― sj (sinner), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

And Ned is off the mark! Note again that Q16 is still unanswered and available for a few more minutes(I'll close it after 30 minutes), but (mentioning again that these are random)...

21. By what name was Mary O'Brien better known?

Goddesslike, surely. :-)

No, that was Sandie Shaw

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Billy is right. So is Ned, technically, but he doesn't get points for that.

22. For which group did Mike Smith sing lead and play keyboards? (I hope there aren't multiple answers to this! This lot had several big hit records.)

24. What disco classic did World Domination Enterprises cover?

I'm not sure if there was a Deanie Sands, but he certainly was never a star. But welcome aboard Andrew.

No, no, no, Billy.

Good try CJ, but no.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh. I know it was the other one....

Do I get a point for knowing it was the first ever UK #1 with a synth solo in it?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Not "Rock Your Baby"? Oh wait, that was the first with a drum machine...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Billy is right again. Sorry, Dom, no bonuses for random extra facts.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Andrew's being unlucky with the speed, but you and Dom are both right. It's a really good novel, too!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Damn this metal body, I wasn't fast enough

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Leonard Cohen?

I need a faster connection.

My 33k modem may start to cost me points now...

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

I keep thinking the Wastrels or something... I know where to look it up, but that'd be cheating.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Velvet Underground

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've not heard of the Wastrels - obviously if you can point me at evidence that he was in such a group, I will correct my reaction (and this applies to any of these questions - I am not the Pope of Music, so I am fallible), but otherwise, not correct.

Billy: no, it just sounds like it...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

in his dreams that is.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

No shit is it England's Glory?

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, Andrew's got it, and is off the mark.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:49 (twenty-one years ago) link
