Music Trivia Games!

[ellanoize]

Oh no, Gus You start these contest to early in the mornings....LOL...My brain is barely awake. I do see a few I recognize

1) Queen Latifah
2) Huey Lewis
4) Mamma Cass Elliot
6) Marilyn Manson
7) Meatloaf
10) Joni Mitchell
13) Slash
15) Cat Stevens (I might be wrong, but I think his real name was steve something and He changed it to Yusef after he converted)
16) Donna Summers
18 Sid Vicious
20) Bill Wyman

I just surprized myself, by knowing these. Ain't it wierd how the brain cells work (sometimes)

[gus danger]

Wow Rog, early morning or not, you da man! [img]cool.gif[/img]

I would have researched the Cat Stevens deal but I was afraid our "government" would
put me on a terrorist list! LOL! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

About Yusef Islam not being his birth name, you are surely right (I know! Don't call you Shirley!) but I'll bet he would argue that it IS his REAL name!

Hard to believe he gave up his music career for religion. I was a major fan of his and I
still love his music from back in the day!

I'll be back tonight. Keep 'em coming folks!

Hi Wink I know two of those.

#11 is Moby
#17 is Tiny Tim

A guess on #3 is Michelle Phillips

It looks like ellanoize has us beat again. Good job sir!

[ellanoize]

Thank you Todd, I had a bit of advantage on this game, as I am an avid reader and one of my favorite genre of books is biographies of Musicians.

I also want to tip my hat to our Host Wink Dangerdale, and his assioate Gus Danger, for taking the time and effort to put these brain teasers together.

After taking one more look at the list, I think I am done, no more answers are jumping out at me. I do think I got the easy ones this time, leaving the difficult ones for Todd & KLH.

[gus danger]

Why thankyou Sir Rogalot! Putting the brain teasers together is a labor of love. I, too, am a trivia nut and I always learn stuff, in the process!

Hola Mr. Twister! The two you "know" are definitely correct but Michelle Phillips was, I believe, originally known as Michelle Gilliam!

Michelle Harrison is a hole other story! Hint Hint!

See you fellers later with some more hints!

Have a great day!
