I think it's about time to put this one to bed...

1.Country music phenom Garth Brooks is #3 all-time in terms of album sales, with Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and Billy Joel rounding out the top 6.

2.Their name was taken from an old English divination method of predicting future events based on the number of crows seen at a given time. Though there are a few versions of the rhyme, the version Counting Crows references in their song "A Murder of One" is:
"One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for girls, and Four for Boys, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret never to be told."

3.It turns out there are at least 4 bands who had singles in 2002 with Dave Grohl. His main project Foo Fighters released several singles in 2002. Grohl was also the credited drummer on the debut albums of Queens Of The Stone Age ("No One Knows") and Tenacious D ("Tribute"). Also in 2002, a previously-unreleased Nirvana single hit the airwaves, called "You Know You're Right". Thanks to John Q Publik for verifying Tenacious D.

4. The original (and concert) version of "Tribute" contains musical references to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven".

5. "Movin' Out" is based entirely on the works of Billy Joel. There is no dialogue, as the story is woven from his vast musical library.

6. Curtis Jackson is better known as "50 Cent".

7. David Bowie performed on the original version, and Vanilla Ice sampled the bass line for "Ice Ice Baby".

8. Barenaked Ladies consists of 5 fully-dressed men, but no women.

9. Trick "trick question". His name is David, "Dave" is also quite acceptable.

10. Aretha Franklin was inducted in 1987 to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

With 9 out of 10, John Q. is the winner! Nice going John!
