So, "Pretty In Pink" a great teenage growing up movie, oh that's right, we're talking songs here. Actually, one of the songs on my list has the title of the movie, go figure? Here is today's list: 1. This artist often writes about life in Americana in his songs. He is one of the founding members of "Farm Aid" that began in 1985. Our midwestern boy holds the record for #1 hits on "Hot Mainstream Rock hits by a solo artist with seven." MTV was inspired by the song and ran a pink house giveaway contest. 2. The song was a B-side complement on the single "Dancing In The Dark" in 1984. It was not released on an album until 1998. You might know the name of that album if you are a fan. This artist has used car references before having previously released a tune called "Cadillac Ranch." He was a Jersey Shore fixture with a group called "Steel Mill." 3. This group had a couple of nicknames to identify them, one being the "Toxic Twins" and the other "Bad Boys from Boston." The band goes all the way back to the 70's in their musical career. As a matter of fact they are the #1 best selling band of all time in the U.S. Longevity pays off. One final tidbit for those who follow movie stars. The lead singer's daughter is named Liv, and is a popular actress. 4. The song was released in 1981. A hollywood director, not only used the tune in his picture, he titled his 1986 movie "Pretty In Pink" which starred Molly Ringwald. This English rock band was part of the punk scene of 1977. Match the songs with the clues above: 1. Pink Houses 2. Pink Cadillac 3. Pink 4. Pretty In Pink Know the artists/bands? Any references to the clues above in addition to the artists/band answers is always appreciated. Always enjoy responding back. As always, Thanks for Playing! Source- Wikipedia and Song Facts

Yeah, I'm a lousy musical trivia responder, unless it's contemporary country or 40s Big Band. Even the first one I screw up about as much as I get right. The singer of #2 I think is Bruce Springsteen. He's almost synonymous with the Jersey Shore and Asbury Park and he loved singing about blue collar factory work. That's the only one I even am willing to take a stab at.
