Answer: The Beach Boys

There's another band of Wilson brothers called the GAP Band but that isn't one of the choices in this quiz. If you answered "Heart," you need to take a closer look at the last word in the question.

If you answered "The Beach Boys," look at the last word in the question again.

Ann and Nancy Wilson lead the band Heart, a rock band from the 1970s and 1980s. Their 1970s music is hard rock. "Barracuda" has one of the most iconic hard rock guitar riffs of all time.
