Pink and Floyd were the last names of two blues musicians that Syd was fond of. I forget the first names...

Another nugget
 
that has slipped my mind over time, I knew that at one point. That's a good clue!

progdirjim 03-31-2004 12:26 PM
how about my guesses Vax?

I'm pretty sure I'nm wrong with 10, but 6 should be right?

Hurray for Jim... he gets #6.

Did you know this or google for it?

Still not right on #10

Rick and Roll 03-31-2004 12:29 PM
What's left and what's the score?
 
I think Jam has 2 (boo on Spock's Beard) and all else have one and three left?

I knew the Procol Harum. #10 was obviously a guess. And I know I've heard the story or whatever behind #9, but it's still eluding me...

not morte macabre and not ozric tentacles.

think sci-fi for at least 2 of the answers.

1 gets lots of play on the moon.

progdirjim 03-31-2004 04:13 PM
#9 is Djam Karet - from Edgar Rice Burroughs...

and #1 - maybe Flower Kings?

It's not the Flower Kings... what song lyric would
that have been?

Your #9 answer is interesting but not it.

Novel, a film, and a recent film remake. I've not
seen the remake.
