Addictedtoclassic Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Foghat formed in 1970 and was the product of Savoy Brown which formed in 1966. But I guess the rest would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Oops - I missed your Mott the Hoople answer, Edna! And Sammy - what you said! :: The only criteria that Steppenwolf perfectly matches is their name. Not just the name. Third album was huge and made a big name for them. They had some decent selling singles after that one, hung around a few years, then faded. They "technically" relocated to the U.S. But the answer is probably some cake one that we're all overlooking, though. WHERE ARE YOU, WISE OLD ONE? WE NEED YOUR ANSWERS AND GUIDANCE!

OLD 55 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 And just for the record, OldOne, INXS actually has/had THREE Fariss Brothers in the band (Andrew, Tim and Jon), and they went by the name "The Fariss Brothers" when they first formed in 1977. FYI. Thanks Sammy. As I've said before, people ARE cruel to drummers(I forgot Jon). Sorry if my wording of the question threw anybody off! They changed their name to INXS at the suggestion of Midnight Oil's Manager, Garry Morris, in 1979. Their tour with Midnight Oil in 1980 kickstarted their career in Australia.

bazooka Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 It got difficult to get on or stay on the site recently, so I turned to other sources of amusement. Something I bumped into out on the back roads was this musical miscreants quiz (<), part of a larger multi-subject trivia contest from 10 years ago. Interesting reading, whether you know the answers or not. Sorry to interrupt the action. Carry on, Old Double-Nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks Bazooka. "Old double nickel ?" I think I know the first one and definitely the second then I just scrolled down the rest. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but some of them just aren't my style, e.g. about their sexual deviancies, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hmmm, then they didn't play Sun City. Let's see now....they didn't form a jug band. All "dated" Grace Slick?......nahhhhhhh. That wouldn't have been musical. Reunited as Cream??? Allowed their music to be downloaded for free on-line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Did they each release solo albums? I'm grasping at straws here. That Katie has me psyched out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey Uncle! :: (psych! psych! psych!) Did all three of them make themselves available to play corporate events, etc?

OLD 55 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Katie. No, that's not it sorry. You and Joe keep thinking "Controversial", and it WAS discussed at great length here. ............................................................ OK ! These guys participated in it too.

OLD 55 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Not those Edna, especially the first two. It's MUSIC RELATED! Well, it looks like that one is a bit tough.

OLD 55 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 CURRENT POINTS (NOT including Participation Points from Question A) katie sane 48 Tenacious Peaches 41 kevin28776 29 UncleJoe 20 miamisammy 19 Windy1 16 rico 10 jr 9 addictedtoclassic 9 edna 8 MarcM 8 Elvish 5 *** Jenny 1 DiggsUK 1 bazooka 1 *** SHOULD we give Elvish double points? Or halve them because two people are working on the Questions? ............................................................ LET'S TACKLE THIS DAMN QUESTION A: You can see I added a few more names of different "eras" to the original 3. They've all been male so far, so here's a couple of ladies who also participated in this "Musical Project" - Joni Mitchell and K.D.Lang. The 10 names Ive given are part of a very diverse list, but they ALL contributed to a Controversial Project NEW QUESTION (: WHO IS THIS GROUP? Formed in the 80s. First album was self-funded on an independent record label. Even though album wasn't successful, major label contracted them soon after - had Top 20 Album with first release for their new label. National tour with a very famous Rock band really established them. However, they (and their Manager) were dogged by scandal through most of their career. Late 80s album was a HUGE seller with 5 singles being lifted from it. Goodnight and Good Luck ! :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
