Just an idea!!!

[Rick and Roll]

Yes, finally! A "dog" of a song, on a otherwise solid effort. The intro sounds like Bastille Day, then steadily goes downhill.

We have:

Jim 14 (2 TD's & two extra points)
Bob 2 (a safety)

Two questions left (I know, mercifally)

[Yesspaz]

Dog Years RAWKS!

(but there is better on the album...)

6. Cat In Clark's Shoes - Gong

and Rick And Roll has caught up with Yesspaz in number of posts!

[Rick and Roll]

but alas, it is ephemeral - I may be back to work very soon. We shall see.

Excellent, Jim - I thought no one would get #6!

OK, it's Jim 16, Bob 2, the rest of the Universe 0.

Time to give away the last one...

#10 - "Climb the ladder....climb the ladder...to ? ?

the funny thing is, when you first posted the question, I was thinking of 2 Lewis's partners - Martin and Lewis, and Lewis and Clark. So I'm thinking "Cat in Martin's shoes, cat in clark's boots", but nothing clicked. Finally today I remembered Gong had a song something like that and I had to check the CD to make sure I had it exactly right.

Porcupine Tree - The Creator Has a MastertAPE

[Rick and Roll]

"God's Monkey"! the fine Sylvian/Fripp Song.

Your answer fits Yesspaz, but I referenced the ladder hints, and they point to the above song.

Final tally -

Jim 16
Bob 2
the house 2
everyone else - skunked!

I believe it is Jim's turn.............................................

Hint: On the AM playlist.

This song is NOT on the AM playlist!!!!!! I should flog you for making me research obscure Asian animals to try to figure this out. Two hours of my life, Wasted!!! ARGGH!


You suck.




















just kidding

[Rick and Roll]

I have to go for a little while - I think it is there - I'll check later

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I'd be surprised if it's there, since I didn't put it there and I don't remember it being there when I joined.

If Powerslave is ready with a question, go ahead since this was all interim stuff. Or if Yesspaz would like to ask one for getting Bernstein, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll post a question when I can come up with a good one - I've got an idea but I'm not ready yet...

[Rick and Roll]

I thought it was there, but what the hell.............

that was one of the easier ones, anyway - I thought the clues would have long since given it away.


On second thought that would be a good addition.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

OK, let's try this.

Below is a list of eleven prog albums. I'd like to call your attention to each of these albums because they're - a) GREAT, and b) slightly lesser known.


But, they have something else in common with one another. And, once you figure that out, there's a logical order you can put them in. So, the quiz question is what is it they have in common, and what is the order.

Gordon Giltrap - Fear Of The Dark
Djam Karet - Burning The Hard City
Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic - Petrophonics
Shylock - Gialorgues
Planet X - MoonBabies
Weather Report - Tale Spinnin'
Mirthrandir - For You The Old Women
Tantalus - Jubal
Sonus Umbra - Snapshots From Limbo
Electrum - Standard Deviation
Acqua Fragile - Acqua Fragile

I hope this isn't too easy - have fun!

Oh, and I highly recommend requesting a song from each of the albums - you'll be glad you did even if you don't guess the answer...

6:24 am GMT is very kind of you Jim.

Means I can take a look before the rest of you Prog heads wake up.

Not that it'll do me much good. As Rick so nicely put it in the last question "I SKUNKED"!!!

I've been looking at the list for 10 minutes now and nothing is coming to mind.

Time to lift the tail and spray again????

D'Oh!!!!

[Rick and Roll]

I've got the connection - now to test my ideas on the order......

[Rick and Roll]

Jim, are all of the artists on Cuneiform Records?

If so, is it a chronological order you want?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

If they're all on Cuneiform that would be a pretty big coincidence, as that's not what I was looking for. I'll check, at least one must not be...

[Rick and Roll]

At least 1/2 are, but I didn't check them all and I'm sure you're right and it's not what you were looking for, so it's not right!

Anyone else?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I did double check, and unless I'm mistaken at least Weather Report and Acqua Fragile are not on Cuneiform.

Should I start providing hints?

[Rick and Roll]

I like this post, it's fun - but are we few the only losers with enough time? I'd like to maybe leave the question up for a few days to see who can get it before hints - I've found the hints give it away too fast.

Any other ideas?

[progdirjim(Admin)]

Let's leave it without hints - l like having the floor anyway.

Unless there's an outcry or a correct guess, I won't post a hint until Monday afternoon. And I'll try not to give it away with the first hint.
