Welcome to The big fog music quiz

Inspired by the movie quiz Neo ran not long ago, I have 100 music questions taken from a website. The date of the quiz is June 2020.

Here is how I will score this.

I will post one question at a time, every couple of hours, I will try to be consistent but some may run longer than others and the final question each day will run overnight.
You have from when I post the question till I post the next question to answer. The player who answers correctly first gets 2 points. Anyone who answers correctly after that gets 1 point each. You cant Google the answers and you cant edit or change your answer after you post it. All answers can be posted on thread, if you dont know the answer, wait for someone to answer first and copy them if you think they are correct.

Again, I didnt write these questions, if you think an answer is wrong, challenge it and I will look it up.

Good luck, first question on the way. I will only post 1 question tonight so you have until tomorrow morning to answer

Each 10 questions are themed.

First theme is 80s music

Maracas

I reckon that's right. The only thing I would debate is the word "play"! Rolleyes

According to the credits of the one album I got by The Happy Mondays, the instrument associated with Bez was....Bez! This is from memory by the way but I know that detail is right- I didn't take the CD out to check! Smile

The Maracas was the correct answers, they are also known as shakers so Liz gets the 2 pts, EN and Dec get a point each.
Shane gets admiration for the best answer

2. Which once-great lead singer of The Undertones had a hit with the A Good Heart These Days is Hard to Find in 1985?

Feargal Sharkey

I agree if, seemingly, you get a point for agreeing with the right answer! Big Grin

Yeah, I'll piggy back Shane too Tongue

I vote Fergal Sharkey too..

+1 for copying Shane 😁

Answer Feargal Sharkey

3. Which superstar married Sean Penn in 1985?

Madonna?

I agree with ShaneU!

ooh am I right?

Think it's Madonna too

Answer is Madonna

4. Which hit, whose video famously featured a live-action pencil sketch scene, is surely the most successful Norwegian synth-pop tune of all time?

Take on me

I agree with Shane again. I can't believe that I missed out on this one by minutes (2:12 when I was typing this bit!) and that the question had been there for a few minutes before that! Wordwide it was by far it's biggest hit, reaching Number 1 in a number of countries, including the US. Curiously, it stalled at Number 2 in the UK and Ireland, and The Sun Always Shines on TV got to Number 1 in those two markets!

Haha, I saw the thread yesterday, but I'm gonna have to sit this game out... it'd be too much of a distraction from the assignments I'm currently working on to be checking the site all the time to see when the next question might appear...

I have instantly known all the answers so far though.

take on me

The trick is to find a music question that ShaneU does not know the answer to, or distract him so that he does not see this thread. Big Grin
