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. |

New
Book Releases - 2021 and 2022
by Peter
Checksfield including:
Undercover: 500 Rolling Stones Cover Versions
That You Must Hear!
Mick and Keith learned fast. They released their first original
song ‘Stoned’ as the UK B-side of their version of Lennon-McCartney’s
‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ in November 1963; within 18 months they had
written and recorded ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, and had become
The Beatles’ biggest musical rivals.
In the 60 years since they started, there have been thousands of
Rolling Stones cover versions. Music historian Peter Checksfield
listened to most of them (so you don’t have to), and came up with
the best 500, in a staggering variety of genres: Rock, Blues, Soul,
Garage, Psych, Prog, Beat, Reggae, Ska, Pop, Funk, Disco, Country,
Folk, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Glam, Metal, Punk, New Wave, Indie,
Gothic, Grunge, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Bossa Nova, World, Gospel, Electronica,
Boogie Woogie, Jazz, even Cabaret, Polka and Classical.
Also included are a mammoth 130 exclusive interviews with many of
the musicians involved.
