Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A Dutch band which had one major global hit. The song title was the name of a Roman goddess. And of a planet too. Which is this band?

Answer: Shocking Blue

Shocking Blue were active between 1968 and 1974. Their 1970 hit "Venus" was a chart-topper in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Spain and the USA, and came close on many other countries - including their alma mater of Holland. None of the others made it near as big though.

2. A Scottish band named after a Steely Dan track. Among their hits you'll find "Real Gone Kid". Which is this band?

Answer: Deacon Blue

As of 2015, Deacon Blue is still active. As years went by their material swayed from pop-rock to the alternative, enabled by their healthy fan base. The Steely Dan song in question is "Deacon Blues" out of their album "Aja" (1977).

Answer: The Moody Blues

Since their inception in 1964, The Moody Blues have excelled in multiple genres of rock and their contribution and influence cannot be overstated, for example their album "In Search of the Lost Chord" (1968) - a cornerstone of psychedelic rock. The classic "Nights In White Satin" is from their masterpiece LP "Days Of Future Passed" (1967).

4. A Scottish band. Admittedly not a very known one but the fact that it is named after an African geographic feature should help you colour it properly. Which is this band?

Answer: The Blue Nile

The Blue Nile were formed in Glasgow in 1981 and are still active as of 2015. Their fringe flavour of pop is truly refreshing. "A Walk Across The Rooftops" (1984) is an album well-worth listening to.

Answer: Yello

As of 2015, Yello are still in existence. Their album "You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess" (1983) was a showcase of innovation in sound and beat. The millionaire in question is vocalist Dieter Meier, born to a rich Z�rich family who also made a living out of poker and golf.

6. An American one-hit wonder. The hit in question is "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (1995). Which is this band?

Answer: Deep Blue Something

Deep Blue Something hail from Texas. Though they were not able to build up on the enormous popularity of "Breakfast At Tiffany's" which even managed to top the UK charts, they are still up and running as of 2015.

7. For shame, a little known post-punk act from Bristol, UK. Among their albums you'll find "Spitting Out Miracles" (1987) and "Swagger" (1990). Which is this band?

Answer: The Blue Aeroplanes

The Blue Aeroplanes master both melodious music and asynchronous rock, and are very strong on stage. Their two mainstays are vocalist Gerrard Langley and dancer Wojciech Dmochowski. Not far behind is their talented guitar wizard Angelo Bruschini.

8. A 1980s English rock'n'roll revival band carrying one of the best names around. Their success was less striking unfortunately and they called it quits in 1990. Which is this band?

Answer: The Screaming Blue Messiahs

The Screaming Blue Messiahs were heavily influenced by early American rock and their lyrics often revolved around American themes. "Gun-Shy" (1986) is a fine LP, as is one of its singles "Wild Blue Yonder".

9. An American rock band which started its life in 1967 as Soft White Underbelly, a name that was changed in 1971. Keep calm and don't fear the reaper. Which band is it?

Answer: Blue �yster Cult

As of 2015, Blue �yster Cult (also known as BOC) have been continuously active since 1967, usually a step or two outside the mainstream. As their name suggests, much of their material inclines towards the occult.

10. A mixed Dutch-English avant-garde band. Their vocalist's pseudonym is Edward Ka-Spel. Which is this band?

Answer: The Legendary Pink Dots

Pink, for a change. Founded in 1980, The Legendary Pink Dots have served as a major torch carrier between 1960s psychedelia and late 1980s neo-psychedelia. Do try them at home.
