<font size="5">Music Trivia Game #3</font>
and it looks like it's a doozy! [img]graemlins/music.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
It's 12 questions about some of our favorite Rock Groups!
Some are easy! Some are not so easy!
If you enjoy playing, half as much as I will enjoy showering you with Atta-Boys when you win, we'll all have a blast!
Okay then! The time has come! Let's play, shall we?!?! [img]graemlins/clock.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

03) The Northwest was a fertile breeding ground for raunchy rock and roll bands in the early 60's. Paul Revere and the Raider were the most successful, but the most successful song; indeed one of the best known and most notorious songs in the history of Rock and Roll was _________. The Raiders cut their verson but it was _________ who had the hit!
Can you name the song and the band?
04) Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron hit #2 and sold 3 million singles for this sextet in 1966-67 and gave them a lease on life that they exploited to the hilt.
Can you name the band?
05) Along with The Mamas and The Papas, this group was part of the late-sisties folk/pop vocal group movement, with major hits like LAZY DAYS and SUNDAYS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Their lead singer moved on to a very successful solo career.
Can you name them?
07) This was one of the vintage acid-rock San Francisco bands of the late sixties. Their early shows and albums contributed some of the best-remebered instrumental jam music of the period but they never were as popular, nationally, as their S.F contemporaries, The Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead.
Can you name this band?
08) This British band's majestic art rock set the style for such acts as Kansas and Styx: story songs set to complex, richly textured music with hints of classical pomp.

Can you name this band?
09) The Small Faces got their name for two reasons: They were small, under 5'6" tall, and they were "faces" as in the Who's "I'm The Face," a declaration of mod-era hipness.

Here are the ones I know.(i think)
1)Ted Neely-don't know the name of the band.
2)Todd Rundgren
3)Cherokee People.

7) [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
8)Genesis

10) [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
11)Wow, no idea, i thought it was an original Santana tune.
12)Andy Summers
'O Boy another exciting game. I believe me & my remaing brain cell that works (don't fail me now) will give a few questions a try.
1) I believe Neely played Jesus in the Film, But I think Ian Gillian Sang the lead in the stage production, And He sang in Deep Purple
2)Utopia
3) (a)Louie Louie (b) Kingsmen
4) I have the vinyl Lp by the Royal Guardsmen
5) Spanky & Our Gang
7) This is totally a Guess, But I remember Moby Grape
8)I think you are talking about Genisis, Because when Peter Gabrial left, Phill collins came out from behind the drums to sing
9) As You know I am a major Steve Marriott Fan (R.I.P.), but I didn't give up on The Faces after Rod Stewart & Ronnie Wood Joined (a Nod Is As Good As A Wink is still on Regular rotation on my jukebox)
10) Wow I thought I was the only one who knew about this great underground band.
Most of the members came from the Yardbirds.
11 I am more familiar with the (Real) Fleetwood Mac's Version
DOH! that's right, the royal guardsmen did Snoopy vs. the Red Baron. sorry. [img]redface.gif[/img]
This is remarkable, hence I will now remark about it! Our previous Music Trivia Game Champ, Ellanoize is, once again, in fine form, with 7 1/2 correct answers, already!
In second place with 2 points is, fellow contestant, Frustrated!
Alrighty then, here's the low-down on the game, so far!
01) In 1969, with a new lineup including the guy who had sung, as Jesus, in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, this band recorded the "Lord's Concerto for Group and Orchestra" album.
Can you name the singer and the band?
Ellanoize IS correct. Ian Gillan sang the part, of Jesus, on the original Rock Opera LP release and then joined Deep Purple.
What an amazing vocalist!
02) This guys first recording group was a power pop quartet, from Philadelphia, they made their live debut in July 1967, opening for the doors. More recently he has been singing with the newly formed CARS!
Can you name him and his original group?
Frustrated IS correct about the singer. It's Todd Rundgren
Ellanoize is NOT correct about Todd's original band. It was not Utopia.
03) The Northwest was a fertile breeding ground for raunchy rock and roll bands in the early 60's. Paul Revere and the Raider were the most successful, but the most successful song; indeed one of the best known and most notorious songs in the history of Rock and Roll was _________. The Raiders cut their verson but it was _________ who had the hit!
Can you name the song and the band?
Ellanoize IS correct. It's Louie Louie by The Kingsmen. I don't think they ever did Cherokee People, frustrated.
04) Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron hit #2 and sold 3 million singles for this sextet in 1966-67 and gave them a lease on life that they exploited to the hilt.
Can you name the band?
Ellanoize IS correct. It's The Royal Guardsmen, NOT the 1910 Fruitgum Company, frustrated.
05) Along with The Mamas and The Papas, this group was part of the late-sisties folk/pop vocal group movement, with major hits like LAZY DAYS and SUNDAYS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
In 1982 the lead singer joined the reformed Mamas and Papas!
Can you name her original group?
Ellanoize IS correct. It's Spanky and Our Gang! They had some great hit, for sure!
06) During their brief career, in the mid-sixties, this young Belfast band's personel changed often, at various times including Jimmy Page and keyboardist Peter Bardens, who went on to form Camel!
Their lead singer moved on to a very successful solo career.

No answers YET.
07) This was one of the vintage acid-rock San Francisco bands of the late sixties. Their early shows and albums contributed some of the best-remebered instrumental jam music of the period but they never were as popular, nationally, as their S.F contemporaries, The Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead.

Ellanoize is NOT correct. It's not Moby Grape.
08) This British band's majestic art rock set the style for such acts as Kansas and Styx: story songs set to complex, richly textured music with hints of classical pomp. They started as a highly theatrical cult band when they were fronted by their first lead singer. They changed direction, when he left and their drummer took over as front man.
Can you name this band?
Ellanoize IS correct. It's Genesis! A totally different band with Peter Gabriel than without him.

Can you name the 60's band all these Frogs came from originally?
Ellanoize IS correct. Box Of Frogs were the three "less essential" Yardbirds with a new lead singer. Not to be outdone by Beck, Jimmy Page appeared as an additional Frog on their 2nd LP. I miss Keith Relf!
11) Santana's 1970 hit "Black Magic Women" had been previously recorded by what band?
Ellanoize IS correct. Fleetwood Mac did the song, in their first incarnation, featuring Peter Green on guitar and vocal.
12) What former ANIMAL formed a band, in 1979, with Gordon Sumner and Stewart Copeland?
Frustrated IS correct. It's Andy Summers, who played is the final incarnation of Eric Burdon and The Animals!

Hey Gus, sorry about the wrong answer on Snoopy vs. the Red Baron. I'm actually a little upset at myself [img]frown.gif[/img] , because I remember playing that song over and over again. Simple Simon(by 1910 FGCO) was the next song on the K-tel album that I had.
"Ten, twenty, thirty, fourty, fifty or more,
The bloody Red Baron, was rolling up the score.
Eighty men died trying to end that spree.
Of the bloody Red Baron, from Germany."
