Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jimmy Eat World's fourth album that could have featured a 2004 Green Day single from an album of the same name.

Answer: Bleed American Idiot

"Bleed American" was released in July 2001. Following the events of September 11, 2001, the album came to be known as simply "Jimmy Eat World", though still officially called "Bleed American". The title track on the album was also renamed "Salt Sweat Sugar".

"American Idiot" was the first single released off of Green Day's 2004 album "American Idiot". The "American Idiot" album is a rock opera of sorts - it follows the story of the "Jesus of Suburbia" and his experience with drugs, girls and his subsequent downfall.
2. A 1987 George Michael tune that could have been recorded by Johnny Rotten's band.

Answer: I Want Your Sex Pistols

"I Want Your Sex" was quite the controversial song in the late '80s. It was banned on many radio stations, was only played on late night MTV, and Casey Kasem refused to ever announce the title on air. Despite all that, it still managed to peak at number two on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart.

The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band in the 1970s. Other members included Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Sid Vicious.

"Back in Black" was AC/DC's seventh studio album and was the first one recorded without Bon Scott, who had died just months before it was released. Brian Johnson sang lead vocals for this album.
4. A potent 1973 Eagles' song that could have been featured in "Fiddler on the Roof".

Answer: Tequila Sunrise Sunset

The film version of "Fiddler on the Roof" was released in 1971 and tells the story of Tevye, a Jewish man, attempting to maintain his religious traditions as his five daughters move away from traditional customs, especially in their choices of husbands. "Sunrise, Sunset" is sung mainly by Tevye and his wife, and is about having to let go of their children.

According to Bono, "City of Blinding Lights" is set in New York City, looking out at Brooklyn. The song was a number one hit in Portugal and Spain, number two in the UK and Canada, but only number 40 in the US.
