first: revisionism and meedeepustapuhlojeeze to mr. maurer...

i've stupidly mistaken his AC/DC answer for p#2 which is absolutely a nah_fact, because KISS are reportedly much, much fiercer...

on the plus side, this little correction boosted Greg up to this week's top 3, yet more important: it made the rich ones only awfully richer.. Moonbeam, Honorio and RockyR are rubbing their hands in glee..

Thanks for the introduction to the Eric Prydz video whoever nominated it! But after watching them all, my vote goes to Robbie Williams.

this looks fun, though are you meant to guess something correct and obscure, or correct and wellknown??

first of all the presumably "wellknown", Antimony... correctness is only secondary




ps_edit: oh, right.. for all IWSnoobs:

It’s basically played like Family Feud.
Each participant answers correspondingly to a package of 5 questions per round (10 rounds in total). However, it’s not important to give a “right“ (or „one’s most favourite“ in this case) answer, but one that will be most likely given by as many other participants as possible. Hence the points each answer/participant receives result from the amount of entries that are corresponding.

For instance:
“Name an influential band from the 1960’s“ : your answer is “The Beatles“. Two other guys did also choose that answer. 63 people voted for „The Monkees“ instead. Thus each one of them receives 63 points, while you only have 3 points on your account. Too bad...

Of course, winner is the one with the most points after all 50 questions have been put, answered and evaluated.

Note:
send me your answers via
jadepalooka@googlemail.com,
DON’T POST THEM HERE!

Everybody is free to join and leave the game at any later stage. No explanations for the answers needed.

I personally was surprised no one went with Pearl Jam's "Jeremy." Sure, it may not be "disturbing" now, but back in the day, that video was jaw-dropping.

netjade,why aren't you playing? I'd say you'd have a decent chance of winning...

I finally watched the X-hoody version.
The atmosphere was a bit different than in original.

PACKAGE 6

1. name a Chuck Berry song - except Johnny B. Goode and Maybellene

2. name a remarkably talented/influential musician, who otherwise appear(s/ed) to be a total a**hole

3. name a song with the word “Rock“ in it

4. name a 1960's girl group - except The Ronettes & The Supremes

5. name a Prince penned song that got recorded by another musician/band - except "Nothing Compares 2 U"

"Lovesexy" was the answer that automatically came to my mind to P2, but then I remembered that "Dirty Mind" cover... I guess Prince is the king of the embarrasing cover artwors!

Lovesexy and Dirty Mind are awesome album covers, people. Awesome. I thought this forum of all places would recognize that!

You're totally right, Moonbeam. Although they are quite embarrasing, they're both great pieces of art, if you can understand me. But, let's be honest, the cover artwork from the album "Prince" doesn't look that good! Did he really intend to appear with that expression or wasn't he much photogenic?

The Prince album cover is indeed terrible, as is Newpower Soul. Now those are Prince album covers I'm happy to pick on!

while on the topic of awful album covers, i came across this a couple days ago.

http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/6194-the-worst-record-covers-of-all-time/

Yeah; I'd move 2 to 1 and 45 to 2. 21 is most disturbing, and number 11 cracks me up the most. Btw Michael, I'm pretty sure the one you mention from Pitchfork is on both lists.

When do we get results? I have a very boring life!

no, you don't.

ps: DJ Hon just sent in his list... so..

Wow! Netjade broke code to tell me I don't have a boring life...which I find strangely inspiring.

i seriously hope so... now since you're a part of the fAMily ;)

Welcome to the boards johan. I'm sure it's fine that you join in and since netjade isn't around right now I'll tell you that the email address is jadepalooka@googlemail.com

Thanks John :)

I also realised that the email adress was posted further up in the thread. Should have noticed it the first time round

so.... is this over?

Why is Elvis Costello a total a**hole?

Aren't all Brits? Just kidding.

9 people said Manic Monday... I don't know why, but I never knew Prince wrote that.
