Can you match rock stars to the movies they starred in?
Which groups appeared in Hold On, Head, Flame and more?

You know you've made it as a rock band when an entire movie is based around your music. You're even cooler when you get to star in the movie yourself. (Although, admittedly, sometimes the acting is better left to the professionals.)
We've gathered a dozen of our favorite rock movies from the Fifties through the Eighties. We'll even show you a fragment of the movie poster.
Can you match these movies to the correct musicians?

Slade made a comback in the early 80s with "Run Runaway."
Seems like most people missed #12, including me. Got the rest though. I've heard of those 3 bands, but really don't know their music. Was little kid in the 70s....
I was 11/12. Missed the last one on Slade. I vaguely remember the band but when they said British I thought of "Mott the Hoople". They did a few of David Bowie's songs. As for the first question, a ten-year old could get "Hard Day's Night".

Yes, even those who missed the question now know that Peter Frampton was in the Sgt Pepper movie, but who played the actual Sgt Pepper in that film?
Why, none other than Billy Preston, the only performer credited along with the Beatles on one of their records. And the song Robert Stigwood had him sing in that movie was "Get Back". On the rooftop!
