Music Test

Okay... these are probably too easy for everyone here, but it's the best I could come up with. No googling (not that you'd really have to).

  • What 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s “Rock Anthem” band sang a ballad titled “Beth”, but was criticized for going soft because of it?

  • What city and state is Anthony Kiedis of The Red Hot Chili Peppers from?

  • What is Madonna’s real “legal” name?

  • Who was the last vocalist to be considered publicly as the lead singer of Van Halen?

  • What hip-hop, R&B group did Lauryn Hill used to be the lead singer for?

  • What Hip-Hop artist just recently recorded the song “Dro In The Wind”?

  • Donald Fagen is the master mind and lead singer of what group that has lasted through the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and even now?

  • What is the lead singer’s name of the 80’s group, ‘Til Tuesday, that had a hit song entitled “Voices Carry”?

  • Which one of these bands was Eric Clapton a member of?
    The Wallflowers
    The Commodores

I only know the answer to no.8 and that's Steely Dan.

Does that mean i'm thick?

Oh yeah, i knew the Lauryn Hill one too, but i must have missed the question...DOH!

I thought Eric Clapton was a member of Cream, not the Yardbirds, or was he a member of both?

Funny song, cos no member of Kiss played an instrument on it, and the drummer (rod stewart soundalike)sang it.

Oh yeah and it shoud've been critisised for being sentimental crap..

Madonna: Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone

I wouldn't have even gotten both of these right. For some reason off the top of my head right now I couldn't think of cities other than Detroit or Saginaw in Michigan. duh And as far as Madonna's name I had just remembered the Louise part, but didn't know she had two middle names.

Artist who did "Dro In The Wind": Trick Daddy

That one I wouldn't have gotten at all.

The rest were all answered correctly. This thread sucked... I'm sorry. sad

The thread didn't suck. We need more trivia!

Yep an orchestra

the song was originally about the fact that the guitarplayer of the band was always on the phone to his girlfriend and interupted rehearsals. He always came up with excuses why he couldn't come home...
