Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I've Yet To Discover That Which I Seek

Answer: U2

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was a hit single from U2's 1987 release "The Joshua Tree", an album that spent over 100 weeks on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over 25 million copies.
2. Thoroughfare Directed Towards Hades

Answer: AC/DC

The title song from their 1979 album, "Highway to Hell" came from an idea by the band after four years on the road and the idea that the late nights and early mornings and travelling around in a bus all the time was akin to being in hell.
3. Thou Shalt Ne'er Stroll Unescorted

Answer: Gerry and the Pacemakers

"You'll Never Walk Alone" was written by Rogers and Hammerstein for the musical "Carousel" in 1943. Gerry and the Pacemakers recorded it in 1963 and it quickly became the official team song of the Liverpool Football Club.
4. Birthed in a Non-Domesticated Environment

Answer: Steppenwolf

"Born to Be Wild" was a song written by Mars Bonfire of Canadian rock group Steppenwolf. The song appears in the feature length film, "Easy Rider" from 1968 and reached number one only in Canada. It was number two in the U.S. Billboard charts.
5. Proceed in a Direction Divergent From Me

Answer: Fleetwood Mac

"Go Your Own Way" was a song that appeared on the multi-million selling album by Fleetwood Mac entitled "Rumours" which was released in 1976. The song was written by Lindsay Buckingham and expresses his feelings about the real life break up between himself and bandmate Stevie Nicks.
6. Unable to Discover a Route to My Abode

Answer: Blind Faith

"Can't Find My Way Home" was a song written by Steve Winwood of Blind Faith in 1969. The band was a supergroup of sorts containing members Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. The band only released one album and broke up after one year. Interesting side note, Eric Clapton had expressed his interest of Blind Faith performing at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, but when taken to a vote, he was outvoted.
7. An Unknown Equine

Answer: America

"A Horse With No Name" by America was released in 1971 and became a million seller for the group. It was banned by some American radio stations saying that it referred to heroin use (the word "horse" is a slang term for heroin).
8. Ponder

Answer: John Lennon

"Imagine" was released in 1971 and is contained on the album of the same name. The lasting impact of the song is that it is considered by many to be one of the greatest songs ever written, has been covered by over 200 musical artists and its content is still relevant and referenced 50 years on.
9. Away With You, My Disobedient Male Offspring

Answer: Kansas

"Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas appears on their "Leftoverture" album which was released 1976. The song peaked at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard charts and took almost 15 years to be certified gold by the RIAA which occurred in 1990.
10. An Additional Rectangular Piece of Rock Positioned in a Barrier

Answer: Pink Floyd

"Another Brick in the Wall" came in three parts on the 1979 "The Wall" album released by Pink Floyd. It is the second part, "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" which was released as a single and which went on to sell over four million copies. The song itself is a protest of child abuse suffered at the hands of teachers and an indictment of the rigidity seen in formal schooling.
