Classic Rock Clue Game II

[Black Thunder]

#417. Hello, I love you. - "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder.
#411. A girl's name. - "Rosie" by Jackson Browne.

 

[Forostar]

Slash plays guitar on this song. (+3 to nush)
#422. Velvet Revolver, "Fall To Pieces"

Hmm if that's the answer, then I think this was a somewhat misleading clue, because I would have thought Slash is a guest performer here. Velvet Revolver was his own band.
So, nush: lucky guess mate (I still think mine was better)!

 

[Albie]

Fishing in the fourth dimension. (2)
#427. Steely Dan, "Reelin' In The Years"

OK, Caught Somewhere in Time was a little bit ambitious but it's all I could of thought of at the time - but that track was never really going to be higher than Number of the Beast, was it. That said, I really should of got that one. It was one of those tracks I so distinctly remember from being played to death in a bar I used to work in back in the 80's.

#418. Happens every week. Monday Morning - Fleetwood Mac
#411. A girl's name. Angie - Stones
#413. What you say after you activate the self-destruct. Run to the Hills

#413. What you say after you activate the self-destruct. Run to the Hills

Brilliant! 

 

[Albie]

Yep, I thought it was good.

Hmm if that's the answer, then I think this was a somewhat misleading clue, because I would have thought Slash is a guest performer here. Velvet Revolver was his own band.
So, nush: lucky guess mate (I still think mine was better)!

My thinking here was that I didn't know any songs which Slash guest performed on (I went the same thought process as you originally) and then that the phrasing of the question implied it wasn't a GnR song as that's what he's best known for.

It's like a cryptic crossword this quiz, trying to work out how the compiler's mind works.

 

[Forostar]

#419. He doesn't want a duck-feather jacket. (1)
Denim and Leather - Saxon

#418. Happens every week. (2)
Saturday Night - Herman Brood (& His Wild Romance);

#412. Beginning of a letter. (2)
Dear Prudence - The Beatles

#411. A girl's name. (4)
Rosanna - Toto

My thinking here was that I didn't know any songs which Slash guest performed on (I went the same thought process as you originally)

So basically you were lucky because you did not know of the existence of his Lenny Kravitz collaboration.
Or I was unlucky that I did know about this collaboration.

Damn. Lack of knowledge comes in handy it seems.  

I would have come up with a different clue if it was a song of Slash's own band.
So that's why I thought it was a bit misleading (even if it was unintentional).

 

[national acrobat]

Wisest is he who knows he does not know.

 

[mckindog]

I've got to get on this thread earlier.
I am going to have to quote Cornfed on 420 (Townshend)  and 419 (ELO) Great clues SMX. And 415 (Bad Company) as well.
Given my track record versus his, I should probably quote them all, but here goes...
418 Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting (Elton John)
416 Evil Woman (ELO)
414 Dancing in the Dark (Springsteen)
413 Should I Stay Or Should I Go? (The Clash)
412 For What It's Worth (Buffalo Springfield)
411 Lola (The Kinks)

cornfedhick hit a grand slam. 9 out of 10. 26 points.

All you guys had to do was quote him... you'd have earned 17 points.

Did I call that or what?

I am going to have to quote Cornfed on 420 (Townshend)  and 419 (ELO) Great clues SMX. And 415 (Bad Company) as well.
Given my track record versus his, I should probably quote them all, but here goes...

407 Hard Days Night — Beatles
406 All Day and All of the Night — Kinks

I don't think it's cool to earn points with double guesses, so I rather try to be original with my shitty amount of correct guesses.

I don't think it's cool to earn points with double guesses, so I rather try to be original with my shitty amount of correct guesses. 

But then half the contest would be making sure you're online when SMX posts the clues. If I get the same answers independently I have no such reservations getting a bonus point.

#410: The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go (Is the 3rd time I've guessed this song? Probably won't be on the list at all)
#408: The Beatles - Revolution
#407: Paul McCartney - Band on the Run
#406: The Kinks - All Day and All of the Night
#403: Led Zeppelin - Going to California

I understand your point of view. But I am not trying to win the total quiz (I am not able anyway), just pointing out that I rather do guesses which others haven't done yet.

#403: The Mama's & the Papa's - California Dreamin'

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

But then half the contest would be making sure you're online when SMX posts the clues. If I get the same answers independently I have no such reservations getting a bonus point.

Being the first to guess is indeed a problem. I considered running this game by PM for that reason, but I thought public posting would be more fun.

Problem is, if you post a correct guess second, I don't know if you really got it on your own or if you're copying. So it makes sense for first post to get a bonus point.

If you do want to time yourself, I update this game in the afternoon (Denver time) which is late night in Europe. I do it after Survivor updates; when you see those happening, watch this space next.
