IN THE MIX 80's Edition Vol. 1 - Music with Trivia? Or Trivia with Music?

Once again, the IN THE MIX series serves up trivia you can dance to!


Volume One of IN THE MIX 80's Edition roars out of the gate with Slayer’s Kerry King supporting The Beastie Boys,  Debbie Harry assisting The Ramones, and KISS backing Wendy O. Williams.


This installment also has crooners James Taylor, Michael McDonald, Paul Young & Elvis Costello singing harmony for their friends.  Bryan Adams guests on a Glass Tiger track, and has Lou Gramm guest on one of his.  Kate Bush joins Peter Gabriel on Games Without Frontiers, and Belinda Carlisle joins The Lemonheads on I’ll Do It Anyway.

  

Peter Buck plays on The ReplacementsI Will Dare, & Joe Walsh contributes slide guitar to Richard Marx’s Don't Mean Nothing.  Thomas Dolby sprinkles some synthesizer dust on Foreigner’s Waiting For A Girl Like You.  Phil Collins takes a break from drumming for everybody (in the eighties) to play piano on Faith No More’s Epic.  Norton Buffalo sews up the M.V.P. by playing four different harmonicas during the solo on Bonnie Raitt’s version of Runaway.


And the boys in the “I bet you didn’t know department” suggested I mention that Daryl Hall provided backing vocals for INXS on their early hit; Original Sin.

  1. It's requested that downloaders share their musical pet peeve:

    I’ll go first. I have no tolerance for kazoos—unless the artist takes it so far that it actually IS as funny as folks seem to think it is--and record an entire orchestra of kazoos.
