Classic rock, including big guitar hits from the Sixties, Seventies and even the Eighties, is woven into our collective cultural consciousness. Bands like Pink Floyd, The Doors, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Alice Cooper and many other artists pounded out hits for the radio year in and year out. Many of their most famous songs specified certain locations or even name-checked lucky places around the world, immortalizing them in everlasting radio fame. If we give you partial song lyrics, can you name the locations mentioned in these classic rock songs?
Here’s your first chance. Do you know this famous song from Deep Purple? “____ woman / If she get to know you / She goin' to own you / _____ woman.” She’s the woman who, “makes heads turn at the drop of her name.” She’s the “Kentucky Woman,” and the song was originally written by Neil Diamond before it became a rock staple.
