Gina39525 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 K, I have to ask a question...(now THERE'S a surprise)...Didn't the Beach Boys have their biggest hit with KOKOMO after they were inducted into the Hall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 I thought about that, too. But "I Get Around", "Help Me Rhonda" and "Good Vibrations" were all bigger decades before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gina39525 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 According to "The Beach Boys.com" << In 1988, The Beach Boys were at the top of the pop charts with the #1 single "Kokomo" from the Cocktail Motion Picture Soundtrack. The multi-platinum "Kokomo" is The Beach Boys biggest selling hit, climbing to #1 on the pop music and video charts of Billboard, Cashbox, Radio & Records and Hits magazines in 1988 >> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryansgirl319 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Was Carlos Santana inducted as an individual or as part of a group? He recorded Smooth as a solo artist separate from Santana as a group. The question is worded as what singer or band..., and Carlos is not a singer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 22 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 Boy, I really liked that question when we wrote it. My reasoning for not accepting The Beach Boys was that "Good Vibrations" was a bigger hit. Of course, "bigger hit" is subjective since we didn't specify chart position or sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gina39525 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 OK...so, Carl, in the future, by what means do we measure "biggest hit"? I usually use the Billboard Charts. BTW, this month's quiz is great! Everything is specific and spelled-out, for the dummies like me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Report post Posted December 31, 2005 I usually go by Billboard chart position, but I should spell that out in the future. Happy quiz taking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
