OLD 55 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 Back At Last with a NEW QUESTION: Group formed in the UK in 1969. Took name from a book title. First album was "unimpressive" and not released in U.S. Second didn't do much better. Personnel changes and good production saw third album become million seller. Relocated to U.S. late 70s. Eventually had MEGA selling album which also produced hit singles. WHO are they ?
katie_sane Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Hey OLD55!! Peaches and I are lucky that you post questions for all timezones! And where is Kevin? He is usually here right now to tell me to bugger off so he can have a go at the question!
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Hey OLD55!!Peaches and I are lucky that you post questions for all timezones! Good morning! just came back from work and I have to cook and clean the house! From my deepest place in this contest, I want to say: BRAVO PEACHES!!!!!!!! Next time I work for some rock paper I´ll all you as my right-hand! BRAVO KATIE!!!!!!! Same as for Peaches... If I have the time I´ll look and check about this last question... and if the server wants me to, I´ll post it!
katie_sane Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Or maybe Blue Oyster Cult? I think they formed in 1969. That's my final guess anyways, I'm off to bed. :sleepy:
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Mott the Hoople? No, they didn´t sell that much...
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Coud it be Genesis? Coz Soft Machine wasn´t really a top seller band... and Steely dan are american... Depeche Mode is the name of a magazine... and they´re from the 80s...
OLD 55 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 Hi Katie and Edna ! Sorry I haven't put many questions on today. I've been a little "off colour" and I got up late this morning (Oz Time). Then I couldn't get into the site for hours. Then I had to pick up our youngest son at the Airport and the plane was an hour late. Then I lay down to read a Music Book (what else?) and dozed off ! Sorry, it's none of those Groups. HERE'S THE CURRENT QUESTION AGAIN, AND I"LL PUT ON ANOTHER: QUESTION A: Group formed in the UK in 1969. Took name from a book title. First album was "unimpressive" and not released in U.S. Second didn't do much better. Personnel changes and good production saw third album become million seller. Relocated to U.S. late 70s. Eventually had MEGA selling album which also produced hit singles. Who are they ? QUESTION B: What did these members of great 60s groups do in common, but not together, in 2004? John Sebastian (Lovin'Spoonful) Jack Bruce (Cream) Marty Balin (Jefferson Airplane) Goodnight and Good Luck all ! :sleepy:
MarcM Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Question A-dont know yet, but I think it is on the tip of my brain! Is "WHO" intentionally capitalized? Question B- They all became grandfathers?
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Or they all released new material after a long time?
OLD 55 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Posted February 9, 2005 A. Is "WHO" intentionally capitalized? B- They all became grandfathers? A. No, sorry Marc - I just amended it. B. Couldv'e, but it's connected with Music. Dear Edna, they wish! Not that I know of. Goodnight !
Jenny Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 My guess for question "A" is Aerosmith, even though they claim it is not after the book. B. Have no idea, but I'll take a stab. They all tried to reunite their bands for a tour?
miamisammy29 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Question A - Foghat? Question B - I'll say either GET MARRIED or ENTER REHAB? 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.
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Question A: Black Sabbath Question B: No clue
Elvish Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Question A: Uriah Heep? Question B: Did they re-release old material? Here's something else interesting, although I don't think it's the correct answer. All three men were involved in rock documentary type programs in 2004: Mary Balin in "Fly Jefferson Airplane," John Sebastian in "John Lennon's Jukebox," and Jack Bruce in two A&E biographies - both Clapton's and Led Zeppelin's.
Elvish Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I didn't read question A correctly. The band is named after a book title right? So I'm gonna guess Mott the Hoople instead - and only because Steppenwolf doesn't fit the rest of the criteria! ::
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 I was also thinking about Uriah Heep... but I don´t know if they were that succesfull in the US... :: their third album was Live, or maybe "Demons and Wizards" as they had one before the first, "Very ´eavy... very úmble"... My other guess is the Herman Hermitts but they had top hits in the mid-60´s... besides, that´s not a book... As for question B, hmmm... got married again?
edna Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Elvish, I don´t think it´s Mott the Hoople coz they didn´t have tons of hits in the US from their third album, and mainly cuase I posted it before and OldFifty said "No" I would say your guess on uriah Heep would be better... though it´s a character of Dickens and not the name of the book...
miamisammy29 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 It better not be Steppenwolf, or I WILL file a formal protest with the Commissioner (aka UncleJoe). Steppenwolf formed in California in '68 and were never a UK band. John Kay was from Canada (by way of Germany as a tyke), and most of the other dudes were from the U.S......but everything else seems to fit. I stand pat with my answer of FOGHAT!
Elvish Posted February 9, 2005 Report 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.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 A. Judas Priest B. Wrote a book or released a book of songs? P.S. Katie, you are GREAT at this game. I only win when you go to sleep. Rock on, sister.
