Guten lucken, freundschaft!

9. Orejon never in Magic band?

5. Ege Bamyasi!

I haven't got a clue about the udders...
Excellent quizzage, Zoot. :beer:

Yes! :applaud:

Is #3 Festive 50 related?

*sniffs furtively*

Might be.

3. Althea and Donna got to No 1, in 1978

The other two did not get to no 1, ever

Ooh, I might get one of these now.
Holidays in The Sun didn't make the Festive 50 top ten?

Brilliantly fiendish quiz - I'm flummoxed...

You're both wrong.

I suspect Capp is thinking along the right lines...

Does that mean you don't know the answer, either?
Blimey, this could be a long night...

Erm No I am right.

Althea and Donna got to No 1 in the hit parade.

The other two did not.

I claim my 5ive pounds.

:D

Of course I know the fucking answer, you highly-strung twat.

Well I know the Motors and Althea and Donna were no. 1 and no. 2 respectively.... so is that what makes Holidays in the Sun the odd one out?

No, hang on - I've got it. The Motors and the Pistols were on Virgin while Uptown Top Ranking was the only one released on Lightning Records. Ding!

Oh, for fuck's sake. I can see I'm going to have to explain this.

You were right -- it is a 1977 Festive Fifty question. The top three for that year, as I never tire of explaining to astonished people, consisted of The Motors (twice!) and Althea & Donna.

The Sex Pistols' "Holiday In The Sun" is therefore the odd one out.

Award yourself seventeen and a half points.

I can still vividly recall Peel unveiling Dancing the Night Away as number 1. All the obvious candidates had come and gone and I was genuinely agog at what it could possibly be. He then proceeded to play the extended 12" version (which was a conceptual novelty in those days) and for the first minute I simply couldn't think what it was.

And when the penny dropped, I just thought "you've got to be kidding!"

Mind you, I see from this:

http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/festive50lists.htm

that in 1987 Big Rock Candy Mountain by the Motorcycle Boy (Jesus!) reached #22 which warrants a steward's enquiry at the very least.

2. the band name Kaleidoscope

:applaud:

Most correct, sir.

9: Rockette Morton the only one to have played with my beard.....and was never in Mothers.

10. The 1972 Todd Rundgren album must be "Something/Anything?". It includes "Messin' With The Kid" as part of a medley. The Saints later also had a song with that title. Maybe some confusion with the credits?

:applaud:

Correct -- he was never in the Mothers.

:applaud:

Absolutely spot-on.

I demand at least a quarter of a point for this, being highly strung and a twat and all that.

Brilliant. Just to say Number 1 is driving me quietly insane.

8: Gillan-era Black Sabbath inspired the Stonehenge incident in Spinal Tap, their version was too big to get into an of the venues doors...didn't the Beatles perform in front of Stonehenge in Magical Mystery Tour? (never seen it, but somehow...)

No. 1 - you've got Orange Juice and The Grateful Dead in there somewhere. and Curiosity Killed the Cat.

Nope.

Those three are correct, yes. :)

Is number 8 that they were all forced to change their name for sharing it with another band?

I don't think ANY of them were, were they?

:confused:

Well Tap and Sabbath were. I took a punt on The Quarrymen but I've checked since posting and realised I got it wrong.

Not a name-change question, then?

Christ, there's me thinking it was initials of band members ("How many groups was Terry Edwards in???") Thank you.

No.

Think visually.

8. Spinal Tap were originally a skiffle band just like The Beatles. Later on they became a Heavy Metal band similar to Black Sabbath who were also psychedelic styled before.

:blink:

8: They all did album sleeves in one single colour? (Smell The Glove, White Album, We Sold Our Soul For Rock n Roll)

The whiTe striPes.

The Teardrop Explodes

Fairport Convention

Nope.

Very good. Both right.

Is the band with the number one in 6 Pink Floyd?
