Question
What do the following musical groups have in common? The groups are: The Beatles, The Rascals, The Rollong Stones, The Who, The Police, Grandfunk Railroad, and Simon And Garfunkel.
Hmmm well, the Police seem to stick out as being an oddity in the list being as the rest of them are rock era bands and the Police are a pop band that came out while rock was fizzling out.
So I would say that one thing they all have in common is that they all utilized the guitar.

Expertise
I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
