Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Beatles: "Eleanor Rigby", "Taxman", "Yellow Submarine" and "I Want to Tell You".

Answer: Revolver

This album, released in 1966, was one of the most daring sonic recordings made up to the time. The band experimented with many new recording techniques and engineering practices that had never before been attempted. This album also marks the first time all four band members contributed both musically and lyrically to the final product.
2. The Rolling Stones: "Gimme Shelter", "Midnight Rambler", "Monkey Man" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want".

Answer: Let It Bleed

This album was released several months after the death of Brian Jones, who many feel was the most influential member of the band throughout the 1960's. Brian Jones was considered a genius with a very high IQ and was responsible for much of the blues oriented music recorded by The Rolling Stones.

Although Jones only played on two songs on this album, his presence was very much felt on each and every song. "Let It Bleed" was recorded in 1969.
3. Jimi Hendrix: "Third Stone From the Sun", "I Don't Live Today", "Foxy Lady", and Love or Confusion".

Answer: Are You Experienced?

This is positively one of the best debut albums in history. Some critics have deemed this the most important piece of work in the psychedelic rock genre. Released in 1967, this album took up where Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend left off in experimental guitar work.

The feedback, distortion and thunderous volume of the guitar was totally unheard of up to that point. Not to mention the drumming of Mitch Mitchell and the bass work of Noel Redding which provided a jazz-like rhythm section for the master's guitar riffs.

A must have album for any guitar enthusiast.
4. Led Zeppelin: "Moby Dick", "Ramble On", "Thank You" and "Bring it on Home".

Answer: Led Zeppelin II

Recorded in 1969 in a series of short studio sessions, "Led Zeppelin II" is one of the most influential records in hard rock and heavy metal music. Nearly every hard rock act to follow has used this album as a blueprint. The song "Whole Lotta Love" has been called the first true heavy metal song in history.
5. The Doors: "Back Door Man", "Crystal Ship", "End" and "Twentieth Century Fox".

Answer: The Doors

Another great rock debut album. Released in 1967 by the L.A. based band, "The Doors" is a mix of jazz-rock fusion, classical music and poetry, all combined into a complex group of songs. Robby Krieger's seductive guitar work and Ray Manzarek's sultry keyboard were a perfect fit for the captivating vocals of Jim Morrison.
6. The Beach Boys: "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Sloop John B.", "That's Not Me" and "God Only Knows".

Answer: Pet Sounds

"Pet Sounds" was the innovative album released in 1966 by the Beach Boys. It was very innovative at the time because of the way the guitars and vocals were layered on top of each other. Most critics acclaim that this is more of a Brian Wilson's album than a Beach Boys album because he was largely in charge of all producing, engineering and composing.

As a matter of fact, most of the musicians used were studio musicians instead of the band members, although all the great harmonies and vocals are pure Beach Boys.
7. Jefferson Airplane: "White Rabbit", "She Has Funny Cars", "Somebody to Love" and "How Do You Feel".

Answer: Surrealistic Pillow

The sophomore effort by the San Francisco based band, "Surrealistic Pillow" featured the vocals of new member Grace Slick. The album was a great mix of folk-psychedelia and rock music. The album was heavily inspired by Jerry Garcia, who acted as mentor and sometime guitarist for the band.

This 1967 release features the hits "White Rabbit", a song about drug abuse and "Somebody To Love".
8. The Who: "Kids Are Alright", "Out in the Street", "Please,Please,Please" and "Ox".

Answer: The Who Sings My Generation

Released in 1965, "The Who Sing My Generation" is the energetic debut album by The Who. This album featured the hardest guitar and drum work that had ever been heard. Pete Townshend relied heavily on huge power chords, feedback and distortion to make a monstrous guitar sound, while Keith Moon literally attacked the drum kit to create thunderous beats.

Unfortunately, John Entwistle, bassist for the band, died in 2002. John was most likely the most influential rock bassist in music history.
9. Big Brother and Holding Company: "Piece of My Heart", "Summertime", "Turtle Blues" and "Ball and Chain".

Answer: Cheap Thrills

The long awaited major label debut of Janis Joplin and her band, "Cheap Thrills" was one of the most popular albums of 1968. When the album was released it quickly shot up the charts, reached number one and turned gold. The world was taken by surprise with Joplin's ear-piercing vocals and the tight knot musicianship of her band.
10. The Velvet Underground: "Femme Fatale", "Sunday Morning", "Heroin" and "European Son".

Answer: The Velvet Underground and Nico

This eclectic album was produced by Andy Warhol and featured the vocals of Nico, the European supermodel. This 1967 release was influential in the punk rock and new wave music that would follow a decade later. Lou Reed's songwriting and lyrics, John Cale's guitar and keyboard work and Maureen Tucker's percussion served as a radical backdrop to the haunting vocals of Nico. Literally all types of music have borrowed from this album, whether goth, glam, punk or mainstream rock.
