2 down.......working on the rest.
 

Ooh! they're neck and neck... Rick - 2, Keithie - 2...

That was an 'ard pick!!!! (groan)
 

He's on the bridge of the Enterprise - JEAN LUC PONTY (violin)
Drink named after diner owner
Nose drain an enigma - Ian Anderson (anagram)
The ultimate beggar - JOHN HELLIWELL, Supertramp (sax)
Large, unintimidating stringman - Ray Shulman
A decent fellow, despite who he hangs out with - Jerry Goodman
Nice TV, lady!
Sasquatch (guitar is actually this guy's main instrument, but he plays another instrument too) - Andy Latimer
Honest felines

looks like Keith will do it
 

you've got 4 and I'm not looking at it much today. Very nicely done (why I didn't think of the Next Generation is beyond me). Patrick Stewart's a fine actor, but the idea of an Englishman playing a Frenchman is weird.

Again, good clues and solutions!

ooh ooh
 

Mel Collins for the drink named after a bar owner!!!

Nice TV, Lady! and Honest Felines!!!!

Let's go!

Good work chaps! Keith - 4 Rick - 3
Nice TV, lady! is the hardest; I'm surprised no one's gotten the honest felines...

(oh, and to elaborate on the clue for #1, "Pont" is french for bridge...)

Jeeeeeeezus I'm dumb!!!!
 

He's on the bridge of the Enterprise - Jean-Luc Ponty
Drink named after diner owner - Mel Collins
Nose drain an enigma - Ian Anderson
The ultimate beggar - John Helliwell
Large, unintimidating stringman - Ray Shulman
A decent fellow, despite who he hangs out with - Jerry Goodman
Nice TV, lady!
Sasquatch (guitar is actually this guy's main instrument, but he plays another instrument too) - Andy Latimer
Honest felines - Frank Katz

Keith takes it with 5 - only one left is:
Nice TV, lady!

Hints: TV stands for television, not transvestite! Nice job, Keith - still battling for that top perv spot!
Female artist with one song on Aural Moon. You likely haven't heard of her.

You sly dog you!!!!! That's a sneaky clue Jim.
 

He's on the bridge of the Enterprise - Jean-Luc Ponty
Drink named after diner owner - Mel Collins
Nose drain an enigma - Ian Anderson
The ultimate beggar - John Helliwell
Large, unintimidating stringman - Ray Shulman
A decent fellow, despite who he hangs out with - Jerry Goodman
Nice TV, lady!- Vanessa Mae
Sasquatch (guitar is actually this guy's main instrument, but he plays another instrument too) - Andy Latimer
Honest felines - Frank Katz

another fine quiz
 

I wasn't thinking Frank Katz cause to me he's mostly a drummer - you did say there's one on there, though.

I'm addled about the nice TV thing, what does it refer to?

Wish I had more time to think today, it's turning into a long one.

OK Keith - CD titles, song titles, artists, or any other whimsy or faff
:)
you may come up with. We the masses are ready!

Re: another fine quiz
 

Vanessa Mae has one tune on AM called "Widescreen".....that's a nice TV (wish I could afford one :( )

Thought I'd round this little series off with singers. Well we've had everything else.

I'll be back!!!!

You guys know already, but Vanessa Mae is correct. Great job, I thought it might take just a bit longer.

Frank Katz is a midi-vibraphonist - I consider that significantly different than the trap drum set. I can play the trap drums fairly well, but the midi-vibes would present a fair challenge.

Take it away, Keithie!

This is good fun.....
 

OK. Singers/vocalists. Nine clues so that we don't get a tie. Some are, I think tricky, but knowing you guys there will be no problems.

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same.
2) Angel after decrease.
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it!
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air.
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Good luck chaps

I thought Marc Wagnon was the man???

Re: This is good fun.....
 

Peter Hammill?

oops.

if I win, I'll concede to Rick since that might have been a big enough mistake to change the final outcome...

2 is Peter Gabriel

Jim 1 Rick 0 ...sorry man. I knew someone would say Hamill.
 

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it!
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air.
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Clarifications
 

a) absolutely no need to cede any rightly won inane and superfluous contests, Jim. That Frank Katz was a great clue and had no bearing on the outcome.

b) again I am confused. The Gabriel reference - my brain must be fried, I don't understand.

c) that Hammill was a shot in the dark. I think I'm wrong that it was the 3rd VDGG, anyway!

Angel = Gabriel, after Peter = decrease

H to He was the first VDGG, I think. could be #2

I've had a disease with members of the extended Brand X lately - Mr. Robinson on your last question eluded me because I thought of Brand X, then I got confused thinking Robin Lumley was the only keyboardist...

6 is Annie Haslam. 7 is Bernardo Lanzetti from PFM - sang on the Jet Lag album. And maybe 8 is Jon Anderson - swiss reference to Moraz, "no" opposite (obviously) of Yes? 9 is Fish.

