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?

balderdash111

'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.

Bryndian_Dhai

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.

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?

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?

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)

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.

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

I'll give the question to Balderdash111 though.
