Music Quizzes

[thirdreel]

I've been going back and forth with my friend Shawn on Facebook sharing music trivia quizzes, and thought some people here might like to share in the quizzitude. I'll screen comments for the hell of it. Find the common thread that links these musical artists:

1. Echo and the Bunnymen, Alphaville, Romeo Void, Mike and the Mechanics
2. The Foo Fighters, The Eurythmics, Talking Heads, Van Halen (at one point)
3. Motley Crue, Destiny's Child, The Byrds, N*Sync
4. Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, Paul McCartney & Wings
