Pigpen. Can't think of his real name.

Correct! Real name Ron McKernan. Take it away Tully.

Ok, where did Radiohead play it's first gig?

No one?

Clue- tavern that lunched a few bands back in the 90's.

I'm a big radiohead fan, but it's limited mostly to the music...I don't know much about their history and all that...

Ok, times up The Jericho Tavern, Oxford.


Ok, lets try this again...

What Detroit rocker co-wrote The Eagles #1 hit "Heartache Tonight?"

It doesn't sound Henley to me so I've got to guess Glenn Frey?

Would that be Bob Seger?

That would be Bob Seger.

Yer up.

Thanks!

Which 1970's-80's punk/post-punk outfit used to open their own shows as a satirical Christian soft-rock band named 'Dove'?

No idea but sounds like something the Velvet Underground would do.

nope, not even close...think a little later on...

Hmm, Dove... Devo?

Well done! You are correct, sir...you're up.

Never heard that before, complete shot in the dark. I credit a report of maps.


Who was the first bass player for the Rolling Stones?

Let me go for the stupid and obvious: Bill Wyman.

Nope

Couple more hours and I'll post an easier question.

Dick Taylor was the first bass player for the Stones.

Whats the first song ever written by Jagger and Richards?

Is it a well-known Stones song?

It was released by them but was a hit for another singer. My guess is you've heard of it.

If this one proves too hard also, I'll accept the first #1 UK single to be written by Jagger/Richards and released by The Stones.

Sooner or later I'll find a Stones trivia someone knows.

Was it 'As Tears Go By?'

As Tears Go By, which made Maryanne Faithfull a star.

Dang it, MM. Cross posting....

Yep, you're up.


Their first #1 UK single? "This could be the last time"

yikes, I missed this last night somehow...I'm pathetic at keeping up with updates, heh.

anyway, wow, I'm really surprised that was the first song they wrote...it's so sweet, lol

ok...

Which 1980's new wave diva contributed vocals and voiceover dialogue to the Frank Zappa concept album Thing-Fish.

Was it Ronnie Specter? (Or the woman from 'Til Tuesday whos name escapes me?)

Kills me I don't have the immediate answer to a Zappa question.

Nope, think early '80s...the only clue I can think of right now would give it away, I'm afraid.

Patti LaBelle?

Nope. I should have specified that she was part of a group. She was the lead singer of the group and had some notoriety for her over-the-top sexual persona.

Don't know her name but pretty sure it's the chick from Missing Persons.

Close enough. Dale Bozzio.
I was going to hint that her husband was a drummer for Zappa, but I thought that might give it away. And he, of course, was also in Missing Persons.

you're up, Tully, again :lol:

Ah! I always confuse Til Tuesday and Missing Persons. And Kajagoogoo. And Bow Wow Wow. And Howard Jones. I think it has something to do with the hair.

haha, that could be it.
I associate Missing Persons with my first car, therefore, you know it's sentimental...

Just picture it: 1982, 17 years old and in beauty school, '78 toyota corolla w. a tapedeck...:lol:

You're kidding about the 78 Corolla, right? If you say white H/back I'm gonna be weirded out.

When did Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young first preform?

nope, not a hatchback. and it was that weird '70s beige that looked a little like silly putty...

was it Woodstock?

Whew!

And yes at Woodstock.

Ya never know what people are going know. UBUP... no UB40 questions please.

that's fine, 'cause I know nothing about UB40.

What was the Talking Head's only Top 10 American hit? (too easy, probably...)

Burnin' down the house?

ya. your turn. :)

(i knew it was too easy)

First one that popped in my head.

With a cost total cost of £12,500 what was the name of Dire Straits first album?
