beat me to it!
Both of you guys hit the nail right on the head. It was an excellent question.

Here's another crazy link question. Connect Rush to Kansas. Hint: A link at the beginning may involve people playing on one song of a solo album. Here's the format of how I did it:

Rush
(person)
(person)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
Kansas

I just came up with a completely different route that's longer but perhaps easier with the following format:

Rush
(person)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
Kansas

This one's got more progressive rock relevance too.

I just thought of a way to shorten the previous one:

Rush
(person)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
(band)
(person)
Kansas

This is so much fun!

I just thought of a few more variations. Due to the amount of possible answers, I'm expecting at least 3 from everybody.

Maybe a match?
I'm not sure if it's exactly one of the three suggested, but I have:

Rush
Alex Lifeson
Les Claypool
Ozzy Osbourne (on a smokin' remake of N.I.B.)
Black Sabbath
Ronnie James Dio
Rainbow
Ritchie Blackmore
Deep Purple
Steve Morse
Kansas

Matt Cameron
Tony Iommi
Black Sabbath
Ian Gillan
Deep Purple
Steve Morse
Kansas

Rush
Geddy Lee
Ben Mink
FM
Greg Critchley
Mullmuzzler
James Labrie
Explorer's Club or Leonardo: Absolute Man
Steve Walsh
Kansas

Rush
Max Webster
Kim Mitchell
Greg Critchley
Mullmuzzler
James Labrie
Dream Theater
Jordan Rudess

Old age
I should be flogged for not going through Ian Gillian. I was just going too fast.

Ben Mink and Max Webster were original guesses, but I took the easy way out.

Ok, here were go.................
This is my last link question. If I get one right in the future, I'll try something like my numerical Genesis question.

Keith - I just realized Bernie Torme was on Ian Gillian's solo stuff, so I could have gotten really nasty on the question but here it is:

Go from Progdirjim to Angus Young!

Progdirjim
artist
artist
brother of artist
artist
band
artist x big hint - you can get to here easily by reading a post made by Jim!
band
artist
band
artist
band
artist * a small hint (and for extra credit) - in six steps from here you can get to Robert Fripp!
band
Angus Young

Due to the nature of the hints, only one correct answer is acceptable. I just thought it was great fun to link Jim with Angus!

Here's a "wrong" answer for everybody to chew on until someone gets the one you're going for:

progdirjim
Larry Mitchell
James East
Nathan East
Bryan Ferry
Roxy Music
Eddie Jobson
Jethro Tull
Martin Barre
John Wetton
Asia
Chris Slade
AC/DC
Angus Young

close, give it another try
You are OK up to Tull, and OK from Slade onward. You need:

Tull
artist
band
artist
band
Chris Slade

Will you get it Bob, or will someone sneak in!

Remember the extra credit:

Slade
band
artist
band
artist
band
Fripp

Was Slade in Asia? If so, what a waste!

Incestuous smokers Roll their own.
progdirjim
Larry Mitchell
James East
Nathan East
Bryan Ferry
Roxy Music
Eddie Jobson
Jethro Tull
Clive Bunker
Aviator
Mick Rogers
M.M.E.B
Chris Slade
AC/DC
Angus Young

The extra credit is a tricky one.

I've got:
Chris Slade
Uriah Heep
John Wetton
Asia
Greg Lake
King Crimson
Robert Fripp

But we could miss out the Asia-Lake link and it would still work.

Edit:

Just checked Chris Slade did tour with Asia. Also, Clive Bunker was in M.M.E.B for a while too. What an incestuous lot these Prog guys are!!!!

I think that Bob has it!!!!!

BTW: Appalling joke Rick.

Next day the same goat walked into another bar. He ended up in hospital as it was an iron bar

Keith -
The fact that the US celebrates Labor Day makes up for the time difference in this case!

You are correct - all answers are correct. Technically, you have the question. However, it looks like you are ceding control to Bob -please do as you wish.

Chris Slade played with Uriah Heep too! Holy shit! He's a regular Simon F'ing Phillips!

For the extra credit I had:

Chris Slade
The Firm
Paul Rodgers
Bad Company
Boz Burrell
KC
Robert Fripp
(I was going to go to Darryl Hall & then John Oates, but a 21-part question was a little much) - linking Jim to John Oates.

Go for it, Keith or Bob!

An appaling joke? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Well as I'm here and bob's not..........
These are the first letters of the opening words to well known prog songs. What are the songs.

An example:

PMOKCTIMDWY = Play Me Old King Cole, That I May Dance With You = Musical Box by Genesis.

1) KIWSNRTE
2) RDMIYSTOO
3) WATSRITTTO
4) HVGOTTSOLMHD
5) MUHACPTNKA
6) CFICNSSFM

That'll do for now. To make it a little easier the bands in question and in no particular order are: Rush, Genesis, Moody Blues, King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Yes.

Good luck......enjoy.

Should I do one? (R&

Good luck......enjoy.

I did have an answer in this post, but then I realized the answer had already been given. In a valiant effort to avoid certain embaressment, I have edited the post, removing the offending response.

I'm taxing my brain too much on this - why don't you hit us with another question?
