Social Distancing Rock and Roll Quiz

Answer: The Police

Remember... keep at least six feet apart from others!

"Don't Stand So Close to Me" was released in 1980 as the lead single from The Police's album "Zenyatta Mondatta". It reached Number One in the U.K. and made it to Number Ten in the United States. The album also reached Number One in the U.K. but fared a bit better than the single in the United States, hitting Number Five.

Answer: Nirvana

It's probably best to avoid other people entirely.

"Stay Away" was released in 1991 as part of Nirvana's "Nevermind" album. It was not released as a single, but, ironically given the theme of this quiz, the song "Come as You Are" *was* released as the album's second single. The album reached Number One in the United States and Number Seven in the U.K.

Answer: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Not only should you stay in, but you should also discourage visitors.

"Don't Come Around Here No More" was released in 1985 as the lead single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' album "Southern Accents". It reached Number 13 in the United States, while the album peaked at Number Seven.

Answer: Alice in Chains

Not only should you discourage visitors to your house, you should just keep away from anyone else's house, too.

"I Stay Away" was released in 1994 as the second single from Alice in Chains' album "Jar of Flies". It reached Number Ten in the United States, while the album debuted Number One.

Answer: Billy Idol / Gen X

And while you're all alone, you can keep yourself entertained.

"Dancing With Myself" was originally released as a pre-release single for Billy Idol and his group Gen X in 1980 for the 1981 album "Kiss Me Deadly". It peaked at an abysmal Number 64 in the U.K.

Billy remixed the song and re-released it on his first solo album, "Don't Stop" (also in 1981), and this version fared somewhat better, reaching Number 27 in the United States.

Answer: Georgia Satellites

But if you are touched, or must touch something else, remember to wash your hands thoroughly!

"Keep Your Hands to Yourself" was released in 1986 as debut single from the Georgia Satellites' eponymous album. It reached Number Two in the United States the following year in February. The album only got to Number Five.

Answer: Fleetwood Mac

Wearing a mask can protect others if you are feeling sick.

Answer: Motörhead

Not only should you keep your hands clean, but you should wipe down surfaces and clean your groceries when you get them home.

Answer: Joy Division

It's tough, but we can reach out to each other in other ways.
