QAS2: The Cars and the Everly Brothers  
**Bye Bye Love** , my favorite Cars song.

QAS3: Van Halen & Cream  
Were you going for Cream’s **Sitting on Top of the World** and Van Halen’s **Top of the World**? I can’t think of any others.

QJC1 - Sunny Day Real Estate and Led Zeppelin

QJC2 - Rush and Golden Earring

QJC3 - Rush and Voxtrot and Fountains of Wayne

QJC4 - Avril Lavigne and Velvet Revolver

QJC5 - Sebadoh and Tool

QJC6 - Incubus and James Taylor and The Refreshments

I don’t think anyone got this one either:

Q#2 Bon Jovi and Pink and Linkin Park  
(it would be giving it away to say who had a big hit with this name in 1961 - but I will clue that this song and artist were referenced in other songs by Tom Petty and BareNaked Ladies)

That’s the one I was thinking of. But I realized just too late for the edit that there’s another valid answer for Jethro Tull-Sparks:

“Ladies”
