O.k. Here is a good one.
Ready? O.k
There are only five rock bands in music history to have two of their albums sell more than 10 million copies in the U.S. Can you name the bands?
edited to add U.S.

Good guess, Joe. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are correct. The rest are not.

Are you talking U.S. sales only or worldwide?

O.k, this is a little bit of a tough one? We got two of them here with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Can someone guess the other three? I know one of you knows this

Van Halen is one of them. Much to the chagrin of Van Hagar fans, they're both from the Diamond Dave era: Van Halen I and 1984.

Awesome! We got two more of them with Van Halen and The Beatles. Just one more left. Any guesses? You will kick yourself when you hear who it is.
You guys are making some great guesses. It is surprising that some of them aren't on the list as well.

Yes! It was Def Leppard.
Their most successful album, Hysteria, was released in August of 1987, it hit number one both the top 200 and U.K Charts; it then went on to sell over 20 million copies. The other one to sell more than 10 million copies was Pyromania.
I am curious with why they aren't listed on that page you linked, Joe? I think they need to check their facts.
