The Greatest Hits Quiz!

Iranu has no. 2.

I think Judders should have 1 or 2 (if Britney’s right) and Prop 3?

Judders beat me to Snoop Dog

Sorry, yeah, ignore my last post.

OK, I think this is where we are:

1. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead (Prop)
2. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips (Iranu)
3. I'm Waiting For The Man
4. Womaniser - Britney Spears (Juddernaut)
5. Blue Hotel
6. French Kiss
7. Papua New Guinea - Future Sound Of London (Prop)
8. Novocaine For The Soul - Eels (Prop)
9. Drop It Like It's Hot - Snoop Dogg (Juddernaut)
10. Pleasant Valley Sunday

OK.

No. 3 is a band who didn't have any hit singles at all, but proved to be very influential in years to come. They were associated with Andy Warhol and their debut album had a banana as its cover art.

No. 5 is by a male solo artist with a very distinctive sound. He also acted (most notably in a David Lynch film).

No. 6 is never played on the radio these days, as it's pretty much just somebody simulating an orgasm over a backing track that speeds up and slows down. It reached no. 2 in the charts in 1989.

No. 10 is by a band that were assembled for a TV show. They kind of transcended that eventually and went on to make a surreal film with Jack Nicholson.

French Kiss is Lil Louis

Sure is! I think that's the trickiest one out of the way.

3 is Velvet Underground and 10 is the Monkees

Two more correct to move into equal first place! Just one to go:

1. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead (Prop)
2. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips (Iranu)
3. I'm Waiting For The Man - The Velvet Underground (Krazeeeyekilla)
4. Womaniser - Britney Spears (Juddernaut)
5. Blue Hotel
6. French Kiss - Li'l Louis (Krazeeeyekilla)
7. Papua New Guinea - Future Sound Of London (Prop)
8. Novocaine For The Soul - Eels (Prop)
9. Drop It Like It's Hot - Snoop Dogg (Juddernaut)
10. Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees (Krazeeeyekilla)

The only musician I can think of right now who’s worked with Lynch is Trent Reznor.

He had a few more minor hits, but his other main song (and the one he's more known for) is "Wicked Game". The Lynch film he was in was a spin-off from "Twin Peaks".

It's not Bob.

Ah rubbish who was in Fire Walk With Me?
