A bit obscure I know.........:D

[Rick and Roll]

but good - shows thought...........

see you in the morning.

[progdirjim]

4=Randy Rhodes

and I hope I "win" the question, because I'm working on a similar question involving drummers...

[Rick and Roll]

Martin Barre

ooh one!

Both Anagram type clues.

8) Battle after old record label.

His name isn't Norman Conquest and he may enjoy the apple or pumpkin variety even if it is spelt slightly differently.

9) Edward the lathe worker.

His band could be described as "Pulled for luck on thanksgiving plus remains of a smoke."

10) Could he be going off at an angle? - Roine Stolte

[Rick and Roll]

Got to get to work but I took advantage of the time difference to try to beat Jim to it.

6) is steve somebody - Rothery, Morse, Hackett, take your pick.

7) all I could get was glover.

8) is Pye Hastings. The record label reference confuses me.

9) the Band is wishbone ash. I can't make the connection with Turner or Powell, however.

Please solve Jim, and next will be the drummers.

Can't wait for the bell-tree, crotales, or triangle questions!

OK.......

6) Yes!!!! Steve somebody - anagram of See vet who.
7) Anagram of Amid love rug - you'll be in the pink when you get it.
8) Pye Hastings is correct.
9) Wishbone Ash is the band. Think of a short version of Edward and another name for a Lathe Worker.

[Rick and Roll]

6) I was wondering how you would fit Steve Howe in there.
7) David Gilmour
8) Got 8, but still don't know the record label reference.
9)Ted Turner or Jane Fonda

Ok Jim wake up and "snare" us with a question!

[progdirjim]

Truly devious, Keithie.

Same drill, cryptic clues for drummers:

1)Armored vehicle
2)College instructor
3)Shave stonecutter badly
4)Beer truck invoice
5)Generic drummer
6)Where is this guy?
7)Snake
8)He once performed very dense drumming
9)Beyond Pluto
10)Oh no!

each answer is a drummer you can hear somewhere on Aural Moon.

[Rick and Roll]

oops get caps lock off....

not real confident, but -

1) Carl Palmer (Tank)
2) Neil Peart
4)Bill Bruford (good one!)
5) one of the Brand X drummers - there were many. If it is, can I just say Frank Katz?

[progdirjim]

Good job Rick, right on all counts! I was thinking Phil Collins for the Brand X, but any of them is just as correct

I wasn't sure how well know "Professor" was, and I thought Bruford would take a bit longer...

[Rick and Roll]

Got stuck on taking the Bruford as one term. After breaking it down to Bill = invoice, it fell together.

Ladies and gentlemen, the professor on the drum kit!

Well, can't get back to it until much later, so now's the time to worm in anyone!

If I get a few more, I might start thinking about keyboardists......

Rick - 5, everyone else, zero.

I thought Nick Mason was the easiest one. The remaining ones should be a bit harder.

[KeithieW]

6)Where is this guy? - Lenny White, Return to Forever, Where have I known you before?

9)Beyond Pluto - Virgil Donati, Planet X

Still looking at the others and I'm not too sure about 6).

[Rick and Roll]

I was thinking Lenny white for 9 orig cause they did Beyond the 7th Galaxy - but I think you're right!

I already thought of some good ones for keyboards, but I still only have 5 correct.

[moses]

I thought #6 was Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons)

[Rick and Roll]

but I think you are right Moses!

Good, let's get some new blood in here.

Rick - 5 (keep working on the keyboard question, since you'll have the most)
Keith - 1
Moses -1
good job - though I'm surprised no one has gotten 8 yet. But I don't think anyone needs clues yet...

[Rick and Roll]

I have so far at least 8 for the next one, no hurry, shoot for early next week.

The only Snake I know is the cat from Voivod, but they're not on AM!

Could 8) be referring to Barrimore Barlow (Thick As A Brick?) An excellent and underrated tactician of the drum kit.

BBarlow it is, Rick. I agree, very underrated. Two left, probably the hardest of the bunch...

[KeithieW]

7)Snake - Doane Perry, Jethro tull (again) plays on the track Black Mamba?

10)Oh no! - Rod Morgenstein, Dixie Dregs plays on Aftershock.

[Yesspaz]

#7 is Josh Baruth of the Appleseed Cast. His nickname is Cobra. All the liner notes to all TAC's albums say something like...

