Rock and Roll trivia question? (Update: AJackson President Elect got the answer!)

Good to hear, Tangy. You are one of the nicest posters on this site, and your presence on GLP is very much appreciated.



Most sincerely, Wharf Rat

Make that "Don't bring me down." The Social D fan in me slipped up....

HOLD ON TIGHT by ELO is probably their only one without the orchestral sounds in it

i also got them from that description

Oh yeah. They've been my #1 since I discovered them in 1975. And the next all time favorite is a band called Ozric Tentacles. Damn good jammin space rock

Hmm, okay thanks for that mr jenzie. According to wiki (I know, I know...) the only song w/o strings they ever released was Don't Bring Me Down, but I'll give Hold On Tight a listen. I love learning rock and roll trivia, and I also love proving Wikipedia wrong!

Right on, truthbomb77. "Don't drag me down"? I was going to say, have you been talking with my girlfriend?? Lol

Thanks again. May I ask, what are your picks for favorite Ozirc Tentacles song/album, and also for Hawkwind? Just curious!

Aww Wharf, you are the second person this week to tell me that! It's funny, because I always feel I'm rather fussy and grumpy on GLP, well at least when I'm chasing trolls.

I appreciate your compliment, and that you took the time to share it with me. That is true kindness. Maybe it will remind me to be nicer when I'm feeling squirrely lol

Dust In The Wind
Point of No Return

Cmon OP

Point of No Return, really? Geeze, has everybody on this thread been talking with my gf?

The Moody Blues?

Oh.. nevermind ELO.

Nice.

Kinda surprised dont bring me down never hit #1

Such a great song

I think you kind of give off a "big sister" vibe. Maybe you think you're being "fussy" but we love you because you come to our defense when the bullies/trolls are really being jerks. We might not tell you we appreciate you as often as we should, but when it comes right down to it there's nothing like a protective big sister being there for us.

A metaphor, but since you are here I just wanted to say Thank You for being who you are. And we really ought to tell you we appreciate you more often than we do

When it comes to Hawkwind, their first album is like Pink Floyds. Some would call it confusing noise. But the second lp called Doremi Fasol Latido (Do Re Me Fa So La Ti Do) with Lemmy, was their more rock style before Warrior On The Edge Of Time. But the good stuff lays in the first 7 years. Ozrics all sound the same. All good. But like any band, the best stuff is always in the first few years. Unlike Journey. First album was kick ass, then the record label destroyed the band

Thank you so much! Next bag of psychedelic mushrooms I get I know what I'm going to put on the hifi! I appreciate you taking the time to give your analysis and recommendations :)

Hey rewind!

Always nice to see you Thanks for the tunes!

We sure could use more kind and generous people in the world like you, Wharf. I imagine you remind people every day that there is still beauty in this world. I feel blessed to be noticed by you.

double hello or triple now?

Your welcome. Someday maybe I'll be able to unbox my 2300 CD collection from 1998 and find a few more bands I forgot about. Hope those CD's still play. Gettin old like me

Good but elo actual debut album was in 1971 with the concept of elo being introduced in a band called the Move in 1970 It laid the groundwork for what would eventually become elo with Lynne and wood.

LOL, they will. I still have my old cassettes!

Totally correct, AC. I feel like such an idiot...

That tape collection, plus the fact that they appear to be freakin' alphabetized... Holy smokes!



Now there's someone who really cares about music, folks!

LOL, they will. I still have my old cassettes!

NICE. Looks like my collection. I met King Diamond and had breakfast with him and my DJ friend back in Texas in the early 90's.

Dang it, rewind. Just when I think I've got you figured you out you go all 5-D on me and I realize I've been playing checkers this whole time.

Keep on rockin', and thanks for blessing this thread

I LOVE KING!!!!! I met him and his wife Livia a few years ago at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. It was EPIC!! I wore my Mercyful Fate Tshirt from when I saw him in Tijuana in the 80s haha. He said "nice shirt"

I recorded this.. Halloween ON actual Halloween!! 10/31/2014 I was beside myself.. Sadly he was quite sick for that show, and skipped a few shows after that. You would barely know he was sick, a true showman, he didn't quit the show. You can see when he walks off that he was feeling ill.

*edit* You can see Livia on the right of the stage doing backing vocals.

(pardon all my whistles and "woos" haha

Wow. Very cool. Good recording for a phone.

Give me a few, I'll snap a pic of the guitar I had signed at that mayhem festival. It's a wee bit buried in my library haha..
