And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. The track saw releases labeled “2004 Version” and “2005 Version,” each with distinct remixes by Shy Child, Phones, and Max Tundra. A multi-format strategy defined its discographical presence.
2. Before being officially titled “The Only One,” the song was performed under the working moniker “Please Project” during The Cure’s 2007 tour appearances.
3. For those key-aware, “Sucker” by 28 Days is composed in F♯ minor. This resonates with the corresponding Camelot notation 11A, aligning musical theory with styling.
4. “One Wild Night” owes its creation not only to Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora but also to Desmond Child, a frequent collaborator enriching Bon Jovi’s sound with dynamic lyricism.
5. Mojave 3’s track “Any Day Will Be Fine” reached a modest number 89. It reflects Neil Halstead’s songwriting and appears on their album “Excuses for Travellers.”
6. After a seven-year wait, Morrissey released his single from “You Are the Quarry.” This track heralded the arrival of new music following a lengthy recording silence.
7. Central to “Who Needs Enemies?” are themes of betrayal and mistrust. Its sharp lyrical delivery aligns with the band’s reputation for explosive choruses and intense production.
8. Formed in London in 1999, My Vitriol released “Losing Touch” as their debut single, introducing the British rock scene to their emergent sound in the early 2000s.
9. “Keep Us Together” is from “On the Outside,” a 2005 album by Starsailor. This song was part of efforts to sustain the album’s presence in UK’s competitive music scene.
10. Breed 77, known for infusing rock and metal with Latin elements, offers a mix echoed through the flamenco-inspired soundscapes in their works, including the track “The River.”
11. Tom McRae’s melancholic “Karaoke Soul” resonated with the dramatic tones of “Rescue Me.” This brought an indie touch to the series’ official soundtrack.
12. The Deftones’ video featured a compelling setting: a vast, arid desert-like area by the Salton Sea, utilizing expansive natural backdrops for the band’s performance artistry.
