This is another really straightforward section (as per Quiz 4). Here are three tracks from an album and the year of release. You give the artist and album title.
Option: if you are reading the quizzes out loud, try giving the quizzers two tracks – if they can identify the album from these, they get both points. If they need the third track, which is usually the charm (the big single or stand-out track), then they just get one.