Jim, I'm guessing you meant #4 to be Annie Haslam not #6 and #7 is indeed Bernado. Mr Anderson does feature but is NOT #8. Fish is wrong but I see where you're coming from.

They are all to be found on AM.

Jon Anderson is #1. Steve Howe added for the third album...

Right answer wrong reason....but you get it anyway.
 

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it! - Annie Haslam
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job.
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air. - Bernado Lanzatti
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption.
9) Dick and his ZX.

Actually the reason is that on "The Yes Album" he's listed as JoHn Anderson.......which sounds the same as Jon Anderson. How obscure is that one?:D

Jim 4 Others 0

I have The Yes Album and never noticed the "h" in John! The third album is also the one Steve Howe replaced Peter Banks on; I thought H (symbol for hydrogen) owe (ow! meaning by mistake) was what you were referring to. If I was wrong on this one, I would have refused to guess Jon again - I mean, I could have gone through them one at a time until I got it right...

C'mon Rick, still time for a late surge!

Excellent!
 

Superb lateral thinking there Jim.......your mind is SHARP!!!!!

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.

9) Dick and his ZX.

Come on Rick. One of them is from a favourite band of yours.

sorry..............
 

I've been very busy, I feel I'm letting you down. I'll tak a quick run later and I should have time Friday afternoon for one more try.

Speaking of Howe, you ever notice how Peter Banks looks just like Steve Howe on the front of "Time and a Word"?

I'm done
 

the only shots I have are Thijs Van Leer and Richard Sinclair for the last two.

Sometimes you just blank out - I've tried all I could......

Re: I'm done

Absolutely correct with the last two Rick.

van Leer is notable for his yodelling (Swiss) and focus recorded the track "Eruption"

Dick (abreviation for Richard) and Sinclair manufactured the popular, at the time, ZX znd ZX Spectrum home computers.

Jim 4 Rick 2

Of the other 3. One is an anagram type clue. One clue leads directly to a band and hence the singer in that band and the last clue when translated leads directly to a song title by this singer.

Give it another shot Rick. You can still win. :D

well
 

I'll guess John Wetton for Kith and Kin.

I suspected the Vicious dean was an anagram but it's not coming to me.

Have to come back to it later, need to make $$$.

is 6 David Bowie? Changes...
How about Kith and Kin = Ian Anderson.

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit.
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it! - Annie Haslam
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job. - David Bowie
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air. - Bernado Lanzatti
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption. - Thijs van Leer
9) Dick and his ZX. - Richard Sinclair

The reason you gave for Bowie wasn't what I had in mind. Check the playlist for titles by bowie and you'll see what I meant.

Jim 5 Rick 2

hah!

Like Rick, I knew #3 was an anagram. Unlike Rick, I finally got it, and the whole reference. Dave Cousins from that fruity band, the STRAWBerryS.

and I think you had one too many I's and one too few S's.

Still curious about friends and family...

Ooops Sorry about that Jim.......you get an extra 1/4/point for that.

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit. - Dave Cousins (or it would be if I'd got the letters right)
4) This songbirds got sheep? Sounds like it! - Annie Haslam
5) Kith and Kin.
6) Moved away to start a different job. - David Bowie
7) Sings like he's just got off a long journey by air. - Bernado Lanzatti
8) Maybe he should have been Swiss. No! There would be an eruption. - Thijs van Leer
9) Dick and his ZX. - Richard Sinclair

As for the last one. What did you say Jim? Friends and WHAT?

Jim 6.25 Rick 2

Family
 

I thought Wetton sang with them but I cheated and looked on the Web. If it is the main guy from Family, then we're done.

I got smoked!

Maybe you got "smoked", but I was lucky - I got two right for the wrong reason. For the next question, I'm going to try to come up with something totally new, hopefully it won't take long...

Take it away Jim......
 

I was thinkig "Roger Chapman" for Kith and Kin.

Final listing:

1) Added Hydrogen by mistake for the third album but still sounded the same. - Jo(h)n Anderson.
2) Angel after decrease. - Peter Gabriel
3) Vicious dean comes about fruit. - Dave Cousins (or it would be if I'd got the letters right)

9) Dick and his ZX. - Richard Sinclair.

Jim 6.25 Rick 2 The ether 1.

Well done chaps.

Let's see if this works.

What two songs, on Aural Moon, would lead you to conclude that "Loving Is Nothing"?

Sterilize..
 

beep beep does not compute help I'm breaking up what does it mean illogical must sterilize.

Oh sorry, just kidding.

Two songs by diffrent artists?

yes, in this case, two songs by different artists.

Been searching.....
 

I'm guessing then that they're foreign languages. :(

If they ain't French or German I'm completely lost and if they are I'm a complete Berk.........which I probably am!
