Here are the answers:

  • What popular singer released a book called Sex?
    - Madonna

  • What group is made up of 3 guys and a girl named Fergie?
    - Black Eyed Peas

  • What popular band is named after the church they attended as kids?
    - Our Lady Peace
    Nazareth was a good guess, but they took their name from a line in The Band's song "The Weight."

  • What popular rap group has 2 members named Adam?
    - The Beastie Boys

  • What was the first band to have 4 US #1 hits from their first album?
    - Creed

  • What band opened a tour with a simulcast of the show in movie theaters across the US?
    - Phish
    The opening show to their 2004 farewell tour was shown in 46 theaters.

  • What popular band from the '70s was named after their keyboard player?
    - Manfred Mann
    We also accepted KC & The Sunshine Band and Booker T & The MGs. We didn't accept The Alan Parsons Project even though we were tempted. The group was more of a collection of musicians Parsons would use to record his stuff.

  • What famous band once appeared on stage dressed as light bulbs?
    - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
    They did it at Woodstock in 1994. Devo was a good guess - they wore a variety of metallic costumes on stage, but RHCP were clearly light bulbs.

  • What famous musician took his wife's last name when they got married?
    - Jack White of the White Stripes
    His name was Jack Gillis, but he changed it when he married Meg White, who is also his drummer. A lot of people guessed John Lennon, who changed his middle name to "Ono."

  • Worldwide, what is the best-selling single with a title that is the name of a girl?
    - "Macarena"
    This stumped just about everyone. Good guesses include Billie Jean, Diana, Jenny, Mandy and Rosanna.
