O/T PART 2

11. What links The Blue Ridge Rangers and Status Quo?

12. Where would you have to go to put together a 'supergroup' that included Steve Howe of Yes, John Wetton of King Crimson, Carl Palmer of E.L.P. and Geoff Downes of Buggles?

13. Andy Fraser, bassist and co-writer of "All Right Now" as well as other notable Free songs was struggling with being gay, as was Elton John. It was then that this ebullient openly gay musician (once the lover of Dave Davies of the Kinks) took them under his considerable wing.

Successful balladeer and dyed-in-the-wool blues and soul vocalist, who is this caring sharing man?

14. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at No.6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time (No.3 in 2013). He introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that became highly influencial. He is?

15. The Rolling Stones in 2 parts:

1. The Stones had 8 number 1 hits in the 1960s. How many did they have subsequently?

2. M

Kiki Dee . Miracles .Motown is my chosen subject

BobH strikes for a second time.

Only 18 more to go.

I thought I knew the answer to 16 but was wrong. In researching I came across a great website referencing banned 'rock and roll' and the reason why.

My favourite:

1965. The BBC refused to play The Who's "My Generation", saying they did not want to offend people who stuttered.

and we say we've gone PC mad these days.

I'm stuck now I know 20, his second from your clue cant remember his first DOH!!!

[Zilzal]

CAM, genuine thanks for your self restraint.

I don't know the site you refer to but I'll check it out sometime tomorrow.

Great quiz Mr Z, I'm looking forward to seeing the answers.

15. I don't think they had many more no 1's after that, if any at all, but maybe one or two more in the US?

Jagger's first solo album was She's The Boss, I'm fairly sure about that.

Edit, sorry if you meant single would that be Memo From Turner?

[caytonmiller]

we were talking tuther day (myself and brother in law) about one of the drifters dying at 38 dont know his sumat like mcfadden and if it was a heart attack
so my wild punt at question 20

[Zilzal]

Cayton, you must be thinking of Clyde McPhatter. He died of heart, liver and kidney failure at the age of 39 due to excessive drinking.

He was the first artist to become a double inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first for his work with the Drifters and then as a solo performer.

Alas, he's not the answer to No.20.

[Zilzal]

Sota, that's No.15 in the bag.

The Stones had 8 UK No. 1 hits in the 1960s but surpringly none at all after that.

"Memo From Turner" was Jagger's first solo hit single. Turner, as you'll know being the character he played so memorably in the film "Performance". The first time I saw it at the cinema I was knocked out by it...oh and the hot babe he sacked out with on camera (allegedly for real) Anita Pallenberg, who was Keith Richards' 'old lady' for a great many years and Marianne Faithfull's best friend.

A bit incestuous? Not for these two guys. All every day stuff.
