Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Morrissey was the lead singer for...

Answer: The Smiths

A man who has done more to legitimise the humble Gladioli than any other pop star (except, maybe, Dame Edna Everidge).

2. Chrissie Hynde was the lead singer for...

Answer: The Pretenders

And of course she has gone on to become an accomplished actress appearing in, amongst other things, "Friends".

3. Robert Smith is the lead singer for...

Answer: The Cure

The Cure started in 1979 with the album "Three Imaginary Boys" and are still going strong 26 years later.

4. Carol Decker is the lead singer for...

Answer: T'Pau

For those who didn't know, T'Pau were named after a character from Star Trek. T'Pau was one of Vulcan's most revered leaders, the only person ever to turn down a seat on the Federation Council.

5. Roisin Murphy is the lead singer for...

Answer: Moloko

Moloko were named after the Russian word for "milk", a word that featured heavily in Anthony Burgess's novel "A Clockwork Orange".

6. Thom Yorke is the lead singer for...

Answer: Radiohead

Amazing voice, amazing band, amazing songs. What more can you say?

7. Simon Le Bon is the lead singer for...

Answer: Duran Duran

Simon and the boys just don't know when to give up. More comebacks than Frank Sinatra and their popularity seems to keep on growing.

8. Debbie Harry was the lead singer for...

Answer: Blondie

The subject of many an adolescent boys fantasy in the 70s and 80s, Debbie is a wonderful example of a woman who is determined to present her true face to the world and not some made up alternative.

9. Steve Strange was the lead singer for...

Answer: Visage

At the forefront of the New Romantics, Strange was a good friend of Michael Hutchence and his untimely death clearly had a bad effect on Strange.

10. Eddi Reader was the lead singer for...

Answer: Fairground Attraction

It's not generally well known that Eddi's real name is Sadenia Reader. I wonder why she changed it? And she was also awarded the MBE for services to music in the 2006 Honour's List.
