OLD 55's MUSIC KNOWLEDGE DOUBLES QUIZ


OLD 55

Recommended Posts

QUESTION 2

WHICH SINGER successfully covered songs written by ALL of these Songwriters ?

Van Morrison

Leadbelly

Brian Wilson

Sam Cooke

Joe South

Smokey Robinson

Willie Dixon

Pete Seeger *

James Taylor **

* I just added Pete Seeger. As the singer in question covered songs by many singer/songwriters, I'll add others if required later.

** Just added James Taylor also.

................................................

QUESTION 3

The best selling Heavy/ Hard Rock Album in the U.S. is "Led Zeppelin IV". What do you think is the biggest in the U.K. ?

I made this Question vague on purpose, because I thought it would be Googled. It's by a single artist, not a group, and I don't consider the Artist to be all that "Heavy" - certainly NOT Metal. "Hard Rock" is a fair desctiption.

CURRENT POINTS

Katie & Joe 17

Peaches & Sammy 15

Edna & Laurie 14

Things change quickly! A very even Game. :thumbsup:

Thanks psysho. Why don't you grab Kevin and form a Team ???

Levis17 is looking for a partner too.

:)

10 Points still up for grabs. With Q3, MORE of a rocker than Prince or Michael Jackson. I think I'd call them both Pop singers?

This person ROCKS with the best of them. The Album was VERY popular world wide. I even have it, and I just usually buy Compilations/ Best of.

O.K. Mate. Maybe we'll start a new Solo Quiz in November. 1st November (All Saints Day) will be mine and my Wife's 36th Wedding Anniversary - provided I don't cark it tomorrow when I go for a cardiac stress test. But the odds against that are about 10,000 to 1 I'm told.

:P

Bruce Springsteen "Born In The U.S.A. was a good answer Laurie. Keep trying !

Sorry, not Dion for Q2 Joe.

oooh geesh i dont know...Billy Joel...stranger or 52nd street?

Sorry, not Billy Joel for Q3 Laurie. Probably rocks more than him.

I'm just sitting here listening to the Artist in Q2 doing a James Taylor song. Another Singer/songwriter to add to the list. This Artist sure is prolific !
