Still waiting for Jam
 

Here's one while we wait...

What do these bands/artists have in common - that I'm thinking of, although I'd doubt there's much more in common with ALL of them other than this thing.

The Beatles
Jethro Tull
Sylvian & Fripp
Peter Gabriel
Phish
Beastie Boys
Steely Dan
The Pixies
Bob Dylan

Obviously not all of these bands are on the Moon.

they all recorded on Capitol records? they all ended up in your question?:D

when it doubt....
 

say Tony Levin:D

Damn you.........
 

I expect the answer is staring me in the face and I'm going to kick myself when it comes out.

The only thing I can get is that I can buy music by all of them on Amazon. :D

Dig deeper
 

It seems too early for a clue, so I don't have one for you yet.

If they all recorded for Capitol Records, I was not aware of it.

they've all used a sitar on a recording?

sitar
 

That's a very interesting guess, Jim. I'm not aware of a Pixies song or a Bob Dylan one with a sitar though. Nor Phish or Beastie Boys, for that matter. It doesn't mean there hasn't been one, but that wasn't the answer I was looking for.

(Note that I said it was an interesting guess, not a close one... Except for the "they've all" part.)

They've all been praised by critics? Ok that was lame, but I'm feeling goofy today, so watch out!

OK a clue
 

I was busy watching out for Yesspaz's goofiness yesterday, but today I'm ready to give a clue.

The answer has less to do with the artist and more to do with their song(s).

I could also add The Flower Kings to that list, along with plenty of others.

they all cite..
 

Marianne Faithfull as an influence?:rolleyes:

Re: they all cite..
 

Well Marianne was always up to some MONKEY business wasn't she?

eg:
Peter G - Shock the Monkey
Jethro Tull - Steel Monkey
Flower Kings - Monkey Business

Well that's all I could come up with from the playlist.

yes!
 

God's Monkey, Sylvian & Fripp
can't remember the Steely Dan, know there's one
Beatles - Everybody's Got Something to hide.....

Not sure (nor do I really care) about others....

Keith how did you guess that?

Way to go my fellow primate!

hoohoohoohoo

Re: yes!
 

I got WAY TOO MUCH time on my hands. :D

Let's all go Ape!!!!

Yep that's it
 

Keith got it!

The Beatles - Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey
Jethro Tull - Steel Monkey
Sylvian & Fripp - God's Monkey
Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey
Phish - Sleeping Monkey
Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey
Steely Dan - Monkey in your Soul
The Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven
Bob Dylan - Tweeter and the Monkey Man

Etc. The common thread was "songs with the word Monkey in the title."

Re: Yep that's it
 

did I say sitar before? I meant monkey. honest....:rolleyes:

don't touch
 

the White Ape!

Re: Re: Yep that's it
 

well jim he ought to get pts off for not knowing the Beatles one:)

Re: Re: Re: Yep that's it
 

Okay, another time buyer - name 124 songs on the moon that feature a sitar. One at a time is OK....:D

Re: Re: Re: Re: Yep that's it
 

Almost anything by Quintessence.
Lamp of the Universe.

for spaz
 

name the King's X tune with a sitar!

There are two King's X songs with sitar. The one you're probably alluding to is "Not Just for the Dead." The other is "Out of the Silent Planet" (although it may be an effect - maybe a Danelectro sitar pedal).



...I believe it's time to add these songs in line for future BrainRocks. "Great bass-line on Out of the Silent Planet."

correct, as expected
 

;)

Those songs would be better to ease the non-Kx fan in (Pleadies is one too).

Re: correct, as expected
 

Is that a request?
I've got Johnny kicking off BrainRock this week (8-3 and 8-4). That's a good one to meet King's X by also.

I figured I'd hijack a dead thread to see what happens
 

Darth Maul? Didn't he die in one of the first two episodes? Is that why he's not in episodes 4-6?

That, or perhaps he didn't fully consider the effects of the aging process on his tattooed face, and now doesn't appear in public.

Or maybe he fell asleep with those yellow contacts in one too many times, damaged his eyes, and can no longer wear contacts. Again, he refuses to be seen in public with his bifocals on but can't see without them.

Van Vader..........
 

Wasn't he a giant wrestler in WCW along with ricky Steamboat?

See what you've done moses??????

Re: Van Vader..........
 

Vader....too recent for Steamboat, he was a bit earlier.;)
