As we all seem to enjoy those quizes, here is another slideshow from our pop quiz of this year. The question is simple: can you identify these 20 beautiful people and/or bands
Yes it is the magic numbers. One of my favourite singing in the shower bands. I love them and they make me feel good every time I step on the scales too.
1 is Bonnie "Prince" Billy 9 Dinosaur Jr 17 is that German band all the kids go crazy about. Tokio hotel or police, or something. 19 is the guy from Boney M
I got 10 of them, but all taken I see.. thought Dinosaur jr. would be mine but ejaydee has beaten me to it.
is 7 Mick Monroe from Hanoi Rocks? all the big hair looks the same to me!
Got the 78r.p.m cd this morning.. it is fantastic, can't thank you enough..my son was bopping around too...so the entire household gives it a thumbs up..cheers.
1. Bonnie Prince Billy 2. Lemmy 3. ? 4. Shane MacGowan 5. Edgar Winter 6. Marilyn Manson 7. Singer from Poison: Brett someone? 8. Dinosaur Jr 9. ? 10. Amy Winehouse 11. Lee Scratch Perry 12. Mark Lanegan & Greg Dulli 13. ? 14. Britney Spears? 15. The Magic Numbers 16. ? 17. Thom Yorke 18. The mannequin from BoneyM ! 19. Neil Young 20. Beth Ditto
I think I can bring this one home. 3 is Bonnie Tyler, after ingesting the contents of the infamous "Reading bottle". 9 is Yellow Tango, a Yo La Tengo tribute band. 13 is Lord Lucan. 16 is Czech teen idols Fukkwitzz.
Speaking of Lord Lucan (I was) reminds me of Billy Connolly's "Blue Murder":
The whole of society was buzzin' When I did a bunk they called fuzz in They're still Lucan for me But I'm gonna stay free Cos i happen to be the Queen's cuzzin
1. Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy 2. Lemmy (Motorhead) 3. ? 4. Shane McGowan 5. Johnny Winter 6. Marilyn Manson 7. ? 8. Dinosaur Jr. 9. Hank von Helvete (Turbonegro) 10. Amy Whinehouse (..brilliant, that Dee Dee Ramone suggestion... ;-) ) 11. Lee 'Scratch' Perry 12. Greg Dulli / Mark Lanegan (the Gutter Twins) 13. ? 14. Britney Spears 15. The Magic Numbers 16. Tokio Hotel 17. Thom Yorke (Radiohead) 18. Bobby Farrell (Boney M) 19. Neil Young 20. Beth Ditto (the Gossip)
Hints: 3 is a Dutch hippie, who is living proof that smoking is quite a good conservation method..., might be the hardest one for you all to find 7. Strange that no one know him, the person in the background might also be a clue (and you can view the slide show full screen...) 13. Fronted a new wave band, his surname was part of the band name, after that he made some very stylish pop records, he is now exploring the music of the southern parts of the US of A (New Orleans, Tex-Mex etc.) and he is almost completely forgotten.....
ps. the slide show title "Moeder's Mooiste" translates as "Mother's Finest"...
no. 3 is Dutch flower child Armand, had a couple of hits in 1967/68, one of them called "Blommenkinderen" (Flower Children), another one was called "De Hasjiesjman" (Cannabis Man). Whenever Dutch TV needs an elderly statesman on the subject of hippie culture/smoking all kinds of dutch specialities, he turns up....
Leaves number 13......
ps. Thijs van Leer (Focus) nowadays is ca. 10 times the size of Armand, I guess he doesn't smoke.....

@ nilpferd - God, I wish I'd thought of that! Do you think I could slip over to ejaydee's thread and post it as if it were my own idea...
ReplyDeletecourse you can!
ReplyDeleteTonNL, your clues have led me to a theory about no.13... is it somebody whose one big hit was a song about walking leisurely in an Hispanic fashion?
