I didn't say who it was. How did you arrive at Led Zeppelin ?

 

[Moxie]

I said Led Zeppelin in my last post on the previous page. Perhaps I misinterpreted your response on this page. It could be LZ.

 

[Vince Evert]

Oh OK I have gone back to have a look and noticed your post. Well done, Moxie.

And this was their debut single (or 45 in those days). Awesome track. Let's karaoke to it, now LOL -

I was going to try to dig out the track, but I'll take the answer. (I love Led Zeppelin, but it's hard to know every cut, and even harder to remember the titles, as they often don't relate. OK, that one did.) No one can answer #5, so you better just tell us. Then do another one, but as I said before, try to make it a bit easier.

 

[Vince Evert]

Good on you Moxie, yeah awesome group. Interestingly just as one iconic band ended their career - The Beatles rooftop concert (Let it Be movie) in January 1969 another iconic four piece band arrived the same month with their 'Led Zeppelin' album and debut 45 'Good Times, Bad Times'.

 

[Vince Evert]

ONYA Moxie !

 

[Vince Evert]

BTW... I did say in my first post, if members know the artist and/or the song title. It's good if you know both but also it's OK if you don't know the tune.

 

[Vince Evert]

OK this was the #5. Australia's legendary band Cold Chisel. They were Rock n Roll all the way. But 'Rising Sun Stole My Girl Away' had a distinctive rockabilly beat. Hope you like the song -

 

[Vince Evert]

Ah Bless You Moxie.
I had a feelin' you would like that song. The Chisel were active between the years 1973 -1984 but had never cracked the all-important US market. OK new quiz is in the works for next weekend. The fragments will feature famous tunes and be edited to about 6 seconds long each and maybe 1-2 tracks that were only ever album tracks (such as the Creedence 'Pagan Baby' and Jacko 'Burn this Disco Out'). How does that sound ?

 

[Moxie]

It sounds challenging. I will say I forgot that it was ok to guess one thing: title or artist, not both. Will that still be the rule? I used to play this game with an old boyfriend, in the car, with the radio: first one to to say one correct thing about the song got the point. It was a fun game.

The Elvis one I do on another forum is even more challenging (14 tracks nearly edited to 1 second each) but they're very observant over there and got it right LOL.

 

[Moxie]

That sounds tough. But it's probably the Elvis forum that you mentioned. They're all ringers. Just remember, we're a tennis forum. Go easy on us! LOL.

 

[Vince Evert]

Will do !

 

[Vince Evert]

Any Nina fans here ? Here's a cool track i put up on YT a couple years back. From her album 'Nina sings The Blues' -

 

[Vince Evert]

Comes to think of it, Skyhooks were another Aussie band who never cracked the US market.
They had a quirky (but always fun) image and catchy song titles (Women in Uniform was probably their best record).
This was the band's comeback single - Jukebox in Siberia. Hey Moxie I think you'll like this one -

 

[britbox]

Talking of Aussie bands, Did Midnight Oil crack the States?

 

[Vince Evert]

Not to my knowledge but I stand corrected. Only the Bee Gees, ACDC, Little River Band, Air Supply and going back some decades, The Seekers have made any kind of impression among Aussie groups.

 

[Vince Evert]

britbox did you know the Zeppelin song 'Good times, Bad Times' i included in the quiz ?