Christopher Crisci: Guitar, Vocals
Cobra: Drums
Aaron Pillar: Guitar...

etc...

[KeithieW]

10) Alan White - Plastic Oh No!! Band.

You guys are awesome! Final score - Rick - 6; Moses - 1; Yesspaz - 1 (I knew you'd get Cobra spaz, and that no one else would); Keithie - 2

[Rick and Roll]

Continuing on the theme, here are ten more brain busters. The first eight appear on Aural Moon, and the last two do not, but are very well known.

A major hint: all of the clues except for #8 are variations on the keyboardist's name only - no albums, no other references.

1) Swank times by the river?
2) Sweet dreams are made of this namesake.
3) Put-off in the Middle East?
4) Illegal smoke on the water?
5) Jesus loves your wife more than you will know!
6) Revolutionary Prog hero?
7) European high flier, but neither an eagle or a birdie.
8) Finally over the hump, but sadly late, too soon.
9) King of the toilets!!!
10) British cop in sheep's clothing?

1 - Tony Banks
5 - Andrew Robinson (Magus)
6 - John Paul Jones
9 - Alan Loo but you probably mean Elton John

[Rick and Roll]

I was set to reply to your guesses and JPJ appeared!

1 and 6 are right!

I need another Robinson for #5. I'll give you 1/2.

[progdirjim]

I didn't know you were on-line, so I was editing the post. I'll stop that. Elton John is number 9. and John Robinson from French TV for #5

[Rick and Roll]

no need to stop editing posts!

Keith's gonna kill you if you get them right!

Elton John is another good guess, but it does not exactly fit the answer.

I'll give you the Robinson one, since you've already said two of them - Peter from Brand X was it, but there's nothing in the first name that means anything to the clue.

7 - Par Lindh

[KeithieW]

Yeah, Right!!!!!!!!!!

Sod le time difference. I'll never get another look in at this rate.:rolleyes:

But I'll go for;

8) The late, great Peter Bardens.

Jim has 1,3,5,6,7 and Keith has 8. Damn Jim I thought Rudess would be harder!!!

Keith next time I'll post this in the morning. But, there's still four left. Oh, Wakeman is not right, and #2 should be an easier one. #4 is difficult, and 9 & 10 are not on AM, and Jim has eliminated two guesses on #9 already!

[KeithieW]

Bobby Womack???????

[Rick and Roll]

Got the Bobby part right, now go for the sheep...

No no! I mean the clue! Phew, that was close.

[Rick and Roll]

Still four left:

2 and 4 are on Aural Moon, 9 & 10 not, but still very well-known.

Let me know when hints are needed.

2) Sweet dreams are made of this namesake.
4) Illegal smoke on the water?
9) King of the toilets!!!
10) British cop in sheep's clothing?

So far, Jim - 5, Keith - 1

[progdirjim]

I'm thinking #2 is Rick Wright

and even if I'm wrong, I'm definitely still playing - just quite busy with work today...

wild guess for #9 - Pigpen from the Greateful Dead

[KeithieW]

Originally posted by Rick and Roll

Dave Stewart - i) Egg, Hatfields and ii) Eurythmics

4) Illegal smoke on the water?
9) King of the toilets!!!
10) British cop in sheep's clothing?

So far, Jim - 5, Keith - 1

[Rick and Roll]

I was wondering when Dave Stewart would be guessed!

Still steamed about Jordan Rudess - what a guess!

Pigpen not right - but, one of the remaining also has a one word solution!

Left are 4,9,10.

[moses]

4) Illegal smoke on the water?

That would be Seaweed (Ozric Tentacles)

[Rick and Roll]

Well done, that was probably the hardest of the bunch!!!!! (except for maybe Rudess).

Jim 5, Moses 1, Keith 2.

Left are the two non-AM keys, 9 & 10.

Hint: Each was guessed half-right, previously.

[progdirjim]

Originally posted by Rick and Roll

it wasn't a guess - I KNEW :D

[progdirjim]

#9 - John Myung (Played with what's his name from King's X)
- John Gosling (Kinks close to King)

at some point you gotta give me this one for the sheer magnitude of the number of my wrong guesses!

John Tout - "Tout" close to Tut
John Tesh - he's the king of cheese
John Novello, John Medeski, John Evan, John "Rabbit" Bundrick, John Linnell, Dr. John, John Young..........:rolleyes: :o

[Rick and Roll]

side note: I meant to say what a deduction, not guess, although Seaweed was inspired, too!

