A twist on the music trivia...

[gmpartsgirl]

Ok, don't know how well this will work. See if you can guess the artist and name of the song from this audio clip. HEHE

guessthis.mp3

[Camino LS6]

My machine has no sound!

[gmpartsgirl]

well that worked out nicely didn't it? Ok, one hit wonder, released in '84. As afr as I can tell this song only was released over seas, I have it as an import. Great Song. The band name is the guys name.

[gmpartsgirl]

This song never made into the Top 100, which is a shame. He's british and has written a ton for other major acts.

[Camino LS6]

Since I can't hear it, what's the style?

[gmpartsgirl]

Let's try something else to be fair. Like you did. The cover shows a stained glass window on a black background, depicting the King of Diamonds. Released in '80, progessive album. Not the band from the audio clip.

[gmpartsgirl]

Since I can't hear it, what's the style?

It would be classic rock I suppose.

Alan Parsons

"Turn of a Friendly Card"

[gmpartsgirl]

Good Job!!! Was that too easy? I love Alan Parsons!!

[gmpartsgirl]

Somebody still needs to guess the audio clip. :AH-HA_wink:

[Camino LS6]

Good Job!!! Was that too easy? I love Alan Parsons!!

Thanks.

He co-produced lots of Pink Floyd's stuff - major talent in the studio.

Easy for me.

I don't have time to do one tonight, so why don't you do another?

[gmpartsgirl]

Ok, would be considered classic rock i think. A blurry shot of a "muscle car" making a corner, shot from above, with a light pole and a fire hydrant in the image.

[Camino LS6]

Sounds damn familiar.

American Artist?

[gmpartsgirl]

Canadian actually, and damn good as most Canadian bands tend to be.

[Camino LS6]

I need to check an idea...

[gmpartsgirl]

I need to check an idea...

Hmmm, are we googling?

[Camino LS6]

No go.

Running down my list of Canadian bands I can't place this cover.

But I think I've seen it.

I think I'll have to sleep on this one!

[gmpartsgirl]

Ok fair enough. Until tomorrow, and then I'll reveal who the audio clip was if nobody guesses. I'm off to bed. See Ya'll.

[Camino LS6]

Hmmm, are we googling?

Yeah, I thought I had it and wanted to check.

I was wrong, thought it was The Guess Who.

[gmpartsgirl]

Good guess though. I'm trying to come up with some challenging ones. But, bands I love.

[Camino LS6]

My last guess of the evening is that it could be Steppenwolf since they had so many albums (and I think used alternate covers for some).

I will also say that I doubt it is :

Rush

Blue Rodeo

Neil Young

[Blake Noble]

Rush was also my first thought.

[gmpartsgirl]

None of the above, but good guesses.

[Camino LS6]

Maybe it will come to me while I'm sleeping - I know I've seen that cover!

[gmpartsgirl]

You're gonna kick yourself when you figure it out.

[Robert Hall]

You're gonna kick yourself when you figure it out.

Yeah..sounds familiar, but I just can't place it..

[FAPTurbo]

BTO's 'Freeways' ?

Edited April 18, 2008 by Captainbooyah

[gmpartsgirl]

Nope. Keep trying.

[Hudson]

It sounds like Red Rider

[gmpartsgirl]

Wow, another good one, but no. You guys are awesome. See all the old bands we're thinking about now.

[Camino LS6]

I'm so tired tonight that I'm nearly brain dead, I won't be solving this one.

[Robert Hall]

It sounds like Red Rider

Ooh..haven't listened to those guys in ages..

[Blake Noble]

Oh someone just wave the white flag already.

[Camino LS6]

It's time for a hint, maybe a snippet of the lyrics from the album?

[Olds Guy]

How about a little April Wine. Harder... Faster

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harder_..._Faster

[Blake Noble]

Ooh! I see they have done a King Crimson cover. I will have to check that out.

[Olds Guy]

So, here's one....

What artist has multiple songs about cars and driving, including one with a car name in the title and two implying laws are being broken in their title? Name the 3 songs.

[gmpartsgirl]

How about a little April Wine. Harder... Faster

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harder_..._Faster

Nicely done!! It's a great album.

[gmpartsgirl]

Ok, the audio clip was Russ Ballard-"Voices"

[FAPTurbo]

So, here's one....

Sammy Hagar.

- Trans Am

- I Can't Drive 55

- Cruisn' and Boozin'

[Camino LS6]

Nicely done guys.

I think it's the Captain's turn.

EDIT: I forgot all about April Wine

[gmpartsgirl]

EDIT: I forgot all about April Wine

HAHA, I wondered what the hell. LOL April Wine, Triumph and don't forget Saga. Everybody automatically reverts to Rush. So many great Canadian bands. Is Billy Thorpe Canadian too? Isn't that his name? The guy who did "Children of the Sun"?

[FAPTurbo]

This might be a bit easier. If you get the voice, it should be smooth sailing.

Audio Clip

What is the name of the band, and the album that this song is from.

Here's a couple hints:

- The guitarist used to play for the 70's English band 'City Boy' .

- The producer is very well known for his work with hair-metal acts.

[Olds Guy]

Don't know it, but got it by Google. I'll let others guess.

[Camino LS6]

Yup!

Children of The Sun is a great tune!

" Don't Pay The Ferry Man" is another great tune out of Canada, I can't bring the artist's name to mind at the moment.

[Robert Hall]

What artist has multiple songs about cars and driving (sometimes as a subplot or reference) including one implying laws are being broken in it's title?

This should be easy...this artist's songs often reference his home state.

[Olds Guy]

Now you made me go to YouTube to watch the Chris DeBurgh video. I hadn't thought about that song in a long time.

Yup!

Children of The Sun is a great tune!

" Don't Pay The Ferry Man" is another great tune out of Canada, I can't bring the artist's name to mind at the moment.

[Hudson]

Ok, the audio clip was Russ Ballard-"Voices"

I own that album!

[Hudson]

Yup!

Children of The Sun is a great tune!

" Don't Pay The Ferry Man" is another great tune out of Canada, I can't bring the artist's name to mind at the moment.

How was that a "tune out of Canada?" Chris De Burgh was from England (born in Argentina).

It sounds like Rough Trade or the Headpins, but I think I know who it is (after a quick Google).
