The Leader of the Band

There is nothing interesting happening in showbiz right now. Nada. Zip. Don't these damn celebrities know that I'm counting on them to do ridiculous things so I can use them as fodder for this blog? Ah well. I'm sure something will come up soon. In the meantime, I've devised another quiz. This should be easier than the lyrics quizzes because it's just matching. All you have to do is match the band with its lead singer. And being the anal person that I am, I've picked a band for every letter of the alphabet!

This will pretty much revolve around '80s bands because, as I'm sure you all know by now, I was a blue eyeshadow-wearing, rollerskating, leg warmer-sporting, big-haired (as big as mine could get) child of that decade. So without much further ado, your quiz....

But where's Annie Lennox and the Eurothmyics?

My hair has always been big; it was the crowning decade of my life--pun not intended ;-)

A REQUEST FOR YOU....

I got 'em all. My favorite being Maria McKee from Lone Justice. That'd be a reunion I'd love to see.