Let's see, this toilet thing has you flushed! Let's make it easier - the first name is Jon, not John (so sue me for poetic license).

And #10 plays with a band named after a city.................

[progdirjim]

Jon Lord! duh!

[progdirjim]

and Bobby Lamm of Chicago....

good ones...

[progdirjim]

It may take me a day or two to come up with a question, so if Keithie or Moses has one ready, go ahead!

[Rick and Roll]

Final tally - Jim 7, Keith 2, Moses 1.

Nicely solved!

As the Guardian of Forever said on Star Trek, "I await your question".

[progdirjim]

Okay, we've done bass, drums, guitars, keyboards. What's left? Fortunately, at least one more question in the world of prog! The following are cryptic clues to musicians somewhere on Aural Moon who play an instrument OTHER than the above as their main instrument. (I'm not including vocalists who don't play an instrument.)

He's on the bridge of the Enterprise
Drink named after diner owner
Nose drain an enigma
The ultimate beggar
Large, unintimidating stringman
A decent fellow, despite who he hangs out with
Nice TV, lady!
Sasquatch (guitar is actually this guy's main instrument, but he plays another instrument too)
Honest felines

only 9 this time, so there can't be a two way tie! plus, a few of these might be kind of obscure...

[Rick and Roll]

The Jim solar day....

what's left? all kinds of things - but a great question.

Let's see - I'll guess Ray Shulman (violin) for #5. Phil on Trumpet and Derek on sax are others, but not strings.

For # 1, it's got to be one of the big three. Sulu and Chekov don't work...

What makes yours difficult is that I don't know if it's a band, artist, or other clue - but since they are all on the Moon, it makes it very challenging. Usually I think of a name and match it to the clue.

For instance, Morris Pert I was fitting in to #9, but it doesn't work.

[Rick and Roll]

Jerry Goodman! Great clue!

you can do that as another one!

Well I've spent enough time here, going to take my 2 pt lead into the evening....

[progdirjim]

I sort of did include one percussionist...

you've got 4 and I'm not looking at it much today. Very nicely done (why I didn't think of the Next Generation is beyond me). Patrick Stewart's a fine actor, but the idea of an Englishman playing a Frenchman is weird.

Again, good clues and solutions!

[Rick and Roll]

Mel Collins for the drink named after a bar owner!!!

Nice TV, Lady! and Honest Felines!!!!

Let's go!

Good work chaps! Keith - 4 Rick - 3
Nice TV, lady! is the hardest; I'm surprised no one's gotten the honest felines...

[Rick and Roll]

I wasn't thinking Frank Katz cause to me he's mostly a drummer - you did say there's one on there, though.

I'm addled about the nice TV thing, what does it refer to?

Wish I had more time to think today, it's turning into a long one.

OK Keith - CD titles, song titles, artists, or any other whimsy or faff
:)
you may come up with. We the masses are ready!

Vanessa Mae has one tune on AM called "Widescreen".....that's a nice TV (wish I could afford one :( )

Thought I'd round this little series off with singers. Well we've had everything else.

I'll be back!!!!

[progdirjim]

You guys know already, but Vanessa Mae is correct. Great job, I thought it might take just a bit longer.

Frank Katz is a midi-vibraphonist - I consider that significantly different than the trap drum set. I can play the trap drums fairly well, but the midi-vibes would present a fair challenge.

Take it away, Keithie!

[KeithieW]

OK. Singers/vocalists. Nine clues so that we don't get a tie. Some are, I think tricky, but knowing you guys there will be no problems.

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same.
2) Angel after decrease.
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it!
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air.
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Good luck chaps

Peter Hammill?

oops.

if I win, I'll concede to Rick since that might have been a big enough mistake to change the final outcome...

[progdirjim]

2 is Peter Gabriel

[KeithieW]

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it!
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air.
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

[Rick and Roll]

a) absolutely no need to cede any rightly won inane and superfluous contests, Jim. That Frank Katz was a great clue and had no bearing on the outcome.

b) again I am confused. The Gabriel reference - my brain must be fried, I don't understand.

c) that Hammill was a shot in the dark. I think I'm wrong that it was the 3rd VDGG, anyway!

