I have found a music quiz to test you guys on your music IQ. Here's the way it will work:
1. Forget Google. Don't look up any answers. If you know where the quiz came from please don't play the game. You're on the honor system here.
2. The quiz will be in three parts and each will be progressively more difficult. We won't move on to a new part until the current one is answered correctly.
3. I won't be offering any clues unless you get hung up for a very long time. I'm going to point out how many correct and wrong answers there are in each post and you will have to figure out which are which.
4. The first person to answer all the questions right in one post will be the winner... of....nothing. I don't have any prizes to offer but if you win this you will hence forth and forever be known as "The Sultan of Pop Music" aka Smart as Hell! cause it ain't easy.
Besides I'm guessing you guys will make short work of this.
Here we go. First part:
1. What great Motown song was recorded by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, The Isley Brothers and Marvin Gaye before the first hit version by Gladys Knight & The Pips?
2. In 2006, who became the first British male singer to have a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 since Elton John in 1998?
3.Speaking of Elton John, which of his #1 singles was named after a professional tennis team?
4. Of the four members of the Beatles during their 1962 - 1970 heyday, who was the oldest?
5. In 1985, two side projects of Duran Duran had top-10 singles. What were the names of these two side-project bands?
Good luck folks.
