― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 14:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is my cue to skidoo. Hopefully this will still be going when I return. Good luck, everyone else!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 25 August 2002 14:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'll ignore the jibe about my singing

for the time being anyway.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 14:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Right again, Billy. Ah, Sean is giving others a chance to catch up!

16. By what name is bluesman Peter Chartman better known?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 14:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Having these quizzes without me -- and then you ask the question I don't the answer to! *stumbles off crying*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, Ned - I'm sure you'll know some of them. Obviously this thread is just my attempt to increase my number of posts to your level. I figure another 5,000 questions and I'll be catching you up...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd point out that with only 15 questions gone, and the top scorer on 5 (and he's wandered off!), someone could come from nowhere to win.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Then I won't be quite so alone any more. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, but if you keep answering me, I won't catch up at all! Actually, take away that first clause - Mark S is the only one who could conceivably catch you.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Okay, question 16 remains open (move away from rock and the answers slow down!), but here's the next one, which will be got instantly...

17. Which #1 hit single did Big Black cover?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

The model

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

See? Billy is right.

18. Name three of the four members of T.Rex.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Marc Bolan, Steve Took, Mickey Finn

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone tie down Billy? I didn't even get the chance to answer the T. Rex question! ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, I'll take that, though the line-up was really Bolan, Finn, Steve Currie and Bill Legend - I'm not sure that they were ever called T. Rex (rather than Tyrannosaurus Rex) while Took was still there. Still, my pedantry has limits...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned, that's an offer I can't refuse!

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Billy is now joint first with Sean, who isn't about.

19. UHF had a minor hit in 1991 with UHF. Who is UHF better known as?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Note that Q16 is still unanswered!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Moby!

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

You lucky man, Billy. ;-) And yes, it was shortened to T. Rex after Took's departure, but hey.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Billy is correct again, and takes the lead!

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

20. By what name is Ellas McDaniel better known?

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

Bo Diddley.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Answer to number 16, please.

― 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?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

The godlike Dusty Springfield

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Goddesslike, surely. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.)

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

Dave Clark Five

― sj (sinner), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Van "The Twat" Morrison

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dom is right, though he may not have been a twat then.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

24. What disco classic did World Domination Enterprises cover?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

He was probably just a little prick then.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Funkytown" (I think...).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chuck Westover

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

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....

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's those pseudonyms, Martin! You're killing us! ;-) Well, part of the time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 August 2002 15:33 (twenty-one years ago) link
