The Ultimate Rock Brain Challenge
published on 19th October, 2008

If you can recall the founding members of The Yardbirds; the band who released ‘Listen To Your Heart‘ in 1988; and James Newell Ostergberg’s stage name, consider the stakes below.

Pop Heads invites all dinosaur rock brains, vinyl appreciators and audiophiles to THE ULTIMATE ROCK BRAIN CHALLENGE.

The sanctimony of the vinyl years is long but gone, and with two challenges remaining, this heated trivia championship sifts Sydney’s minds for its musical best. All questions circulate around the songs and stars of the 1950s to 1980s; from the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll to the death of the record.**Potential prizes are supreme: a $200 Fish Records gift voucher ­ a turntable and vinyl gift voucher from Egg Records – a private party with Dave Tice (Buffalo) and Mark Evans (ACDC) – a killer trophy, and additional vinyl and drink prizes – not to mention the pride that will bleed from your pores should you win such a title.

Scour for worthy kinsmen, drink some nostalgic moonshine, study the tomes and register asap with Roddy to rock on.
