Music Group Community Group
Wow, I'm so sorry guys! I haven't been active in this group for what seems like years. I just don't get on here like I used to. But, I've decided to get back on here and update a few things. So, I welcome everyone to the music group :)
If you've been following the previous thread that I started you've probably figured out by now that I wish VH1's "My Generation" (the game show, not the series that preceded it) lasted longer than it did. Memories of it are coming back, and I concede at this point I'm trying to find ways to keep myself occupied.
So far I've done song mash-ups based one of the show' speedrounds (there were several during the run and they rotated). For this game, I'm going to use of the show's musically inclined categories....okay, I'm lacking on originality here, but hey.
The category is Gimme Three Steps. I'm going to name three songs by an act, and your job is to name the act. It could be a solo artist or a group. I will try to use the best known song by that act to keep matters fair. Then feel free to post some of your own.
For instance, if the songs I gave you were:
Ballroom Blitz
Fox on the Run
Love Is Like Oxygen
The act I would be looking for is Sweet. I hope that makes sense to everyone.
Now try one on your own. We've got:
Feels Like the First Time
Urgent
Blue Morning, Blue Day

I’ve probably watched the sequel to __________________ more than I’ve watched the original.

Here's everything that's been happening in the world of Pop Culture this past week... in case you missed it! Feel free to comment on any of the stories and info shared here, add any news bits that you caught going on that may have been missed, or at least show us some love if you read the post but have nothing to comment on by clicking on that little heart icon at the bottom of the post...GENERAL...
Now try this one:
Summer of '69
Run to You
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Yours would be Bryan Adams.
Let's see how you do with this one:
In Your Room
Manic Monday
Eternal Flame
Next set:
Wild Wild Life
Once in a Lifetime
Psycho Killer
By the way, all that infighting the Bangles had started around the time they recorded Walk Like An Egyptian - the didn't really want to record it because it didn't fit their style and aside from Manic Monday (which was given to them to sing by Prince) they wrote their own material and we're keen on the song because it went against their rock cred but did it because they needed another song to fill out the album Different Light. They say the recording process on it was so difficult it is what led to them starting to fight and created such tension in the band that eventually led to their breakup. I was a big Bangles fan back in the day...
Next:
Adult Education
Say It Isn't So
I Can't Go For That
I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) was wonderfully sublime, I really recommend you guys watch that one on the Tube.
Now try this one:
The Day I Tried To Live
Burden In My Hand
Superunknown
I have to admit I had to look yours up. The only Soundgarden song I actually know is Black Hole Sun. I wouldn't know if any of those were well known hits of any kind; they just were not my thing.
Let's try this bunch:
Hold On My Heart
Misunderstanding
Land Of Confusion
(thinks) Okay, try this one:
Listen to the Music
It Keeps You Running
What a Fool Believes
(Hint: The second lead vocalist with this group was a sideman for Steely Dan before he was recruited.)
Yours is the Doobie Brothers.
I don't remember if we've ever done this group yet...but one of these songs just came on and motivated me to go with them...so here goes nothing...
Angel Eyes
Waterloo
Take A Chance On Me
You're referring to ABBA, who also scored with "Dancing Queen" (which would have made this too easy) and "Mama Mia", the latter of which was years later the title of a musical that featured many of their best songs.
Okay, let's see what I can think of...okay:
Handle With Care
Tweeter and the Monkey Man
Rattled
This is tough, so here's a starter clue: This was a late-80s supergroup that consisted of Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
Ok, next one...
#9 Dream
Instant Karma
Watching The Wheels
Anyway, I believe you're pointing toward John Lennon. Instant Karma was always groovy to my ears.
It's been forever since I've played on this, it seems:
Fire on High
Last Train to London
Strange Magic
I wanted to include their biggest hit, but that would make it too easy, so here's some help: Thanks to a screw-up on a telephone call, their first album was titled "No Answer" in the US when the intention was for it to be self-titled.
Oh and yes of course the last post I did was indeed John Lennon.
Hmm... a new set of three...
21 Guns
Basket Case
Wake Me Up When September Ends
my next three songs are
Radar Love
Twilight Zone
When the Lady Smiles
