pacman Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That would be one Mick Fleetwood. Of course! However I wouldn't describe Fleetwood Mac as "mildly successful". You got us with that one JD. I will be more wary... Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hint: The person has similarly distinctive nose as Bennett and Dylan. Barry Manilow? Second guess - Leonard Cohen. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, the ''mildly successful'' was kind of meant as a joke, should've clarified Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, the ''mildly successful'' was kind of meant as a joke, should've clarified I know the humour well, it's something we do all the time. You caught me by unprepared. Completely off-topic, imagine my surprise when I discovered Issan girls share the same ironic sarcastic style humour that I do. They all knew when I was joking & most of them played along with the gag. Some of the funniest girls I've ever met. Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Streisand? YES!!!! Good on you Hefe. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wow, never would have guessed Babs on that one. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath fame - to me one of the best ax-man ever - played very briefly for another well-known English band before forming Sabbath in 1969 with Ozzy and company. That band was mentioned within the past fifteen pages of this thread; who was it? Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Streisand? Here's one that may stump you aging rockers. Name the band (OK,maybe a more correct term is DJ duo) that had a top 10 hit in most of Europe with the only words (in most versions) being Barbra Steisand. Quote Link to comment

pdogg Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Neither Daft Punk or Beats Me are correct. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Infected Mushroom? Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Infected Mushroom? That track makes me feel like I'm at a Shiva Moon Party. Sorry, Infected Mushroom is not correct though gotta admit it's a pretty cool name. Quote Link to comment
Hefe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wow, never would have guessed Babs on that one. It was the nose clue that helped... the second nose clue from sam now that has helped me & I knew Paul Anka hadn't had a top ten hit in recent decades. I'm wondering if Cher fits the same question parameters though? She even had a massive honker in her pre-surgically renovated face days. Yeah... I'm definitely of a pre-DJ era, wouldn't have a clue on that other question. Quote Link to comment
Hefe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 One of my favorite bands ever, just started listening to them closely mostly in the last 15 years tho. They started with 3 frontmen (played lead guitar, sang, wrote songs): #1- One of the greatest guitarists in rock, went insane, homeless & has been slowly recovering after decades This guitarist is Peter Green. BB King once said he "loved Eric, but Peter was the only white player to give him cold sweats." He replaced Clapton in Mayall's Bluesbreakers where he first played with Fleetwood & McVie. There may be other guitarists technically faster, more famous, or showy but for my money no one played with more soul, dynamics or finesse. Here is a clip of him with Fleetwood Mac, not on any record, singing & playing live in New Orleans 1970 (at the same gig that the Dead played & the song "Trucking" where they were "busted on Bourbon St" was inspired). I still get goosebumps hearing this playing, unsurpassed... Quote Link to comment
seven Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 What band was Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd in? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Televison, or Richard Hell and the Voidoids Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sorry, Infected Mushroom is not correct though gotta admit it's a pretty cool name. That DJ Duo is actually from Israel. Saw a flyer for one of their shows pasted to a telephone in Montreal one time....... the rave went from 9pm till 9am, no kidding! I thought that stuff only happened on Phangan. Quote Link to comment
seven Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Televison, Correctomundo! Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Still worth the Richard Hell reference, this was a great song in '77 Quote Link to comment

That band was mentioned within the past fifteen pages of this thread; who was it? Seems like no one knows this one, he played VERY shortly with Jethro Tull in 1968 as their lead guitarist.....he left after a few months and committed himself to Sabbath. Great move Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 The UK band Genesis formed in 1967 and were still together up to 2006 (sort of). Before they named themselves "Genesis" they were considering another name. What was that name? Quote Link to comment
cobber32 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I got lost in here somewhere, but is the answer to the dj question "Deep Dish"? Quote Link to comment
