Obscure Music Trivia Thread

Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne

 

Pay him. Pay that man his money.
I had Dylan, but had forgotten about Lynne.

 

My dad is obsessed with weird trivia. The members of the Traveling Wilburys is one of those weird trivia bits. And I saw him this weekend.

 

I’m good at trivia, but after having been in radio for years, I’m really good at naming artists.
In fact, me and my son have a running “bet” when he’s around.
Pandora. Classic Rock.
If I don’t get the artist within 10 seconds of the song starting, I owe him $50.
As of this second, I owe him $0.00.

 

Now name the surviving members of the Highwaymen.

 

Willie and Kris, still going strong.

 

According the "Wrecking Crew" Facebook page - a reputable source, I'd think - which group sold the most records in 1968?

It is not the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.

 

Isn’t that the year In-A-Gada-Da-Vida came out?

If so, I’ll guess Iron Butterfly.

 

No.

 

Simon and Garfunkel?

 

The Monkees?

 

No and no. These guys had six consecutive gold albums and never had a No. 1 hit but in 1968 had singles reach #2, #2 and #7.
