Okay, one of my standard quizzes.
I tend to set a quiz for New Year, where all the answers relate to those who have "passed on" during the previous year.
Some questions have musical links (mods, please allow a couple of days before transferring to BS)
As usual, Please do not post answers in the discussion. A full set of answers will be posted in a few days time in a separate thread. This allows others to attempt the quiz without 'spoilers'.

Yes, I accept that this is somewhat Anglo-centric. I can't help that I live on the Eastern side of "The Pond".
