Um, ok....

Who wrote the song "Hallelujah"? Name two musicians who have covered it.

Leonard Cohen wrote it.

John Cale and Jeff Buckley covered it.

Speaking of covers: What is the name of the band that recorded the original version of REM's Superman?

'Twas The Clique

{Edit}

I'm pretty sure that's right, so I'm gonna go with a new question. If it's not right, please feel free to ignore the following:

Describe the various incarnations of Pink Floyd, starting with the band that made the album "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" through the present day. No need to identify dates or albums. Just getting the personnel in the right order will do

Bonus points if you correctly answer the question "Which one's Pink?"

You are correct. Sorry for the delay.

Ok.... for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to assume you mean just the core band members, and not the "recruited" musicians. *grins*

1. Roger Waters (bass)
Nick Mason (drums)
Richard Wright (keyboard)
Syd Barret (guitar)

2. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
Syd Barret
David Gilmour (guitar) (recruited to cover for Syd)

3. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
David Gilmour

4. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
David Gilmour
(Michael Kamer and Andy Bown played keyboards)

5. David Gilmour
Nick Mason
(David won the rights to the name "Pink Floyd" in court)

6. David Gilmour
Nick Mason
Richard Wright

Bonus: 'Sfar as I know, none of the band members are "Pink". Syd named the band The Pink Floyd Sound after Pink Anderson & Floyd Council, two blues musicians. When Bob Close left the band (before "Piper at the Gates of Dawn") they changed the name to Pink Floyd.

You'll have to give me a bit to come up with a new question. I'm still happily reminiscent over this one.... I got to call an old friend for help on the timeline *grins*, and talking to him always segues into hours of convo about the past.

Ok, presuming I got the previous question correct... and I'm fairly certain I did, but if I didn't then ignore this. *grins*


Name two hits on which Jeff Beck is an uncredited guitarist. (song title and artist, please)

Yes, that's right, though the answer to the bonus question was, of course, Roger Waters.... I mean Syd Barret...... I mean Roger Waters...... I mean....

24 hour rule? I was thinking he was credited for Rod Stewart's version of People Get Ready so that's probably wrong and I don't know the other one.

Tap, tap.... is this thing on?

Ok, well, 24 hour rule and all, the answer to this question was
"Hurdy Gurdy Man," by Donovan; and "Superstition," by Stevie Wonder.

Since no one got my first question, I'm posting another......


What famous three piece band had Frank Zappa produce an album for them in 1976?

Wild Guess- The Police

Nope, too early for them, and too late for the only other famous three piece that jumps to mind, Cream.

Aw, I looked it up and didn't know they were a three-piece. Don't know much about them at all, really.

Can I give a hint to the crowd?

Genesis?? Or were they still a 4-piece then with Peter Gabriel still singing?

*grins and winks* Since it's you, hint away.

hee hee

Ok, everyone

think "classic rock" in the true, early-to-mid-70s style.

Think bands that did nothing after the 70s other than tour on nostalgia tours.

Think bands that the critics never liked, but that nevertheless produced a huge number of albums in the early-to-mid-70s (and it ain't Boston)

*blows kisses to Balderdash* Thank you so very much.... Those are great hints.

Grand Funk?

*stands and applauds riotously* Yay! Finally! I was beginning to think I posted impossibly difficult trivia questions. *hides a smug grin*

Anyway, question to you, Sion.

I believe, technically, it was Grand Funk Railroad.

As a native of the Flint area, I am ashamed to not know that.

Sadly enough, Terry Knight was recently murdered in Texas trying to defend his daughter against her boyfriend. Even though the band had not spoken to him in 30 years, he was the driving force behind their early success.

In the early days of their career, The Who appeared on many British (& German) TV shows, such as Ready, Steady, Go and others. But they made only one appearance on an American variety TV program. What show was it, and what happened on that appearance that kept them from doing others?

I believe it was the Ed Sullivan show, and they weren't asked to do any other shows because of an unexpectedly large pyro explosion under Keith Moon's drum kit.

you got half of it right, balderdash

The show was the Smother's Brothers show. The part about the explosion you got right.

I'll give the question to Balderdash111 though.

GoT is correct

I'll yield the question to GoT, since I can't think of a good one right now

Back to Grand Funk Railroad, a topic that hits close to home.

What was the first album the group released after firing their manager, Terry Knight?

gonna go with Pheonix.........

Kind of a fitting name huh?

Phoenix...rising from the ashes. So to speak.

Your go Flyman

cool..............so the manager, Terry Knight......is not this dudes real name......he changed it to Terry Knight.

what was his name prior to changing it to Terry?

OT, but related:

Did y'all know he (Terry Knight) was murdered Monday night (a week ago)? Weird that we're all talking about him.... I had no idea when I posted the first question.

I know the answer to this, lol, so..... Richard Terrance Knapp

'K, my turn. I think this one is a little easier than the last couple I posted. *grins*

Andy Warhol conceived and photographed the cover of which Rolling Stones album?

Ooh! I think I know this one. Sticky Fingers!

*Edit* Since I happen to know that one is right, here is another softball

What musician do Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Kate Bush have in common?

Roy Harper

Hats off to Harry Cox for know that.

nice one Sion............hahahahahaha........



good tune too.......



Bryndian_Dhai.......you are sooooo right.........easy one wasn't it?

Yep. Thought the Kate Bush inclusion might stump a few, but apparently not.

I knew the Zep and Floyd connections but what about Kate Bush?

They did a song together. What else?
