Just an idea!!!

[Yesspaz]

Ok, here's the answer:

The group is The Doves, and the song is "M62 Song."

Here's a link: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...vgqvadskl8w o

Notice the writing credits for "M62."






I annoint Extended Play the arbiter of the next question!

What are the songs?

Given the following lyric snippets give up the Song title, Album (no compilations or live albums) and Band.

1) Master of Images, songs cast a light on you.
2) Flee the icy Lucifer, Oh! He's an awful fellow.
3) Sundays I elude the 'Eyes' and hop the turbine freight.
4) We're breathing in the smoke of high and low, We're taking up a lot of room.
5) Play me Old King Cole, That I may dance with you.

Pretty easy, huh????

[Rick and Roll]

1) Awaken, Going For The One, Yes
2) familiar, but drawing a blank, and it's making me crazy
3) Red Barchetta, Moving Pictures, Rush
4) another blank
5) The Musical Box, Nursery Cryme, Genesis

60%, that's as good as I get on these!

60% is pretty good.

The answer to one of them is playing on AM as I type....I can understand why it's driving you mad Rick. You LOVE this band!!!

The other is a bit awkward as the playlist only lists a few tracks from this album and the song title isn't one of them.

[Rick and Roll]

I was 99% sure the fellow one is Tull.

Indeed it is!!!

[Rick and Roll]

I need to work! I will take one more shot before I go - is it from Thick As A Brick?

Also - see that you started the Guilty thread - will hit it over the weekend.

Not quite..............

[Rick and Roll]

Could it beeeeee?

It could and it is.....................

Only one to go.

A clue to the last one.

JH, JL, RT, GE and MP.

SS

LOMB.

As you got 80% of them right Rick I think the next one should be from you.

[Rick and Roll]

Well it's the Moody Blues, but I'm not familiar with a lot of their work (I know, an uncultured slob).

I'll work on the next one.

[Rick and Roll]

An easy one, a medium, and a hard one.

1) There's a fusion powerhouse from Buffalo that I never see mentioned here, but they're excellent. The band is named after percussion (with a tweak of the spelling). Who are they?

2) On a Tull song, Ian Anderson messes up his acoustic intro, utters and expletive and starts over. Name the song. Bonus - name another song Ian introduces by counting (there are a few).

3) In ten steps, make a link from David Byrne to the band UFO. Two hints:

a) The link involves records actually played on.
b) Link 5 is Jethro Tull.

More hints available if needed.

I'm working on them!!!!

Ian Anderson messes up on a song from "Minstrel in the Gallery," if I'm not mistaken. I've got Pink Floyd going on the MP3 right now, so I can't hear it in my head. Ummm....damn.

[Rick and Roll]

It's Baker St. Muse. Nicely done! You may need some hints on the others, but I will wait for more clamor.

[black max]

"I'm just a Baker Street Muse...."

Damn. I should have gotten that, considering that "Minstrel" is probably my favorite Jethro Tull album.

Ian introduces a lot of songs by counting, including "Wondering Aloud," if I'm not mistaken.

Subsidiary question: what song does he introduce by counting, "1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3..."? (I can't remember myself at the moment. Mea culpa. I thought your memory would improve when you quit smoking dope!)

[Rick and Roll]

That's the tune I was thinking of when I asked the question.

Regarding the main question - a hint - David Byrne played with Brian Eno (most memorably for me on "My Life In The Bush of Ghosts"). Now that you have that, can you get from Eno to Tull? That's probably easier than getting from Tull to UFO. But no hints until the Eno to Tull link is made.

And no bites on the "easy" question?

Still no bites.....

How about a clue?

[Rick and Roll]

As said, Byrne (link 1) played with Eno (2). Now, fill in the numbers:

Eno played with (3).

(3) played with (4).

(4) played on a 1980's Jethro Tull album (5). (4) is someone who has been mentioned prominently in another thread.

Link (6) is a drummer from Tull, who played both on the studio albums and toured (I saw him) with a guitarist (7). Link (7) was the lead guitarist with (8) on this band's 2nd through 4th or 5th albums. If I give you link (9) it may give it away too soon. I already may have done this, since link (10) is UFO.

Now is you head spinning?

It may take me a 12-24 hours to post back, so good luck.

One more hint on the first question. This fusion band is no longer together, and put out three studio record and a live album with a sax player (all from 1987-1992).

3) Bryan Ferry
4) Eddie Jobson
5) Jethro Tull
6) Clive Bunker
7) Steve Hillage
8) Gong
9) ??????? Schenker ????????
10) UFO
