Moodski has it with Blur, no? Country House in the Oasis showdown and then something like End of the Century that came after? If that's right, I didn't know this piece of triv.

Let's give it to So Like Candy! Radiohead released the track "Lucky" as a single towards the end of 1995 in aid of War Child and it would evetually appear on OK Computer, but it wasn't a big hit. Then in January they released "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" as a fifth single lifted from The Bends, reaching the top ten in the UK a being the most successful single off that album.

Away you go SLC (can someone do the scores?)

SLC, where for art thou?

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 6:40 pm

Cool question, Dr J. Had no idea it might be the Head.

Why do people keep asking other people to do the scores and not just do them themselves? I can get away with saying this as I was probably the last person to do them!

According to her blog, slc is busy doing a paper, so maybe DrJ would be good enough to give us another great question and get this thread back on the road.

Halfnelson became Sparks,

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 9:07 am

Crow, you obviously have us all stumped. Please give us the answer and a new question.

PlaythingOrPet · Post by **PlaythingOrPet** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 11:16 am

Martin, are you always this impatient? Take it easy, la.

Haven't got a clue, Crow. Dr Feelgood? Stones?

So who's in the lead? Buggered if I know...

SoLikeCandy · Post by **SoLikeCandy** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 12:18 pm

Sorry, guys--I was off writing an opus. After the final exam is over, can I come back and play with you guys...?

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 6:39 pm

Hey, sorry Martin mate...but she's done it...Dr Feelgood...do guesses count? Well, Im gonnae except your first answer...

The bassists from both Brinsley Scwarz and Procul Harem (Nick Lowe and Dave Bronze) were the producers on Dr Feelgood albums!! Oh the serendipity PoP!!!

That was a complete guess! Should I get the point? I'm probably trailing a million anyway.

Who is the only member of Pink Floyd to appear on all of the band's albums?

A rather boring, yet remarkably easy question.

martinfoyle · Post by **martinfoyle** » Tue Jun 22, 2004 3:59 am

Nick Mason?

PlaythingOrPet · Post by **PlaythingOrPet** » Tue Jun 22, 2004 4:17 am

Easy. Over to you, Meester Foyle...
