Mike Tyler

54-40 formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1981.  The group takes their name from James K. Polk’s presidential campaign slogan “Fifty-Four Forty or Fight,” which sought to expand the U.S. border northward.  By the time of the band’s self-titled album in 1986, their folk/roots approach had earned them favorable comparisons to R.E.M. Subsequent albums found the band moving into harder-edged territory.  What band had tremendous success with their cover of the 54-40 song “I Go Blind”?

A)  Hootie and The Blowfish

B)  The Wallflowers

C)  Tom Petty