[progdirjim]

Angel = Gabriel, after Peter = decrease

H to He was the first VDGG, I think. could be #2

I've had a disease with members of the extended Brand X lately - Mr. Robinson on your last question eluded me because I thought of Brand X, then I got confused thinking Robin Lumley was the only keyboardist...

6 is Annie Haslam. 7 is Bernardo Lanzetti from PFM - sang on the Jet Lag album. And maybe 8 is Jon Anderson - swiss reference to Moraz, "no" opposite (obviously) of Yes? 9 is Fish.

[KeithieW]

Jim, I'm guessing you meant #4 to be Annie Haslam not #6 and #7 is indeed Bernado. Mr Anderson does feature but is NOT #8. Fish is wrong but I see where you're coming from.

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it! - Annie Haslam
5) Kith and Kin.

They are all to be found on AM.

8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Actually the reason is that on "The Yes Album" he's listed as JoHn Anderson.......which sounds the same as Jon Anderson. How obscure is that one?:D

Jim 4 Others 0

[progdirjim]

I have The Yes Album and never noticed the "h" in John! The third album is also the one Steve Howe replaced Peter Banks on; I thought H (symbol for hydrogen) owe (ow! meaning by mistake) was what you were referring to. If I was wrong on this one, I would have refused to guess Jon again - I mean, I could have gone through them one at a time until I got it right...

C'mon Rick, still time for a late surge!

[KeithieW]

Superb lateral thinking there Jim.......your mind is SHARP!!!!!

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it! - Annie Haslam
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air. - Bernado Lanzatti
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Come on Rick. One of them is from a favourite band of yours.

[Rick and Roll]

I've been very busy, I feel I'm letting you down. I'll tak a quick run later and I should have time Friday afternoon for one more try.

Speaking of Howe, you ever notice how Peter Banks looks just like Steve Howe on the front of "Time and a Word"?

[Rick and Roll]

the only shots I have are Thijs Van Leer and Richard Sinclair for the last two.

Sometimes you just blank out - I've tried all I could......

Absolutely correct with the last two Rick.

van Leer is notable for his yodelling (Swiss) and focus recorded the track "Eruption"

Dick (abreviation for Richard) and Sinclair manufactured the popular, at the time, ZX znd ZX Spectrum home computers.

Jim 4 Rick 2

Of the other 3. One is an anagram type clue. One clue leads directly to a band and hence the singer in that band and the last clue when translated leads directly to a song title by this singer.

Give it another shot Rick. You can still win. :D

[Rick and Roll]

I'll guess John Wetton for Kith and Kin.

I suspected the Vicious dean was an anagram but it's not coming to me.

Have to come back to it later, need to make $$$.

[progdirjim]

is 6 David Bowie? Changes...
How about Kith and Kin = Ian Anderson.

The reason you gave for Bowie wasn't what I had in mind. Check the playlist for titles by bowie and you'll see what I meant.

hah!

Like Rick, I knew #3 was an anagram. Unlike Rick, I finally got it, and the whole reference. Dave Cousins from that fruity band, the STRAWBerryS.

and I think you had one too many I's and one too few S's.

Still curious about friends and family...

Jim 6.25 Rick 2

[Rick and Roll]

I thought Wetton sang with them but I cheated and looked on the Web. If it is the main guy from Family, then we're done.

I got smoked!

[progdirjim]

Maybe you got "smoked", but I was lucky - I got two right for the wrong reason. For the next question, I'm going to try to come up with something totally new, hopefully it won't take long...

[KeithieW]

I was thinkig "Roger Chapman" for Kith and Kin.

Final listing:

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit. - Dave Cousins (or it would be if I'd got the letters right)

Well done chaps.

[progdirjim]

Let's see if this works.

What two songs, on Aural Moon, would lead you to conclude that "Loving Is Nothing"?

[Rick and Roll]

beep beep does not compute help I'm breaking up what does it mean illogical must sterilize.

Oh sorry, just kidding.

Two songs by diffrent artists?

[progdirjim]

yes, in this case, two songs by different artists.

[KeithieW]

Originally posted by progdirjim

I'm guessing then that they're foreign languages. :(

If they ain't French or German I'm completely lost and if they are I'm a complete Berk.........which I probably am!

[progdirjim]

not French, not German. Both artists happen to be English.

