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

Hmm...LA natives?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's hardly so selective within the music industry - it's something more detailed than that.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

They've all had sex with Dave Grohl?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Not as far as I know, but if you can provide photographic evidence, Dom...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

All contributed to Brian Wilson going nuts? Okay, so that's just as broad...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

once again, not so selective... this one's hard. jan and dean, hmmmm...

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

I'm not sure Shel Talmy had as much affect on Brian Wilson as quite a lot of other people, Ned.

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

They've all sung songs about car crashes?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Heh, true Martin. ;-) This is a very good question, I have to say.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Shel Talmy is a producer rather than a singer, though. Phil Spector has sorta spoken on things, I guess and Herb lets his trumpet do the talking!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Except all of them other than Jan & Dean, Dom?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Let's break this down -- Phil Spector, producer; Shel Talmy, producer; Herb Alpert, musician; Jan and Dean, musicians. Hm...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

i think i have something alpert "produced", or whatever, but I have to sleep. Good luck everyone.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Okay, I'm leaving that open, as before, but here's another one. There is no chance of my getting a correct answer for one confused with the other...

34. For whom did Serge Gainsbourg write a song about a Harley-Davidson?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Brigitte Bardot.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Although you could get them confused if she had had one HELL of a party in the sixties... ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned is correct, and catching up fast!

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