Re: Re: clarifying the updated squared....
 

The band starts with C. And while another of theirs is on the Moon, this should be! And I've played them on my show also.

Another update, with those whose answers were correct. Correct me if I'm wrong...

A.) "Stadium" performers [ARENA] , Rick-and-Roll
B.) Can'tRock get this showRock out of my HeadRock ('spaz, you're not eligible for this one) [BRAINROCK], fremder99
C.) Drummer of "All-colors" [Billy Cobham for his "Spectrum" lp, or Cozy Powell, drummer for Rainbow] , progdirjim
D.) This California band does a Sliced-up Moon song [Djam Karet, "Severed Moon"] , progdirjim
E.) Ekstraordinary classical Dutch boys [Ekseption] , progdirjim
F.) If you plow through their music, you might find an inventor [Jethro Tull], Rick-and-Roll
G.) Riding in a large travelling party, you may find this lady not once, but twice! [Golf Girl/Group Girl by Caravan] ,Moses
H.) I wouldn't want to wear one of these, even when riding my HOG. (Not on the Moon but played on special show(s).) [Helmet of Gnats] , progdirjim
I.) Key plot element in Lord Of The Rings... [Isildurs Bane] Bob Lentil
J.) Fighting over the green [Jade Warrior], dinosaur
K.) I haven't had the time to add these four ,
L.) Where people assembled on May 24th [Lakeside Park], Rick-and-Roll
M.) If this artist who wrote songs about the planets covered a Genesis tune that mentions one of its satellites, what would we call it?[Manfred Mann, Mad Mad Moon], Bob Lentil
N.) Nicotinic Acid Rock [Niacin] fremder99
O.) This band is responsible for a law relating voltage, current, and resistance. . . or maybe not.[Ohm, or King's X], Rick-and-Roll
P.) Antediluvian twitterings?[[P]irdsongs of the Mesosoic], Rick and Roll
Q.) God save 'em.[Queen], KeithieW
R.) If Will Smith made a movie about a U.S. President, what song might that be?,
S.) A Band and album that both sound the same but one is really cosmic.[Starcastle, but which album?]
T.) I really get off on this band!,

That's a cood answer Wojtek but not the one I was after. Think about it......

Starcastle - "Album name". Could it be a Starcastle album perhaps? ;)

T
 

is for Tangent!

Re: T
 

Hmmm... did you see some sort of sine in my clue?

Yes, Tangent it is! Which reminds me of a somewhat related story about.... :rolleyes:

"U" to you Rick!

duh, the album is Citadel...

OK, let's see
 

Wow we got ourselves wrapped up in Starcastle, huh?

I get U, and Jim gets V (I'll cede the Starcastle...I only got 1/2).

K and R are still open.

K is Jim's and I'n not sure how far we are clue wise.

Let's review R:

If Will Smith made a movie about a U.S. President, what song might that be?

The movie is "I, Robot", which Jim got. But the song is NOT the Alan Parsons Project. It is by a band that is represented on the Moon, but this song, which is off their first record, is NOT on the Moon. I have played two songs by the band on my show, both live versions of songs on this fantastic first record. Did I mention it's NOT on the Moon?:eek: I'll give another hint in a day or two if needed.

I was going to throw a softball to moses and make "Umphrey's McGee" the U, but that's too easy:p

What the heck, I'll make it not so hard:

U - Kate Bush trapped at the North Pole?

(I can see your tawdry visions now......)

R = Robots for Ronnie by Crack the Sky

Whew!

U = Utopia... no, that can't be right. Unwed Sailor? No...

:-|

Yes!
 

Well done Moses... next is "W" (Jim with V when he wakes up lol).

W
 

W.) Cold, cold, cold.

Hope that's not too easy.:)

Re: W
 

I'm going to try Weather Report for this one.

How about Under Ice for U?

W
 

not Bush I hope...


is it Weather Report?

How about you're right!

And you beat me on the W.....I didn't see your post...

nicely done!

Here's an odd clue for 'X' that is only tangentially related to prog. Otherwise it gets too easy to narrow down the possible answers, and that's not nearly as fun is it?;)

X.) Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart is featured in a popular video game that shares most of its name with a film written, directed, and starred in by an Oscar winning director. That film was produced by a successful B-movie director/producer who also directed this film that begins with the letter 'X.'

is only tangentially related to prog as a song too!:D :D :D

"... aaand Rick and Roll is ahead of progdirjim by a nose, ... we're coming down the home stretch... look out!, making his move now, coming up fast on the outside is Bob Lentil--assuming Weather Report is correct...

Rick and Roll (6)
progdirjim(4)

V - They see a stupid future...

(album title)

and X-Men as a guess for "X"

X is for...
 

All the film refs in "X" lead me to try Xinema?

Is it Cross' "Visionary Fools"?

all seems to fit...
 

I'll be out for a few hours...at this rate the alpabet will be complete!

No and no to the two 'X' guesses.

correct! I thought that would take a few seconds longer...:confused:

And I'll throw out another guess for X - that great movie, Xanadu...

It came to me in a vision.
Here's another vision clue for Y.

Y.) Future visions - alone... (song title, but album is also part of the clue)

I wish I would have thought of that. In an effort not to use another Rush tune, I could have come up with a long-winded clue that led to a movie of the same name.:) Unfortunately, I did not. Guess again.

(By the way, would you mind posting a personal review of that great movie, Xanadu?)

Re: Re: W
 

Sorry about being AFK all weekend. Weather Report is correct.

Z.) Band of a forum frequenter.

Zenpool

Quite correct.

so...
 

did the combination of my apathy, lack of time, and Jim's deductive skill conspire to forge a tie in the standings?

I would look and calculate but I have to go....

check back in several hours.

Looks like K, X and Y reamain unsolved. Also W unless Weather Report is correct.

update
 

Rick 6.5
Jim 5.5
Bob 4
Moses, fremder99, dinosaur 2 each
Keithie 1

K,X,Y left:

Jim asked K.
Bob asked X.
Dinosaur asked Y.

Marks the Spot!
 

Weather Report was correct. Sorry if I missed that.

As for X, "Owner Of a Lonely Heart" is in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Ron Howard wrote, directed, and starred in a film called Grand Theft Auto back in 1977. Roger Corman produced that and a film called "X" aka "X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes."

Whew.

(200th post!)

Re: Marks the Spot!
 

Nicely done.:)

so...
 

K and Y are still out.

KY? Hmmmmmm........

Re: so...
 

Careful Rick....you could be on a slippery slope there. :D

More clues for Y.
 

Y.) Future visions - alone... (song title, but album is also part of the clue).
The song title begins with a Y.
If the name of the band is included , perhaps the clue should be 'Future vision trip - alone...'

Gotcha!
 

Y = Journey - "You're On Your Own" from Look Into the Future.

Wild Guess... K= Kino?

Right! Y down.
