O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (43)

[CAMiller]

Thanks as always, CAM. When there's nothing much happening football-wise, these quizzes are a great diversion.

On question 1, out of interest, can you explain the clue you gave because I can't connect it with the song/artist. I thought "As the Crow Flies" was a decent stab at it: "From A to B in Straight Lines" - that's how crows fly...Rory Gallagher and his entourage had some success with it in the mid 70s - a Tony Joe White song. I know the clue seems to relate to the band rather than the song but you can read it either way!

In any event, the song and band in question were unknown to me so totally academic!

From A to B was their debut album CT and Straight Lines was another 'hit' of theirs. I saw them live in 1980 and they were OK if somewhat short lived. I think Living By Numbers was their biggest hit. A sort of poppy/new wave/electronic band. Take a look on YouTube.
