Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Bon Scott died, Brian Johnson came in and helped make this band's most popular album ever, "Back in Black." What band is this?

Answer: AC/DC

With Bon Scott, AC/DC recorded what are now some of the most popular rock songs ever made such as "Highway to Hell," "T.N.T" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." When he died, maybe some fans missed him and maybe the band missed him as a person, but their popularity sure didn't miss him. Brian Johnson came in the band, and they recorded the album "Back in Black," which has been certified more than 20x platinum in the United States alone. AC/DC continued making multi-platinum albums for the rest of the 80s and early 90s.
2. This band enjoyed major success with David Lee Roth in the early 80s. Then they enjoyed major success with Sammy Hagar in the late 1980s. Who are they?

Answer: Van Halen

With singer David Lee Roth, Van Halen recorded two albums that went at least 10x platinum: their self-titled debut album and "1984." Roth left the band in 1985 and was replaced with Sammy Hagar. With him, Van Halen recorded four straight albums that went to number one on the Billboard top 200 albums.

This caused a rift in the fanbase, where some fans prefer Roth and others prefer Hagar. Hagar fans say that their man is the better singer, but Roth fans say that their man as more fun to watch during live shows.
3. This band had Peter Gabriel in the 1970s and Phil Collins in the 1980s. Who are they?

Answer: Genesis

Genesis started off as a progressive rock band, with Peter Gabriel as their lead singer. They wrote long complex songs, that often had multiple parts. Each album told a story. Some of these albums, such as "Selling England by the Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway," are considered to be among the greatest progressive rock albums ever made.

In 1974, Gabriel left the group. He was replaced with drummer/singer Phil Collins. Not only did the singer change, their music style changed completely. Genesis became a pop band that relied heavily on synthesizers. This change in style worked great for them commercially. They scored major hits with "Invisible Touch," "That's All," "I Can't Dance," and one of the most interesting music videos ever made, "Land of Confusion." They became famous world wide and sold over 100 million albums. However, many fans of early prog-rock Genesis believe that the band sold out, meaning they abandoned their own artistic vision in favor of what was selling.
4. This band has had many line-up changes in their history. They started off with singer Peter Green, but they are most famous for a time when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, were in the band. Who are they?

Answer: Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac started off in 1967 as a blues-rock band with a male singer, Peter Green. With him, they made the number one hit "Albatross," other hits such as "Black Magic Woman" and "Oh Well," and the song "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)" which was later covered by Judas Priest. Green left the band in 1969 and eventually Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the group.

They helped change the band's sound to a pop sound. The result was the album "Rumors" which has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the top ten highest-selling albums ever, at least at the time this quiz was made.
5. This British heavy metal band started off with Paul Di'Anno, then they found Bruce Dickinson. Who are they?

Answer: Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden's first two albums were with Di'Anno. The self-titled album and "Killers" are highly beloved among fans of heavy metal. Di'Anno then left the band due to drug problems and was replaced with Bruce Dickinson. The first five albums with Dickinson all charted in the top five on the UK charts and they played shows in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the 80s.
6. This progressive rock band, which always had multiple singers, started off with Syd Barrett and then replaced him with David Gilmour. Who are they?

Answer: Pink Floyd

Syd Barrett wrote and sang almost all the songs on Pink Floyd's debut album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," which is considered to be one of the best debut albums ever made. Shortly after that, he left the group and was replaced with David Gilmour. Pink Floyd proved that they didn't need Barrett. With Gilmour and lyricist Roger Waters, Pink Floyd created two of the best-selling rock albums of all time, "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall." They even enjoyed some success after Waters left, with "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" being certified multi-platinum.
7. This 90s grunge band had Layne Staley at the height of their fame, but continued on with William DuVall in the 2000s. Who are they?

Answer: Alice in Chains

They also scored their most famous song in the U.S., "Smoke on the Water," a song that the band isn't very proud of and didn't play live when it was first released, but now that riff is regarded by many people as one of the greatest hard rock guitar riffs ever written. Gillan left in 1973 and was replaced with David Coverdale. With him, they released the album "Burn" which charted in the top ten in the United States and number one in four different countries in Europe.
9. This 1980s rock band had two singers named Mike. The first one was Morris and the second one was Patton. Who are they?
