music trivia

[DavidMn]

I thought I'd start something where anyone could ask a music trivia question and see who can answer it. I'll start it off.


The backup singers for Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver, later formed a band that had a mega-smash #1 hit. What is the name of the band?

[chiliD]

Starland Vocal Band---"Afternoon Delight".

Next question? :shrug:

[DavidMn]

Starland Vocal Band---"Afternoon Delight".

Next? :shrug:Very nice. I figured you'd be right there with the answer.:nod:

[DavidMn]

Here's another:


What's the name of the song that was a big hit in the summer of 1980, the author of which has the same last name as a former member of Fleetwood Mac?

[chiliD]

Only thing I can think of is: "No Time To Lose" by the Tarney-Spencer Band

But, I think that was 1979, not 1980.

Answer:


Tired Of Toein The Line- Rocky Burnette

Ah, yeah...Billy's cousin.

Billy also had a hit in 1980 with "Don't Say No"...but, I didn't think you were after ACTUAL former members of Fleetwood Mac.

In the London punk scene of the late 1970s, Malcolm McLaren managed a band featuring a young Chrissie Hynde, and Rat Scabies, Captain Sensible, and Dave Vanian, who would later form The Damned. Name this band.

What is the only major band to play Monteray Pop, Woodstock and Altamont?

[chiliD]

I don't have any answers so I'll do a question...

What is the only major band to play Monterey Pop, Woodstock and Altamont?

Jefferson Airplane is the only act to play at all three festivals (AND the 1968 Isle Of Wight Festival in the UK)

Ravi Shankar, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Canned Heat, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Country Joe & The Fish, Big Brother & The Holding Company (Janis Joplin) and The Grateful Dead played Woodstock & Monterey, but not Altamont

CSNY played Altamont & Woodstock, but they didn't exist as a unit for Monterey...The Byrds (David Crosby) & Buffalo Springfield (Stephen Stills & Neil Young) both played Monterey

Santana also played Altamont & Woodstock, but not Monterey.

Allright. I'm pretty sure I'm right on this:


Who is the only artist to have his/her first 3 singles all go to #1?

[danax6]

Allright. I'm pretty sure I'm right on this:


Who is the only artist to have his/her first 3 singles all go to #1?The ones I know of is Westlife and The Spice Girls, though they had 7 and 6 number 1 hits in a row respectively, both starting with their debut single.

[DavidMn]

The ones I know of is Westlife and The Spice Girls, though they had 7 and 6 number 1 hits in a row respectively, both starting with their debut single.Ok. Now was that the mainstream charts or the dance charts? Maybe I shouldve been more specific, but what I was thinking of was:


Andy Gibb. Songs: Shadow Dancing, I Just Want To Be Your Everything, and Love Is Thicker Than Water

[danax6]

Ok. Now was that the mainstream charts or the dance charts? Maybe I shouldve been more specific, but what I was thinking of was:
Mainstream, but I'm fairly sure it was the UK charts though, not the US. So you might still be right. ;)

Well, let's see...Eric's band from 74-80 included:

Jamie Oldaker (from Tulsa)
Carl Radle (from Tulsa)
Dick Sims (from Tulsa)

So, I kind of think that Eric would be scrounging around town quite a bit in those days.

Leon's (former) home was also a famous recording studio used by everyone in Tulsa...Hell, even the Beatles used it.

Recently a master tape once owned by Jamie Oldaker surfaced on DIME with one of those infamous jams from Leon's home studio featuring Russell, Cale, Clapton, Oldaker and other Tulsa musicians - I need to relocate the info for that tape.

(Edit: Couldnt find that tape listed on DIME anymore, But I recall Bonnie Bramlett, Delaney Bramlett & Bobby Keys also participating in that jam.)

I long for the ol' days when 97.5 KMOD would play Leon's radio station trademark song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (KMOD was the 'Rainbow station'), Great days back in the 70's/80's for Tulsa in the music scene.

