Music Trivia

Sunday, October 10, 2010

Since I usually don't do well on music questions during Duffy's Trivia nite [unless country music], I thought I would periodically post music trivia questions.  I'll lead off with a John Lennon question since there was so much media attention this week for John's birthday anniversary.  I'll post answers on Thursday night.

1) What was the title of the first song John Lennon wrote?

2) Who was the first rock star to be arrested on stage?



3) What was the first rock-n-roll song to hit #1 on the charts?


4) Who was awarded the very first gold record?


5) U2's "Angel of Harlem" was written about what singer?

7) What Depeche Mode song was inspired by Priscilla Presley's book Elvis and Me?



8) ) Who did the vocals for Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky"?
