Today, the challenge is to name the musical groups that were formed by these duos.
Pop Culture Wake-Up Call is a weekly quiz about either movies, TV or music (plus I’ll throw a comic book one in there now and again, perhaps more frequently if you folks would like, maybe even a “potpourri” one in the future).
Please, just e-mail me your answers (I don’t think I need to tell you to not use Google) at brian@popculturereferences.com and I’ll post the answers to this week’s quiz along with the person who got the most correct (multiple people if there is a tie) in a comment on the original quiz.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
The following are 20 musical artists who formed famous music duos, and none of them wee in groups of just their last names (like Simon & Garfunkel). For example, if I said “Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson,” you would say “Alan Parsons Project.”

2. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal
3. Vince Clarke and Andy Bell
4. Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson
5. Redfoo and Sky Blu
6. Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes
