NEW GAME!

Okie Dokie folks!
We are back with more MUSIC TRIVIA and this time it's from the most memorable time in Rock History.
So then, let's see what YOU remember about the BRITISH INVASION!

I guess we all know that it all started with the Beatles but:

1. What was the name of the Liverpool club where they held sway during their first hits in the U.K.?

2. What Manchester band replaced the Beatles as headliners there?

3. That band had U.K. Hits with "Just One Look" & "Searchin' but can you name 2 of their U.S.Hits?

4. A Rocker from Wales gave the Winwood brothers their start with a
song called DIMPLES. Can you name his group?

5. Of the original British invasion bands, which one was most influenced by black American R&B rather than blues? Their lead singer went on to declare WAR in 1970.

6. The second British group, after The Beatles, to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show was?

7. This band's first hit was GO NOW, sung by a future band-mate of Paul McCartneys. Can you name him?

8. What was the 2nd group from Liverpool (after the Beatles) to have a Hit in the U.S.? EXTRA-can you name the song?

9. This group included at one time or another the following members: Jack Bruce, Tom McGuiness, Mike Hugg, Klaus Voorman, and Paul Jones. Name the keybord player and you'll name the band as well.

10. What Birmingham group, whose Hits included "Flowers in the Rain" & "I Can Hear the Grass Grow", sent one of its members on to fame with ELO in 1972?

11) Who Sang "She's Not There" in 1964?

12) Who owed their fleeting fame to Lennon and McCartney, who wrote two songs for them? (Do You Want To Know A Secret & Bad To Me)

Good luck ya'all!

6) The very under-rated Dave Clark Five

8)???...The Searchers did a version of LP #9, But I think they were Aussies

9) Ohhhh Ohhh I Know This one....Manfred Mann's Earth Band

11) Kick me now or kick me later...The Zombies.

I still can't think of the answer for #12

**gus danger** · July 11th, 2007, 01:49 PM

Good J.O.B. Rog!
#12 HINT > Those guys were one of Brian Epstein's bands but were not really the smash, in the USA, as the others.

BTW, my research shows that the Searchers were born and formed their band in Liverpool!
The did tour a lot in Australia though!

Your other answers are correct-o-mundo!

More later,
