Maybe we should add a rating,
* Easy - Stairway to Heaven - By a well-known rock band.
***** Hard - Atoms For Peace - By a member of a quite well-known indie band.

If and when it ever is my turn, I'm intending it to be from an obscure band
How many stars?

 

[Minty]

If it's really obscure for an international audience I would go 5* with a caveat;
***** UK / USA / Japan Delete or add as appropriate.


I now know why I only go to DO quizzes rather than setting them

Sorry folks, had to TCB... An easy one pointed at our UK brethren! Give me the Title and the artist... Hint: its in reverse

Never heard that song. Neither knew about John Cougar.

@Tera He used to be called John Cougar Mellencamp?

Actually, It was John Cougar, then John Cougar Mellencamp and then finally John Mellencamp. The music business can be harsh...

Absolutely NO idea...

Google says there is a "Too Low" by Rilo - but I have never heard of either the artist or title.
One of the difficulties might be that what will be obvious in one region will be obscure in another. John Cougar would be an example of that.

 

[isladogs]

If you understood Rock the Casbah, the 2LO clue should be easy. The other may be less well known but, as already stated, is a literal clue.

 

[NauticalGent]

Think of artists who have been granted the title of "sir"...

Elton John, too low for zero

 

[isladogs]

No and no Sir.

Google says ......

2LO - All I can think of is Hello, Goodbye by the Beatles