Btw, Bob Seger's drummer back in the early Silver Bullet Band David Teegarden was a Tulsan as was Lynyrd Skynyrd's Steve Gaines (Who died on Oct.20,1977 in the infamous plane crash that killed Skynyrd singer Ronnie Van Zant, tour manager Dean Kilpatrick & Gaines sister Cassie who was a background singer - What a f**ked 24 hour period that was Oct.20-21,1977, the Skynyrd plane crash on the 20th, The Muskogee Stockyards near our home burnt to the ground later on the 20th and then the car wreck which killed my Dad was on the 21st.)

That's right, my bad :o ...they were AT Woodstock and were supposed to perform, but didn't. But, my original answer to the original question is still correct. :nod:

[golddustwoman77]

That's right, my bad :o ...they were AT Woodstock and were supposed to perform, but didn't. But, my original answer to the original question is still correct. :nod:


The Grateful Dead DID perform at Woodstock. They performed on Saturday, August 16th. They performed "St. Stephen", "Mama Tried", "Dark Star/High Times', and "Turn On Your Love Light." There were some technical problems during their set, and therefore, they are unhappy with the performance. That is why they don't appear in the documentary performing, only attending the festival.

[DavidMn]

Oh well, since no once answered my last question, here's the answer:


Who died October 12, 1997? John Denver

[Sarah]

The ones I know of is Westlife and The Spice Girls, though they had 7 and 6 number 1 hits in a row respectively, both starting with their debut single.

Mariah Carey's first 5 singles all went #1. I don't know if that's what whoever asked the question was looking for, but I know that's a Billboard fact.

What's the longest song title ever to hit #1 on the Hot 100?

On the UK charts, which songs were #1 on two separate occassion with the exact same recorded version?

Edit: There's officially 5 songs by very well-known artists.



Edit #2: The answer is below:

Strictly speaking, only five chart-topping tracks have ever left the chart and then returned to top it a second time in exactly the same version. They are:

"My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison (1971 and 2002; though with different 'B-sides'),

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (1975 and 1991, though on the latter occasion it was a double-A side with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives").

The one-a-week re-issue series commemorating what would have been Elvis Presley's 70th birthday in 2005 spawned a series of his old hits returning to the top spot. Each featured the original B side, though some CDs featured extra tracks. For this reason, they were all assigned new catalogue numbers. The full list of these (thus far) is:

"Jailhouse Rock" (1958 and 2005)
"One Night" / "I Got Stung" (1959 and 2005)
"It's Now Or Never" (1960 and 2005)

[DavidMn]

On the UK charts, which songs were #1 on two separate occassion with the exact same recorded version?how many songs are we talking about?

Oh come on, sharon, The Netherlands were shocked for a minute when she died.

yes that was a hint

Holy Frock you saw Mark and Isobel? Fill me in!


It was AMAZING! Lanegan actually SMILED, and not once but several times!
He looked way healthier than I've seen him in years.
They played all the songs from Ballad Of The Broken Seas, plus each did some solo tracks. Lanegan left the stage for Isobel's solo stuff but she sang on I'll Take Care Of You and Wedding Dress. They also played a new song which sounded fantastic, and has left me hoping they will be recording together again in the future. Oh and they did a cover of a song I didn't know, a country-esque number. Isobel kept forgetting the words which made Lanegan laugh! So weird I've seen him play solo, and with the Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age and with The Twilight Singers but I've never seen him smile or laugh before. It was a great show. Isobel is beautiful and really talented (she played cello, piano, guitar and other instruments) and they sounded incredible together.

Oh and I still don't know the answer to your trivia question :o
EDIT: Dana knows anyhoo!

Hmmm...sounds like heaven. I saw Mark laugh at me when I met him backstage, shaked hands and talked with him for five minutes while both of us went for the coffeemachine. I think it was at Pukkelpop 2002 or so. He was very trained and totally off the brown **** at that time..and very friendly and good tempered.

Wow, I'm impressed you met him but I've even more impressed that you made him laugh! Very cool indeed. :nod:
