I had forgotten to turn on the air conditioning when I left my house yesterday, so when I came home, it was (to borrow from KISS) “hotter than hell.” Of course, I did what all good researchers do and wrote that idea down, then began to look up the use of the word “Hell” in the world of music. At first, I was afraid that what I’d find would be too rough-hewn to make for a suitable quiz. But I was surprised at what I found. Yes, there was Mötley Crüe, but there was also Mac Davis. And of course AC-DC made the list, but so did Aretha Franklin.
So I put together the “Hell Radio” quiz, with 13 (natch!) questions to test your knowledge of the musical underworld. Enjoy!
Heh. The Twisted Sister typo made me giggle.

Yep, folks, the Quiz Tool was acting wonky this morning, causing some of the answers to not show up. Should all be fixed now. Thanks!
