Eight and 1/2 atta-boys Rog! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

#1 is indeed Robert Palmer. I remember seeing an interview one time where he was asked what Heavy Nova meant and his answer blew my mind. Never seen it in print but it may be out there somewhere. So, anyway, 1/2 atta-boy for now, on that one!

#13 is not Shadows Of The Night. Sorry! It was a great guess but no atta-boys for that one dude!

All of your other answers are 100% correct!

BTW, I thought #2 was even easier than #11 because the answer was contained in the question!

That leaves, these 4 1/2 questions unanswered!

01) <s>Who</s> Robert Palmer entitled one of his albums "HEAVY NOVA" <s>and</s> where does that title come from?

06) Ann Boleyn, who is said to have played keyboard on this band's second studio album (though not credited), went on to form Hellion and [New Renaissance Records]. She is currently singing with Detente. Can you name the band and the album she is said to have played on?

10) This band began with Josh Homme in 1996. Originally called 'Gamma Ray', Homme changed the name in 1997 as German power metal band Gamma Ray was threatening to sue. Do you know what they call themselves now?

12) She had been performing with the Edinburgh rock band "Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie" since 1984. Their album Angelfish did not do any better than the preceding albums, selling only 10,000 copies. She joined a new band and hit the big time in the mid-90's. Can you name her and the band?

13) Their lead singer and bass guitarist was heavily influenced by M`ck Jagger, and the group promoted the fact that blues great Muddy Waters once called them "America's own Rolling Stones." Their Keyboardist was a major factor in this sixties band's sound. Can you name the band?
