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

I couldn't get the answers confused, because she is not the answer to the previous one - which is still there and available!

35. About which painter did indie group McCarthy sing?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Latest scores, by the way, with Q33 and 35-50 available: Billy on 8, Dom 0n 6, Sean and Ned on 5, SJ on 3, Andrew on 2.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Georg Grosz?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned is not right this time.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ah well.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hm. No other guesses? On this, or Q33, still awaiting answer? Should I ask another?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Either that or I'm the only person around! Ask a new one!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK. Note 33 and 35 are still open, though.

36. By what two names was Pere Ubu's lead singer known?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

David Thomas and Crocus Behemoth

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Met him briefly in 1991, actually -- friendly guy, said that Peter Murphy got the cover of "Final Solution" wrong by taking out the solo!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned is right.

37. Who was Mungo Jerry's lead singer?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ray Dorset...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Right again. Perhaps we're the only ones still here!

38. Which 'new country' star covered Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think we are! Lyle Lovett.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Right again, and you're now in joint first! If no one else is playing, I think you're firm favourite.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

39. With whom did vocalist David Barker score huge hits?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's something! But I'll be leaving here for lunch shortly, so I expect the crown will not be worn forever. The Upsetters?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, but you're in the right country, Ned.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 16:48 (twenty-one years ago) link
