12. Backwards. George McCartney and Mick Jones were in Wham!
You got four of the Monkees right, but you left off Yani and Frank Zappa.

6. Davy Jones did the vocals for that
I live in the middle of nowhere about 20mi from his house in Beavertown, Pa.

He got a DUI a few years ago and it rocked the county.

20. "Daydream Believer" was written by John Stewart (ex-Kingston Trio)
After his successful career in the Kingston Trio and as a solo folk/country artist in his own right, he took over the Daily Show from Craig Kilborn. And the rest, as they say, is history. :)
