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.

27. Who wrote the novel Beautiful Losers? (Yes, it is a music question.)

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

Oh god, I knew this one! Chicory Tip, etcetera. Oh well.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lenny Cohen

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Leonard Cohen

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

Bah, beaten again.

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

Sounds like it should be Brett Anderson from Suede but I don't know

― 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.

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

Even with cable I'm getting my butt kicked here. Grr, grr! ;-)

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

28. What was Peter Perrett's group before the Only Ones?

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

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

29. What was America's first posthumous number one?

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

Richie Valens - La Bamba

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's not the answer I have, Billy. Do we have evidence of that? I could be wrong...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wasn't Sam Cooke, was it? Or maybe Otis Redding...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a total guess Martin. I don't even know if it made #1.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Dock of the Bay"? I have no idea on this one.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Looking it up, La Bamba was a hit before Valens died, not after.

Mm. Andrew is right. On my one guess then someone else rule, I would only have taken Sam Cooke from Ned, then waited for another to guess before answering his second one, so no half-points or anything like that.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

More than fair, methinks. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm afraid I'm going to have leave now guys. I'm off to see the Guru tonight and I have to freshen up. I'll check in later.

Best of luck y'all.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned gets the points. He reminded me.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Bye Billy and thanks for playing - your lead might remain!

30. By what name is Marvin Lee Aday better known?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Rollercoaster" by Buddy Holly?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think Dom should get that one for the hilarity alone. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, I'm still giving Andrew the points - Ned took the risk of putting more than one guess there, making his second one fair game!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

me too! I dunno, marvin gaye?

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Marvin Lee Aday is not better known as any kind of Rollercoaster. Marvin Gaye is closer, in that it is a human being, but still wrong.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Meatloaf

― sj (sinner), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

And if it's not Rollercoaster" by Buddy Holly, it's Meatloaf

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

chuck berry. I should stop semiguessing.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dom is right this time!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

And Dom moves into second, and the leader has left the building!

31. Whose poetry was published under the title Warlock Of Love? (An easy guess, if you don't know.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Marc Bolan.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

marc bolan?

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned is of course correct. Didn't think that'd take long.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

donny osmond?

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ooh, unlucky Jel - it could easily have been Donny.

32. Name three of the four covers on the early live EP by Eddie and the Rods.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

damn this metal body, ETC

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ooh, a pause. They seemed important at the time, you know!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Gloria," "Satisfaction," "96 Tears"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well done Ned: the other was Get Out Of Denver, for the record.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

33. What do Phil Spector, Shel Talmy, Herb Albert and Jan & Dean have in common?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:11 (twenty-one years ago) link
