The Adric? The Tegan? The Sarah Jane Smith?

Beestie 06-30-2006 10:05 AM

The Who What Where When How

Trilby 06-30-2006 03:19 PM

The Detours.

Elspode 07-01-2006 12:52 AM

Bri is correct. It would have also been reasonable to have accepted "The High Numbers", as they called themselves that briefly as well.

Trilby 07-01-2006 06:23 AM

What do Peter Green and Eric Clapton have in common?

Ibby 07-01-2006 07:02 AM

They're both men? They're both musicians? Too vague...

Trilby 07-01-2006 11:16 AM

Peter Green and Eric Clapton both belonged to what musical group--howzat? ;)

Elspode 07-01-2006 04:41 PM

Well, Clapton, Beck and Page all played in the Yardbirds at one time or another, so let's guess that for Green as well...

Trilby 07-01-2006 05:27 PM

Close, Els, but not quite. :)

JayMcGee 07-01-2006 06:14 PM

john mayalls bluesbreakers?

Trilby 07-01-2006 07:04 PM

YES! They were both in the Bluesbreakers!

Ok, Jay, your turn.

JayMcGee 07-01-2006 07:31 PM

mmmmm.... tbh, I'm outside of your timezone .... any question I asked ( like for example what's the connection between the Yardbirds and 10cc) would have to wait 24 hours for confirmation. I deferr to you, Brianna, to set the next one...... ( you may treat (or ignore)...(have I got the parenethesis right) my question as an academic exercise)...

Trilby 07-01-2006 08:42 PM

On the sit-com Happy Days the Fonz had a friend named Pinky Tuscadero. Pinky had a rockin' little sis named Leather. Who played Leather Tuscadero?

Bonus points if you can tell me who this person was a role model to.

Ibby 07-01-2006 11:12 PM

hey, thats TV trivia...!

Elspode 07-02-2006 10:23 AM

Suzi Quatro?

Trilby 07-02-2006 10:46 AM

Yes, Suzi Quatro!

She inspired Joan Jett


Els, it's your turn!

Elspode 07-02-2006 01:15 PM

The Who's manager from their early years has a famous brother.

Name both.

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 02:13 PM

Terence and Chris Stamp.

Elspode 07-02-2006 03:26 PM

Well met, sir! Your give...

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 04:10 PM

i read it on an album insert sleeve..

name three songs from Uriah Heep's first album.

Elspode 07-02-2006 04:42 PM

The Wizard, Long Black Veil, Stealin'?

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 04:48 PM

it was before that.

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 04:49 PM

The Wizard : Demons and Wizards
Stealin: Sweet Freedom
Long Black Veil? dunno

Elspode 07-02-2006 05:27 PM

This is what happens when one isn't allowed to use reference materials. :sniff:

Gypsy.Real Turned On,Dreammare....all from Very 'eavy Very 'umble...

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 05:41 PM

OK
To make the question a little easier, (maybe that is a little tough...I just happen to have all their work)

Name Uriah Heep's first album.

capnhowdy 07-02-2006 05:44 PM

Great! Correct on both counts!
Lots of folks don't know their drummer ( Nigel Olsson) now drums for Sir Elton John.

YOUR TURN, bebop

be-bop 07-02-2006 05:49 PM

What was the name of the house Jimmy Page bought on the banks of Loch Ness which used to be owned by Aleister Crowley....

JayMcGee 07-02-2006 06:45 PM

mmmmm...... i know its not, but ....
the House of Usher would be so fitting........

Crimson Ghost 07-03-2006 02:30 AM

That would be Boleskine House.

Damn.... you guys are tough!

Well, I used to manage an independant music store, and I have a lot of books on odd subjects.

Now, for the question -

At the end of the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", what is unusual about the gravediggers?

Spexxvet 07-05-2006 02:32 PM

They were asking movie trivia questions, and not music trivia questions?

They were dressed like the Beatles on the front of Abbey Road?

Pancake Man 07-05-2006 03:29 PM

They were singing "Po' Lazarus", a song that didn't exist until the 50's?

Umm, no. And as they were on screen, the question is on topic for this thread.

Again, no.

"Po' Lazarus" was sung at the begining of the movie, not the end.
The song at the end was "Lonesome Valley".

Was worth a try.

Spexxvet 07-08-2006 08:31 AM

Ok, it's been 4 days, I give - what's unusual about them?

Ibby 07-08-2006 08:57 AM

Yeah, tell us.

Trilby 07-08-2006 09:02 AM

I know! But, I can't tell. I cheated and looked it up. It's pretty freakin' obscure, if you ask moi.

yah I cheated too.

wolf 07-08-2006 01:48 PM

I had a suspicion regarding the answer, but screwed up my ability to post it by seeking confirmation and specifics. I don't have a handy question ready anyway.

Pancake Man 07-08-2006 02:39 PM

Can we get a new question?

Crimson Ghost 07-09-2006 03:03 AM

Sorry it took so long to get back here, work and all...

The three gravediggers are members of "The Fairfield Four", of which there are five members.

OK, maybe this one is better -

What song reached #6 on the UK music charts that contained the word "parallelogram" AND was a cover version of a previously released recording?

Spexxvet 07-11-2006 02:42 PM

Ok, this isn't fun anymore. Nobody is even taking a stab. I propose easier questions or shorter guessing periods.

OK, fine.

Answer to my question -
Motorhead - Motorhead

Easier question coming up -

Who sang "Hit Me Baby One More Time"?

How's that? Easy enough for ya?
I mean, I'd hate for trivia questions to have to make ya think.

Clodfobble 07-11-2006 04:18 PM

Bah. Math and logic puzzles make you think. Trivia you either know or you don't, that's why it's trivia.

Brittney Spears sang "Hit Me Baby One More Time"


Name the ska band whose one-hit-wonder single was a remake of Dexys Midnight Riders' "Come On Eileen."

Ibby 07-11-2006 04:34 PM

Ho shit, I have that motorhead song on my iTunes... but its motorhead, who listens to the WORDS in a motorhead song?

EDIT: Save Ferris? They're ska, arent they?

They were considered ska when I was in high school... on the other hand, emo meant something totally different back then, so one can never be sure. But yes! Ibram is correct!

Ibby 07-12-2006 10:58 AM

What album, by whom, contains, above the FBI ANTI PIRACY WARNING, the text
"THIS ARTIST DOES NOT ENDORSE THE FOLLOWING WARNING. THE F.B.I DOESNT HAVE HIS HOME PHONE NUMBER AND HE HOPES THEY DON'T HAVE YOURS."?

wolf 07-12-2006 09:45 PM

Just a wild guess ... Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers of Prevention

Oh. No. that couldn't be it. Too early for a piracy warning. That would have been a vulgarity warning.

nevermind.

Clodfobble 07-13-2006 05:37 PM

I'll wild guess Moby, on the album "Play."

Ibby 07-13-2006 06:11 PM

This one may be too obscure... it's Elvis Costello's The Delivery Man.

Which album famously contains the text TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME on its back cover?

barefoot serpent 07-14-2006 09:15 AM

Bowie -- The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars

Ibby 07-14-2006 09:58 AM

dingdingding!

got it.

barefoot serpent 07-14-2006 11:07 AM

OK
name the band whos eponymous BUT unlabelled album cover was replaced by a second cover.

Ibby 07-14-2006 11:09 AM

Metallica? Zeppelin?

barefoot serpent 07-14-2006 11:10 AM

hint: 12 inch era, the name was only on the cello wrapper.

Undertoad 07-14-2006 11:17 AM

Velvet Underground?
