Today, the challenge is to name the singers/bands behind songs that all came out in a single year (and you then have to name the year).
Pop Culture Wake-Up Call is a weekly quiz about either movies, TV or music.
I’ll disable comments for these quizzes. You 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.
