wow, how do you want to do this?

mark the joint effort and whoever got most, earliest wins?

in that case blank_frank wins as he got over half the bands right with his first attempt, 12 (no mistakes), as opposed to phillys 10.

as for correct answers:

working from phillys last list: 16/22

not supertramp.

edit: oh, and B_Fs is 16/16

Pistols at dawn?

No, it's nice to have a group effort once in a while. I suppose you could give it to the person who first posts the full list of correct answers (if we ever get there...

).

Anyway, I think we're going to need some more clues for that last 6!

Also is the first 'S'from the Spice Girls?

I'm ashamed that someone from my hometown would bring up that band...

Philly deserves to win just for putting me out of my misery on those two...

(Not convinced about the Nirvana one, though!)

They'll be trouble if it is...

The N that isn't Nirvana might be the Ramones. The missing E is Aerosmith.

As I said, count 'em in... 1 2 3 4!

The missing E is Aerosmith.

Yay! Thought that one would be a sticker, looks alien away from the rest of the logo.

So, one left...

Main guy in this lot was in one of the other bands mentioned, had a number one album in the uk, biggest thing on a certain hallowed indie label until some mouthy northern types took over the world...

Yay!

(again)

think Blank_Frank got most right.

Not sure about that, but in the interests of keeping things moving...

This one's a bit of an experiment. Do you all know about tag clouds? Well these are lyric clouds. All contain the lyrics of popular songs, the size of each word representing how many times it occurs, but...common words (a, I, if, and, but, etc.) have been removed, and, more importantly, any reference to the song title (if found within the lyrics) has been removed. So, here we go:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

I think four of these are easy, and the other one's quite difficult. Let's see what happens...

I've just noticed that one word from the title of No. 2 seems to have slipped through. Ah well...

robogone · Post by **robogone** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:27 pm

1. Paranoid
2. Don't you want me baby
3. Purple rain
4. Love cats
5. Wish you were here
