Maybe we should keep him under Lock & Key Good point... Remember, I had just met Sing at this point...didn't know him that well.... So, I take it it's NOT Lock and Key?

I mean, I do Google all the time, but not on this game.

Thanks, guys! I hope this will be fun. I propose Sunday, Aug. 29, 9 PM Eastern time. Other suggestions as to time, content, rules, etc.?

Thanks to RushRevisited, for the green light. Dis is gwanna bee funnn! As a fan of Classic Rock (notice the capitalized letters), and an amateur rock historian, I thought it would be a great deal of fun to host a rock trivia game, much like RushRevisited's clip game, with actual "rules", "prizes", and "winners". (Whether all those things will qualify as such remains to be seen. Ha Ha) Oh, and y'all might even have fun playing, ya never know. Whodat? - My Qualifications Who the heck am I? A know-it-all? Well, yeah! You got a problem with that? Punk? Well, do ya? Ok, getting past the Clint Eastwood mode, let me just say: - I'm old. - I have a collection of vinyl LP's containing about 2000 records, spanning the Rock era from the mid 50's to the late 80's, when vinyl became obsolete. My newer collection consists, of course, of Cassettes, CD's, DVD's, MP3's, WAV's, and VHS. I've been interested in a bit of newer stuff, but I have not been as obsessed with pursuing new music since settling down, raising offspring, etc. (You know, that old chestnut.) Hence the name "Classic Rock". And for me, the name "Old Fart". - I got lots of rock books. (Sum uh um I evun had muh wifey reed tuh mee. ) - My Mother used to fret over my weekly trips to the local new/used record store, where I promptly unloaded a minimum of 25% of each measley paycheck, for a period of about 3-5 years. - I used to read Rolling Stone religiously. (But I got better. ) Da "Rules" - How It Will Work Each game will be announced well in advance, and folks will be asked for input as to times, duration, etc. I envision it on a weekend evening, running from 9 PM to Midnight Eastern time (or longer if folks are enjoying it). Sunday might work best. I will begin by starting a new thread for each game and posting the first question. Each question will be worth 100 points, regardless of how hard or easy it is, just to keep the game from getting too complicated. If no correct answer is posted, I will issue clues every once in a while. The values for each question will remain 100, regardless of clues issued, also to keep it simple. Humorous guesses, ala "Hollywood Squares" are more than welcome, and will make it more fun, too. I have no problem with "Googling" a question. Why should we be "Google-ophobic" when we use the technology of this here "inter-thingy" just to stay in touch here on the forum? Just my opinion, of coure re: Googling. But let's not overdo it, shall we? "Ringers" will be booed, hissed at, and farts will be directed in their general direction. If I make a mistake, and someone can demonstrate with a credible source, I will gladly correct myself. Full points awarded to the person making the correction. Partial points awarded to the person with the original answer, at my discretion. (Sometimes answers can be ambiguous, or multiple answers "make sense" so I want to allow for that.) I will, however try to avoid ambiguous questions, of course. If no one answers and folks want a new question, no problem! At the end, whoever has the most points wins (duh). And what is the "prize"? Da Prizes - "Tell our lucky contestant what he's won, Johnny!" I offer that which I have a plentiful supply of. I will convert to a digital format and burn a CD's worth of music from my Classic Rock collection, which I will post soon in this thread. (Need to update the list first....) I have no problem if the winner wants to pick a song here, a song there, etc. However my database does not list individual songs, but this info is readily available on the internet. (Or just ask me. ) If you're unsure, I would love to recommend stuff to the winners. (We can talk.) Of course, the majority of these will be vinyl sourced, but I will do my best to minimize surface noises inherent to LP's. I have scrupulously strived over the years to preserve my vinyl, as well. I understand the vast majority of my collection is readily available in digital format, but you can pick and choose songs. Anyways, it's all about having fun. And dere ya have it!

Need Some Love ?

"Heart Full of Soul" made me like the song, when I was never a fan of the original Yardbird's version. I liked the live version, but loved the Feedback version even more.

This choice is very hard. I chose "One Little Victory" because it so EMPHATICALLY stated that Rush is back, Neil is healthy and LET'S GET TO ROCKIN'!!
