Played this over at seaislewitch's LJ and totally stole it from her. I hope she doesn't mind, but it was hard to pass up. **lurves her**With a single line of prose, rock bands became icons. Guess the classic song and the band. In addition, just like QI, tell me something interesting about the song/artist or tell me an interesting anecdote about the song ( Read more... )

Awwww... those were the only two I could guess. You beat me to it.

I know I know #4 as well, I can almost hear it in my head, but I can't for the life of me place it right now. I strongly suspect that it's going to be a *headdesk* moment for me though....

I had one of those moments with seaislewitch, too. I knew the line came from a Doors song, but I couldn't place it.

Very good! You're absolutely right!

7. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- Free Fallin'

At least three others look really, REALLY familiar, but I can't place them.

George Harrison wanted to work on a new album in the late 80s. He and a few buddies got together for a jam session in a garage. One of the guys looked at a box that said, "Handle with Care," and they started tossing lyrics around. After they realized what a good thing they had started, George, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne became the Traveling Wilburys:

I thought the Traveling Wilburys were great! And #7 is correct. I figured that wiould be an easy one.

Insufferable Know-it-all!

You're absolutely right, of course.

bambu345 January 25 2008, 22:41:39 UTC

Oh ... oh ... oh!

I know another!

#3 is Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas.

Humph ... didn't raise your hand this time.

And you're right. Very good! See, you can do these musical thingees!

I got that one, too! Don't Fear the Reaper was on my playlist when I was writing my Snily.

*sniffles just thinking about it*

*stops thinking about it*

Correct!

It definitely sounds like we do! I was born about ten years too late, I think.

My high school boyfriend introduced me to BOC. I can remember my best friend being determined to learn the piano intro to "Joan Crawford," and how excited she was when she finally had it figured out.
