What direction do satelite dishes point to in the northern hemisphere?

That's a good one, stuff that people can get but isn't a total gimme is perfect. It's for a pub quiz at the bar my mom works at. It's 20 questions everyone puts in 5 bucks and the winner gets the doe. I won last week so I have to make up the questions this week.

When punk rock came into the scene, many bands ridiculed Pink Floyd for their wide use of electronics. What album, by Pink Floyd, was widely considered an album to shut the punk rock bands up?

Not certain (from memory, may be skipping an album) but I would guess Meddle.

 

The Wall doesn't have many electronic tunes within the album, but that came out in the early 80's......

Meddle came out in 1971 I think, so it would have predated punk.

 

The wall came out in late 1979 so it would have been during the 2nd wave of Brit Punk.

 

I think the answer is probably "Animals," because it is closest to Johnny Rotten's "I hate Pink Floyd" quotes and t-shirts. There is a lot less synth on this compared to the previous album (Wish You Were Here), although still more than on The Wall. That is probably actually more related to the fact that Rick Wright was really not feeling very creative or into the sessions at the time - he was going through a divorce and was tired of the megalomaniac bulls*** from the ever more controlling Roger Waters.

 

Animals was definately the beginning of the end of PF performing as a cohesive unit.