[moses]

I don't know if this is what progdirjim means, but perhaps it's a two-step process, like:

(Artist 1)
"Loving is _____"

(Artist 2)
"_____ is Nothing"

Also - they're English like from the UK, or that's their native language?

[Rick and Roll]

You mean like "Nothing Is Easy" (Tull) and "Easy Meat" (Zappa)?

[moses]

Perhaps "Jethro Tull - Nothing is Easy"

and

"Barclay James Harvest - Loving is Easy"

Therefore Loving is Nothing?

[Rick and Roll]

If you're right, I'd be happy to take the assist.

Nice job!

[progdirjim]

Exactly right Moses, nice job!

Funny that you mentioned Easy Meat, Rick, because I was also thinking of "Meat = Money" as the question, combining Easy Meat (Zappa) and Easy Money (KC), but it didn't really work out.

[Rick and Roll]

OK then which one of us is Uncle Meat?

Moses, please part the Aural Sea for a question.....

[progdirjim]

and the BJH song is playing right now.

Since Rick is closer than Jim to Stu, alphabetically, why don't you be Uncle Meat. I'll be one of Calvin's hitch-hikers...

[moses]

OK, this one's all about fowl. Name the artist, song and bird. These are all AM songs.

HINT: The bird may be in the song, not necessarily in the title in all cases.

1. Water, water everywhere
2. Off the wall
3. Holy Spirit wings
4. A royal whim
5. She's your sister?

Hope this isn't too easy...

3) Mehdi - White Dove, Yes - Soft as a Dove
4) Trace - King Bird

Not sure about 2 and I'm still working on the rest.

[moses]

Actually, while those are all valid answers, none of them are the ones I was thinking of. I was worried about there being too many possible correct answers to this one.

However:

1) Albatross is the correct bird (think a different artist)
3) Yes is included, but not #2
4) part of your answer is correct.

5. Pendragon - Sister Bluebird - Bluebird

and no, it's not too easy - good question!

[moses]

1. Pink Floyd - Echoes - Albatross
Correct!

The others are also very good answers but not what I had in mind.

2 - great answer, but I was thinking of a different bird.
3 is a goose, be more specific.
5 is so close, you're almost there.

Score: Jim 1, others 0

[Rick and Roll]

5 is Starship Trooper (Sister Bluebird flying high above) by Yes

the Goose could be a Golden Goose, but only an Iron Maiden tune comes to mind!

A loony for the off the wall?

I apologize that this is turning into a game of "read Moses' mind." It's fun for me anyway. :p

1. Water, water everywhere - Pink Floyd - Echoes - Albatross
2. Off the wall
3. Holy Spirit wings (goose)
4. A royal whim

[Yesspaz]

3.

Iona - The Flight of the Wild Goose (Instrumental)
or
Iona - Here I Stand (Here I stand looking out to sea and I say a prayer that the Wild Goose will come to me."

The Wild Goose is the ancient Celtic symbol of the Holy Spirit.

[Rick and Roll]

Looks good Yesspaz, waiting for confirmation from on high..

Off the Wall (not a cuckoo, maybe a loony)?

AND

A Royal Whim - from the guesses I'm thinking King is part of it - a Kingfisher maybe?

[moses]

Iona - The Flight of the Wild Goose (Instrumental)

is correct.

1. Water, water everywhere - Pink Floyd - Echoes - Albatross
2. Off the wall
3. Holy Spirit wings - Iona - The Flight of the Wild Goose (Instrumental)
4. A royal whim
5. She's your sister? - Yes - Starship Trooper - Bluebird

Since we seem to need hints, here goes:

They're both British bands, both from the 70's, both pretty well known, both still around today (with a few different members).

2. Was intentionally misleading, it has to do with the lyrics in the song... so maybe it's not OFF the wall, but...

4. Royalty has to do with the band's name, the whim has to do with the bird.

Jim 1, Rick 1, Yesspaz 1...

[KeithieW]

2) Porcupine Tree - And the Swallows Dance ............

I've got to get one right for god's sake.

[moses]

Keep trying, here's another hint: it's not a swallow.

PT was around in the 70's?

[KeithieW]

British Band and Birds............

There's a Mockingbird singing songs in MY tree.

BJH?

[Rick and Roll]

I'm quite busy, so I'll help...

Moses said 70's bands, ruling out PT. I think the King refers to King Crimson.

I'm also thinking the Wall is a Floyd refernce.

