Trivia
and Quizzes
Sixties pop chart statistics, lists, music trivia and a collection
of general Sixties quizzes and games to amuse yourselves with. Who
was the most successful chart artist of the Sixties? Who were The
Mars Bars? What was the first music played on Radio 1? (not 'Flowers
In The Rain'!)? The
general 'Sixties' quizzes have quite wide-ranging subject matter -
I hope you find them interesting and informative. The 380+ questions
are of varying difficulty - easy enough if you know the answers, but
there may be a few teasers here to test you. |

Liverpool
has always been a hotbed of musical talent, but it will always be
remembered the most for that musical explosion of the ‘60s, when,
for one brief moment, the city was the cultural centre of the universe,
with artists that include The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers,
Billy J. Kramer, Cilla Black, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Merseybeats,
The Fourmost, and of course The Searchers. Famous for their pioneering
brand of jangly, harmonised Pop, they proved to be one of the most
influential groups of all, yet, they’re also one of the most eclectic,
with a musical legacy that encompasses Folk, Country, Rhythm ‘n’
Blues, Rockabilly, Soul, Garage, Psychedelia, Bubblegum, Proto-Glam,
Reggae, Country-Rock, Orchestrated Ballads, Power Pop, New Wave,
and even Power Ballads and Synth-Pop. Profiling demos, singles,
album tracks, live recordings, outtakes, radio broadcasts, solo
projects and more, and with a foreword by Mike Pender MBE, 'The
Searchers - Crazy Dreams!: Every Song from Every Session, 1963-2023'
is the ultimate guide to their extraordinary 60 year career.
