Okay one of my buddies needs my help making some Rock Trivia questions for a party he's having tomorrow night. Whoever gets the most questions right at his party gets their choice of Revelation, Disturbed's new one, and Weezer's new one.

Anyway, I need a little help with some rock/popular music trivia questions... i've got a decent-ish list already but need help from you folk.

Thanks in advance.

Which singer appears to have two different-colored eyes and why do they look that way?

Answer: David Bowie was born with blueish eyes. In 1962, he got into a fight with his longtime school friend George Underwood (over George's girlfriend), and a punch from Underwood damaged Bowie's left eye. His pupil was paralyzed, becoming unable to dilate or contract according to the ambient light.
As a result, Bowie's left eye now appears to be a different colour to his right eye, appearing either brown or green depending on the ambient light.