[progdirjim]

royal whim = King Crimson - Lark's Tongue In Aspic

nice pass, Rick! Easy lay up with that assist...

I was thinking off the wall was a Floyd reference too, so I listened to the whole stinking album (The Wall) but didn't catch it. I did rip the album for addition to the playlist though, so it wasn't a total loss...

[Rick and Roll]

Grenchester (sp) Meadows off Ummagumma has birds tweeting all through it.....

[moses]

royal whim = King Crimson - Lark's Tongue In Aspic

Yes, I would have taken that or any of the parts.

1. Water, water everywhere - Pink Floyd - Echoes - Albatross
2. Off the wall
3. Holy Spirit wings - Iona - The Flight of the Wild Goose (Instrumental) - Goose
4. A royal whim - King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic - Lark
5. She's your sister? - Yes - Starship Trooper - Bluebird

Just one more. I would have thought you'd have this one by now. It's not too difficult. In fact, it's nothing at all. ;)

That's the one I was thinking of. I had no idea there were so many bird brains on the Moon. Final score:

Jim 2, Rick 2, Yesspaz 1

Want a tiebreaker, or do you just want to flip for it?

[progdirjim]

why doesn't Rick take it, since his assist on KC - Lark was key, and I've posed a question more recently....

[Rick and Roll]

I can do one but it would be in a day or two - work is quite the bitch. I didn't expect to be competitive on this question, that's why I punted it before.

I should be able to do one by Wed.

[progdirjim]

go for it - I'm going to be out of the competition for most of the next two-three weeks between work, skiing, and London - I may get a guess or two in if Keithie lets me near his computer though...

[Rick and Roll]

The travelling theme ties in well with the next question. I have some research to do, and this is a busy week for me, so hopefully you will see it by Monday.

It will involve the use of DISTANCE.

[moses]

is it...

D=RxT

by the Pixies?

[Rick and Roll]

Originally posted by moses

by the Pixies?

funny! Actually it will be ten questions, and you will get extra points for getting them right without clues. As the clues are given, the point value decreases.

Don't worry it's not nearly as complicated as it sounds.

I'll try to ask them by Monday.

[Rick and Roll]

OK, let's see how this goes. What you need to do is tell me, based on the clues, the two geographical regions mentioned. They could be countries, US states, or cities around the globe. Hell, there's even a space question!

There's no need to identify the songs, just the places. Each place could be part of a song title, or more frequently, part of a lyric. All of the artists are on Aural Moon, but three or four songs are not. I've also pinned each clue down to the continent,

Without clues, I'll give you a bonus point. Otherwise, it's one for each question.

Example: If I say, 90 miles from North America Elton John to North America Zappa, the answer would be Philadelphia (Freedom) and Baltimore (what's new in Baltimore). They are approx 90 miles apart. Let's go:

1) 600 miles from Eurasian Focus to European Jethro Tull.
2) 1,000 miles from Asian Rush to Asian Dregs.
3) 1,900 miles from North America Genesis to N. A. Djam Karet.
4) 1,000 miles from North America Zappa to N.A. Supertramp.
5) 0 miles from Noth American Transatlantic to Flower Kings.
6) 500 miles from North American Yes to N.A. King Crimson.
7) 60 light years from Celestial FM to Gentle Giant.
8) 1,430 miles from Central America ELP to North Amer Marillion.
9) 2,700 miles from African Al Dimeola to African Peter Gabriel.
10) 750 miles from European UK to European Mike Oldfield.

Have fun, plenty of clues available!

[KeithieW]

1) Turkey - Budapest
2) Bangkok - Seattle
5) Memphis
7) Aldebaran - The Moon

I'll get working on the rest in a while.

[Rick and Roll]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Keith Waye
[B]1) Turkey - Budapest Very close - Budapest is right and Turkey is close in proximity (very close) - I forgot Focus has a tune called "Turkey Lurkey" - however, I did not include place names if they weren't meant to be (eg PG's "San Jacinto" refers to the Indian, not the city so it wouldn't be admissible). Now here's the tricky part - It's a lyric in a Focus song (that should greatly narrow it down).
2) Bangkok - Seattle Bangkok is right, looking for Asia with the Dregs.
5) Memphis NO
7) Aldebaran - The Moon Yes! Check Avian for the distance
:)

So, Keith has 2 for #7, and a half point each for the other two = 3 points total.

