This was a pretty good quiz, and an Aimee Mann prize pack was up for grabs along with the T-shirt. If you haven't heard her new CD, it's definitely worth a listen - The Forgotten Arm.


Louise from Birmingham, England wins the clean and comfortable T-shirt, as well as the Aimee Mann prize pack - her CD The Forgotten Arm and her live DVD.

Here are the answers:

• What famous band released 2 consecutive albums with titles that were 4-digit numbers?
  - Van Halen
  1984 and 5150
  
  
• What famous band that started in the '60s smashed their equipment after most of their shows?
  - The Who
  
  
• What hit from 2004 has the same name as a famous movie from the '50s.
  - "Vertigo" by U2
  
  
• What famous band changed the spelling of their name so they could get the domain name?
  - Linkin Park
  
  
• What musician has been in movies with Elizabeth Hurley, George Clooney, Jennifer Connelly and Jennifer Lopez?
  - Ice Cube
  
  
• What song is a tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson?
  - Nightshift by The Commodores
  
  
• Name a popular group for each of the following that has a hyphen (-) in their name:
  Girl group from the '60s
  Rock group from the '70s
  Rock group from the '90s and '00s.
  - The Shangri-Las, Bachman-Turner-Overdrive, Blink-182.
  This is where it gets a little subjective. We gave full credit for T-Rex, and partial credit for Sleater-Kinney. A lot of people got The Shangri-Las.
  
  
• What Jewish singer wrote a religious rock song that was a hit in the '70s?
  - Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit In The Sky"
  Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan were popular guesses.
  
• What acapella song became a hit when a dance beat was added to it 3 years later?
  - "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega
  
  
• What still-active British band lost their guitarist when he disappeared in 1995?
  - The Manic Street Preachers
  Richey Edwards disappeared, but his body was never recovered.
  
  

Thanks to everyone who took the quiz, and be sure to take the new one
here.

I was so close...I didn't get "Tom's Diner" and I put Sleater-Kinney instead of Blink-182. I've never been that close...I think I deserve at least a bumper sticker. :shades:

Andy-

You were way too low on the tiebreaker. If you get all of them right on this one, we'll send you a shirt even if you don't get closest.

I would like to announce that I'm only going to get 9 right this month at the most, and also that it's pronounced "burg" as in "iceberg." It's the last name of one of the 2 lead singers in my favorite band.
