Music trivia thread

uh......you know that's Sting's real name, right?

 

Which English folk singer — who was also name-checked in the title of a Led Zeppelin song — sang lead vocals on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar?"

 

As the board's leading Pink Floyd fan, I can tell you it's Roy Harper.

 

Name the 3 best selling albums of all time.

 

Had no clue. Never looked it up.

 

Well when Starman said Sumner and you said nope......it was Sting that got the shared credit........

 

Doubt, I've got all three, but I'm going to go:

Michael Jackson, "Thriller"
Fleetwood Mac, "Rumours"
Hootie and the Blowfish, "Cracked Rear View"

 

How about the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack?

 

I seem to remember reading something that The Bodyguard Soundtrack sold something crazy like 40 million, so I'll say that is one of them. Bat Outta Hell sold a shitton, too.

 

"Sting" got the credit. Not Sumner. So, technically, I was correct.

 

Thriller is Number 1.
Rumours is Number 8.
Hootie is nowhere to be found.

 

Bodyguard is 4.
Bat is 5.