Keith with another half! Yes the mighty Bosporus. Why is that not on AM????

Keith 4
VAX 2.5

[KeithieW]

If it's 2 per quezzie and 1 for half right I make that:

K= 6
V= 3

Or is my brain still crapped out?

[Rick and Roll]

I should mark you down, mortal! Oh sorry, I'm back now - to answer your inquiry:

I gave each of you 2 pts for the initial correct guesses. VAX was #3, and yours was #7. Then you get one pt for any other pair of correct guesses (if they were guessed incorrectly at least once). You had #1 and #2.

VAX gets a half for Toronto (#8). I did this to ensure no one "pirates" the whole answer (oops is that a clue?????????).

So, Keith = 2 + 1 +1 = 4 and
VAX - 2 + .5 = 2.5

Left are #'s 4,5,6,8,9,10, and half of #8.

The mathematics may not seem to add up, but it's a MRNR scoring system (modified RicknRoll).

Mexico is not considered C.A.

C.A. is not a continent such as N.A. and S.A. but a collective to refer to the 7 countries betwwen Mexico and Columbia.

I was looking for another location for the Supertramp, Zappa is correct. If the two you mentioned are close to 1,000 miles, I'll give you the two points. If not, you get 1/2.

On another question I was actually looking for Broadway instead of NYC, but of course they are in the same city.

For number 6, the King Crimson one could be New York City or (if you're sneaky) Providence.

Texas was the answer I was looking for.

It's got to be about 500 miles to Saginaw... of course likely longer if you hitchhiked.

Yes: America

London (Waterloo and Park Lane) from UK's Rendezvous - Scotland (Tons of Oldfield references to Scotland)

Rendezvous 6:02
(Jobson/Wetton)

It's 5 o'clock
driving sown Park Lane
and London leaves
for the weekend again
through the dark city streets
in the clinging rain
I take my car
towards the Thames
and Waterloo.....

6:02 Waterloo

Was that a face I saw?
No, just a trick of light
It's getting clearer now
but moving out of sight
It's cold and late
and I can't miss that train

I turn around
walk through the arch
of Waterloo

I saw the same hooded face

He beckoned me from the gate
"Did you not know, my friend?
Ten years ago was the end
After the war
Waterloo was no more,
But your ticket states
There is one train
It's leaving now
And there is a place

Remember my face
and Waterloo....."

One question to go (#10), it's VAX up a full point on Keith (but not a full pint).

[Rick and Roll]

the Oldfield is close, and the UK is not what I was looking for. The distance is 750 miles between them, so Scotland and Waterloo do not fit.

I believe both songs are not on the Moon (when I checked before).

Keith, if you get this one, it's a tie! If VAX gets 1/2 he wins!

UK's Carrying No Cross references Germany, if that be it.

VAX 7.5
Keith 6.5
Moses .5

The other 1/2 was Ireland (from "Orabidoo" on Five Miles Out).

Nice job everyone!

A question from VAXman awaits!

I was just researching MO lyrics. When you said
Scotland was close, I figured maybe Wales or Ireland...

Okay, I've gotten around to creating a "Prog Trivia" forum area where we can do this in multiple threads. I'd do one thread per question, to make it easier for people to follow. Plus, it lets you post multiple questions if you want. I'm moving this thread over there now, but I suggest that we abandon in it and post new threads in the forum.

[Rick and Roll]

I was going to suggest putting these 47 pages in a backup thread, but I like your idea better.

Nice job!

good geography question Rick - unfortunately I was "geographically disadvantaged" and didn't get to play...

OK. The following phrases imply a song lyric:
one entire line or some part(s) of it.

Figure out the lyric and then state the Artist and song's title. For example:

mixed poultry products ... It's Scrambled Eggs
Genesis: Aisles of Plenty

1. saliva sanitation
2. two jiggers of scotch
3. Edison's company pet
4. sacrosanct annal darkness
5. repeated momento theft
6. settled alientated
7. dark azure timepiece
8. tercentenary expiration
9. any departing comments?
10. everyone genuflected

All of the answers save for one are in the AM playlist. All of the artists are in the playlist.

I hope these aren't too easy or too difficult.

Okay, I'm gonna lock this thread. Post all new trivia questions in their own thread so folks can find them easier (and respond to multiple questions).
