3. Buckingham cut vocals while lying on a bathroom floor (he liked the cool echo) and drummed on Kleenex boxes (he liked the crinkly crunch).

What's the answer to #5??

Didn't Lindsey use elastic band guitars for songs like The Ledge? Also, what songs did he use the Kleenex box drumming on?

Oh yeah, sorry.

Answer to #5

5. There have been five covers of ''The Chain'' -- the only band collaboration -- by artists as disparate as Shawn Colvin and Tantric (source: http://www. > coversproject.com).

I'd think Landslide has been covered a lot more than The Chain.

Or Dreams. I don't know how reliable the quiz is.
