edna, yours is Elephant's Memory:bow:
Maxwell Smart? no, I don't think so but I loved that show . I just love beer - that's why I chose the picture.
here goes an easy one:
1. formed in California in early seventies.
2. lead singer took on a variety of bizarre personas.
3. finally acheived chart success with a video hit in 1983.
1. One member had a musical instrument named after him.
2. Three years passed between their first and second hit songs.
3. One of their songs immortalized a hippie-era "guru."

OK this one is hard....here's a hint:
The instrument in clue #1 is really a modified mellotron, which has been used extensively by this band (who are in their 40th year as a group).
1. One member had a musical instrument named after him.
2. Three years passed between their first and second hit songs.

I like when they get lost trying to find the stage...trying to get all pumped up (rock n roll!)...coming upon the janitor again who's getting frustrated with giving them directions...classic.
The Bridge on the River Kwai!!!
It's considered by many one of the greatest films of all time.
Apocolypse Now! has one of the best sountracks of any war movie with:
The End - Doors
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Suzy Q - (a cover version)
Wagner blasting from the helicpters...
I like Kelley's Heroes too and I use to love that song from it: "Burning Bridges" by The Mike Curb Congregation, I think.
My alltime "rock" XMAS song is "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Some others worth checking out:
Christmas Eve in Srajevo - Transiberian Orchestra
The Jethro Tull Christams Album came out last year and is very good.
Anything on the Alligator Records Christmas Collection, especially Koko Taylor's "Merry Merry Christmas" - for some bluesy Christmas tunes.
INXS?
1. This band started out in San Francisco in the 70's.
2. They had two #1, multi-platinum LP's in the mid-80's.
3. Their frontman was born Hugh Cregg III.
I'm a HUUUUGE Floyd fan of over 25 years...so....I have to give the SS version a big thumbs down.
Just not a fan of that style. I do like "Take Your Mama" though.
