DevO Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hey all!I need to come up with 10 questions for a pub trivia night that my team is hosting. (We won the last one so we make the questions for this one).I am in charge of the "music" category.. Unfortunately I'm finding I am insanely busy with work right now and thought I'd see if I could get some of you to offer some Q&A.Anyone got anything for me? Keep it relatively simple I guess..
