Life" was used at the beginning of the pilot episode of the TV show "Young Sheldon."

Another notable song is "So Far Away," which charted at number 19 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and also charted in at least ten other countries. It's about a man who talks to his girlfriend on the phone but he rarely sees her and that makes him unhappy.

Another notable song is the title song, a single which has been certified gold in the UK and Denmark. This is an anti-war song inspired by the Falkland War. It's sung from the point of view of a dying soldier. The moral of the song is in the last line of the song "We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms."

The song won two Grammy awards for "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year." He wrote the song for his first wife. After they divorced, he stopped playing it live for nearly 15 years. Sometimes, drummer Liberty DeVito would sing alternate lyrics in the chorus as a joke, such as "She got the house. She got the car."

Another notable song is "Only the Good Die Young," which charted at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song is about a Catholic girl who is refusing to have sex with her boyfriend because her religion says she can't do so until she is married.

Another notable song is "Moving Out (Anthony's Song)," which charted at number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song is a criticism of people who work extra long hours so they get can their dream house and dream car. The point of the song is to tell people that you don't need these things, and they're not worth the extra hours you work. Just work less and enjoy life. The sound of a car starting at the end of the song is a real car that belonged to bassist Doug Stegmeyer.

Another notable song is "She's Always a Woman," a song that has charted in different countries in different years. It charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 17 in 1977. It charted in Belgium, Canada, and Holland in 1978. It charted in Ireland and the UK in 1986, in Italy in 2007, and in Austria in 2011.

Answer: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" is a concept album about an androgynous bisexual alien who is sent to Earth to warn its citizens of a disaster that will end the world soon. He ends up getting everyone to love him, but then his fans end up killing him. This album charted in the top five on the UK album chart in 1972 and at number 75 on the US Billboard 200 in 1973. The album got a lot of attention in 2016, the year of Bowie's death. That year, it rose to number 21 on the U.S. Billboard 2000 and it charted in the top 40 in ten different countries.

One notable song is "Five Years." In this song, Ziggy has come to Earth to inform the citizens that the world will end in five years.

Another notable song is "Ziggy Stardust." In this song, the alien, who is the lead singer of a band called "The Spiders From Mars" has become more popular than the rest of his bandmates. His bandmates get fed up with his ego and they desert him and let him get murdered by a group of kids. Some people believe that David Bowie wrote this song about himself. He was in fact at one time the lead singer of a band called "The Spiders From Mars."

Another notable song is "Suffragette City." In this song, the alien is telling a man that he can't make love to him at the moment because he's currently exploring his sexual interest in women. "Suffragette" is a term that refers to the right to vote: it's what women called themselves when they fought for the right to vote in the early twentieth centruy.

Another notable song is "Rock and Roll Suicide." In this song, the alien has decided that he doesn't like the lifestyle of being a rock and roll musician. It seems like it's only his lover that saves him from suicide. The title was quoted in KISS's 1989 song "The Steet Giveth and the Street Taketh Away." Also quoted in that KISS song is "Hey man," a phrase that appears a lot in "Suffragette City," which suggests that KISS may have been paying tribute to David Bowie and this album.

Answer: Speaking in Tongues

Talking Heads were pioneers of a subgenre of rock music called New Wave, which emerged in the early 1980s. It combines synthesizers with punk rock and art rock music. This style of music is still popular to this day. The band Radiohead got their name from a Talking Heads song. Pearl Jam's "Gigaton" album was an attempt to sound like Talking Heads. Arcade Fire cite Talking Heads as an influence and you can really hear it on their song "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)," which I thought was a Talking Heads song the first time I heard it. Other bands that have cited Talking Heads as an influence include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Modest Mouse, and Franz Ferdinand.

Their breakthrough album was "Speaking in Tongues," which went platinum in the U.S. One noteworthy song from it is "Burning Down the House," which charted at number nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Bassist Tina Weymouth said this song started out as a jam. During the jam, drummer Chris Frantz repeatedly shouted "Burn down the house." From there, the song evolved into a full song and a big hit.

Another noteworthy song is "Girlfriend is Better." The live version was released as a single charted at number 99 on the UK Singles chart and also charted in Australia and New Zealand. The live album, "Stop Making Sense," was named after a lyric in the song.

Another noteworthy s0ong is "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)," which charted at number 62 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 52 on the UK Singles Chart. In the liner notes of the greatest hits album, Feymouth said that this song began with the band jamming with multiple different kinds of synthesizers. She called this "Naive experimentation," which is where the part in parentheses comes from. David Byrne describes this as the first love song that he wrote.

Another noteworthy song is "Slippery People." This was on "Stop Making Sense" and was also frequently played at David Byrne's solo shows. The song's message is to not judge anybody who behaves strangely because God will be okay with it. The lyrics mention Ezekiel's wheels from the Bible.

Answer: The Hazards of Love

The Decemberists are one of my favorite bands of all time. They mix folk music with other genres, such as Jethro Tull-style progressive rock music, country music, synth-pop music, and Middle Eastern style music. Most of their songs tell stories. Throughout their career, manyof their stories are told within one song. Most of their albums are a collection of short stories via song.

"The Hazards of Love" is one long story told via 14 songs (plus three instrumentals). The narrator of the story is also the villain, known as "The Rake."

The story begins with a faun named William (his name is only mentioned in the booklet that came with the album) and a nun named Margaret meeting each other at Offa's Wall. They have intercourse, then she goes back to the nunnery while he stays in the forest. One of the other nuns notices that she is pregnant. So she goes into the woods to find him. They spend a night together as he confesses his love to her.

His mother, the queen, sees this and she is not happy. She scolds him for being with another woman and for being ungrateful for everything he's done for her. He makes a deal with the queen that he and Margaret will spend one night together, then he'll leave Margaret forever and spend the rest of his life with the queen. She accepts and tells him that she is going to hold him to the deal.

After an interlude, we get introduced to the rake. He got married so he could have all the intercourse he wanted, but he didn't want any babies. He had four babies. The fourth one died while she was being born and the mother died while giving birth to that baby. The rake killed the other three babies and was happy. He then abducted Margaret. The queen helped him get Margaret to the other side of the river. William made a deal with the river to let him cross it once and the river can kill him when he comes back. Just as the rake was about to attack Margaret, William and the ghosts of the rake's children arrived.

It's revealed that William is Isiah, the oldest of the rake's children. The rake burned him to death, put him in an urn, and put the urn in the river. The urn went down to a reedy glen, where the queen found it and found the baby inside of it. The queen resurrected the baby and turned him into a faun at day and a man at night. The queen raised the baby like her own child.

William/Isaiah and the the ghost girls defeat the rake and Margaret is rescued and reunited with William/Isaiah. However, when they try to cross the river to get back home, the river held him to its promises and drowns them both. It's revealed that Margaret is "A river's daughter," although this is never elaborated on.
