9. Wu Tang Clan
10. Dolly Parton and the Crosby guy

And I thought I was gonna get 10/10 too

Fingers crossed for 9?

You got 7 out of 10 which is not too shabby either

You haven't provided me with Dave Mustaine's band yet, but I'm guessing you just forgot and know which it is.

That gives you a total of 21 points, pushing you to the top of the scoreboard!

The solutions you didn't get were these :

6. Stevie Wonder
9. A Tribe Called Quest
10. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

I'll post more questions sometime, probably tomorrow!

Ehr, okay .. sorry for being a bit slow guys. Here's some more questions.

Rules :

Answer all of them or you get no points
Don't cheat, don't look browse the net for the answers

Alright, here we go!

1. November the 23rd, 1983, The Smiths played on british television program "Top of the Pops". Morrissey didn't like the idea of pretending to sing to a playback, so he swapped his microphone for what .. ?

2. British singer Kate Bush signed with record label EMI at a mere 16 years of age. Which already then legendary british rock star "discovered" her?

3. This irish musician played the role of Pink in the film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall. He's also one of the organizers behind Live Aid. Who is he?

4. Which english pop group rose to fame with their own CBBC television program called Miami 7 in 1999?

5. I'm thinking of a band that reached a wide audience through Zach Braff's 2004 movie "Garden State" .. If I also reveal that their name is plural for a part on the human body, which band am I thinking of?

6. Who's the dead gay singer with the massive overbite and the moustache?

7. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a role specifically for Sarah Brightman in one of his famous musicals. Which musical and what role? If you don't remember the name of the role, try to describe.

8. Ricki Wilde was only 11 when his first single was recorded. His song "I am an Astronaut" has been covered by numerous artists since. Who is his even more famous sibling?

9. The 1982 album "Black Metal" is regarded a huge influence on the genre that would later take it's name. What band released that album?

10. Music Inspired by the Snow Goose (or simply "The Snow Goose") is the name of an album inspired by Paul Gallico's story "The Snow Goose: A Story of Dunkirk". Put roughly, the story is about the man Philip Rhayader and the girl Fritha who tend to a wounded goose. As their friendship grows, the goose is nursed back to flight. Rhayader later dies in war after which Fritha is revisited by the goose and she interprets it as his soul visiting her to say farewell. Which band recorded the album?
