And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. “Cowboy Song” by Thin Lizzy graced the stage in Anthrax’s 1993 single lineup. The track adds a classic rock touch to their distinct metal sound, showcasing their cover versatility.
2. Unofficially dubbed the “Hetfield Show,” this track from Metallica’s 1991 album interestingly omits Kirk Hammett. James Hetfield handles both rhythm and lead guitar duties.
3. “Stay Sick!” is where The Cramps illuminated their quirky, psychobilly style with “All Women Are Bad.” Poison Ivy’s production ensured the album stayed true to the band’s roots.
4. Domestic violence awareness was the focal point of Devon and Cornwall Police’s campaign using Taylor’s 1998 song. It harmonized with efforts to promote support services.
5. Rage Against The Machine’s visually compelling 1993 video capture took place in a New York warehouse. Its live-performance style enhanced the track’s raw energy.
6. The Irish Troubles and events like the Warrington bombings provided Phil Collins with lyrical themes centered around terrorism in Britain, enriching his 1993 song’s narrative depth.
7. Honoring his political and musical birthplace, Sting’s “The Soul Cages” earned him a Grammy. The personal album touches on themes of loss and nautical imagery.
8. Released in 1990, Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie’s single marked their Parlophone debut, signifying a bit of a transition. Track insights present it amid label shifts and recording fluctuations.
9. Focused yet distracted at university, Roddy Woomble transformed his film studies disinterest into Idlewild’s “A Film for the Future,” adding personal flair to the track’s lyrics.
10. Double duty production saw Bruce Dickinson direct the videos for “Accident of Birth” and “Road to Hell” together. A clear case of multitasking during his solo career’s creative high.
11. A UK single release solidified its significance for Moist when the track from “Silver” found an audience beyond Canadian borders, marking a pivotal career moment.
12. Little Angels’ 1994 release danced its way to No. 18 on the UK Singles Chart. A testament to their late single’s appeal before the band quieted their rock output.
