____ and the ____Band Names Trivia Questions

1. Identify the missing band member. Emerson, _____ and Palmer

From Quiz
Flip! We've Lost a Band Member

Answer: Lake

English prog-rock supergroup made up of keyboardist Keith Emerson - formerly of the band The Nice and considered one of the most technically accomplished keyboard players in the history of rock; bass player Greg Lake - formerly a founding member of King Crimson and; Carl Palmer - one of the most respected drummers to surface in the 1960s who cut his teeth in such bands as The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster. The band formed in 1970 and its first incarnation existed until 1979 releasing landmark albums such as "Tarkus" (1971), "Brain Salad Surgery" (1973) and the amazing "Works Volume 1" (1977), which featured their most enduring piece, an adaptation of Aaron Copland's 1942 work "Fanfare For the Common Man". The partnership dissolved in 1979 but reformed in 1991 until 1998. They returned for a final performance in 2010 to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of their formation. Sadly both Emerson and Lake passed away in 2016. Whilst a number of bands from Iron Maiden through to Dream Theatre have cited them as an influence the band also received its fair share of criticism for taking their genre to excess and being pretentious. Influential DJ John Peel went so far to say that they were "a waste of time, money and electricity".

7. Identify the missing band member. ______, Stills and Nash

From Quiz Flip! We've Lost a Band Member

Answer: Crosby

David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash had all made names for themselves with other major groups before joining forces as Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN). Crosby with The Byrds, Stills with Buffalo Springfield and Nash with The Hollies. Their strengths as a trio were their songwriting skills and their intricate vocal harmonies. Within a year of forming they'd released their first album, "Crosby, Stills and Nash" (1969), and had two songs enter the Billboard Hot 100 Top Forty; "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Marrakesh Express". At this point Neil Young, a band mate with Stills at Buffalo Springfield, joined the group and they became known as CSNY. Young did not end up being a permanent member crossing between his own projects and those of the band. Of the subsequent eight studio albums to be released by Crosby, Stills and Nash only three included the talents of Young. Whilst they straddled a number of genres their major influence was on the singer-songwriter culture which exploded on the back of their success, spawning such acts as Eagles, Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne.

From Quiz Flip! We've Lost a Band Member

Answer: Bonnie

Delaney Bramlett was a highly respected session musician in Los Angeles and was also a member of the Shindogs, the house band for the ABC-TV series "Shindig!" (1964-66). Bonnie O'Farrell was a notable singer who garnered attention working alongside blues guitarist Albert King at age 14 and in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. The pair met and married. They had numerous connections within the music industry and formed a band that was centered around themselves and a range of transit band members (the Friends) that included such luminaries (amongst others) as the Allman Brothers, Dwayne and Gregg, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Eric Clapton, King Curtis and George Harrison. Whilst their albums were held in high regard they failed to sell. The height of their success came with the 1971 album "Motel Shot" which featured the hit "Never Ending Song of Love". Delaney and Bonnie were always a fiery pair and their relationship ended in divorce in 1973. Delaney has been mentioned by Eric Clapton as "the man who taught me everything I know about singing". George Harrison praised him for teaching him various techniques on the slide guitar that would become prominent in his later recordings. Delaney and Bonnie's daughter, Bekka Bramlett would also enter the music industry and, at one point in the early 1990s, fronted the band Fleetwood Mac.

In 1990 the band took a break allowing its members to pursue a number of side-projects. It was during this gap that the three got together to form Bell Biv Devoe at the suggestion of producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Their 1990 debut album was "Poison", which spawned the major singles "B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?" and "When Will I See You Smile Again?" With its combination of hip-hop, funk and soul the album was seen as one of the pioneering aspects of the "New Jack Swing" sound of the period.

29. Who were G.L. and the P? (60s) Hint: Lead singer's dad is a God in France.

From Quiz Rock and Roll, Initially

Answer: Gary Lewis and the Playboys

Yes, who WERE Gary Lewis (son of Jerry) and the Playboys? Rumor has it the band members were replaced with session musicians when recording their hits. When they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show at the beginning of their career, they couldn't duplicate the sound on the records so they talked Ed -- who typically insisted on live performances for his show -- into letting Gary sing live and the musicians pretended to play their instruments. It's obscene how many records these guys sold. Have you ever really listened to "She's Just My Style"? I think there are about four notes in the whole song. I'm guessing it took longer to sing that one than to write it. (Meow.)

30. _________ & the Playboys came to fame with songs like "She's Just My Style" and "This Diamond Ring." What's the name of the man who led the group?

From Quiz "And The Band" Played On I

Answer: Gary Lewis

Gary Lewis' father perhaps eclipses his son's fame. Jerry Lewis, actor and comedian well known for his role in "The Nutty Professor," is Gary's dad.
