[Q]

12. Stevie Wonder

Ok Jel, you beat me to it. >:(

But you should capitalise names really 8-)

Well, there was a comparatively short gap between the entries, so:

1. Jel 1pt
2. Q 0.5pts.

One more post from Jel, and you won't be able to speak to him like that, Q. ;) ;D

[petem]

3 Looks like a very young and thin Elton John
4 Isaac Hayes?
13 Rik Wakeman-Yes
20 Alan Price-The Animals

[Sparky]

17. Jimmy Saville (Saville's Travels) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Petem - No 3) not Elton, and to give you a clue: the little intro he plays to a famous record would be my chosen ringtone. So if you can solve him and his group (they're American btw) you can have an extra bonus for naming the track as well.
Everything else is okay, so 5pts to you.

Sparky - just 0.5 for naming one of three famous male peroxide blonds - but it's not the answer. How's about that then ? ;D

[Lord Cheeky]

2) Jeff Healy ? not sure if thats his name but if memory serves me correct he was in the film Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze

Wasn't a very good picture of 2), Lord Cheeky, so I've added another one alongside.
And to help even further, he's seen just as often with a guitar:

[petem]

16 John Lord-Deep Purple,Whitesnake

3pts, Pete, for identifying "Lord of the Hammond".

2 Steve Winwood?- Spencer Davis Group,Traffic

[Chris_Sav]

Is 8) an aged Georgie Fame??

3pts for Pete for sucessfully identifying artiste and groups.
1pt for Sav for Georgie Fame and could have hoovered up extra easy point but declined to ! ;)

Bonus points!!! Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames.

Always one of my favs just a few years decades ago. Preferred his R&B stuff, but that's not what he's known for.

Been trying to spot Alan Price among these as well (The Price of Fame!!) but couldn't spot him, roll on Google time!! ;D

Sav

Bonus points indeed !
1pt for the Blue Flames, and 0.5 for mentioning someone who you didn't think was there but is !! ;D

7. Alan Price ;)

.....er, no, actually. :D

Checking back, i've just discovered that Alan Price has already gone - Petem correctly identified him as number 20.

So unfortunately I have to take away the 0.5pt I gave to Sav.

Sav - ;D sorry but you can blame Q for sticking this in:

[Mark James]

Is number 9 John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin?

Spot on, Mark, excellent point with group bonus.

[petem]

Probably wrong but here goes
11 Keith Emerson-ELP
14 Brian Eno-Roxy Music
15 Elton John from the film Tommy playing the pinball machine
19 Ben E King

[CraigC]

If Petem is correct with 19, I'll try and steal a point with the Drifters. Ben E king was a member, along with about 30 others at different times. Bit like the Ship Of Theseus, the group that finished was completely different from that which started.

Bonus points 0.5 for both 11) and 14) as they are on there but answers to different ones !
15 not Elton I'm afraid - he's not that energetic. This guy is standing on top of his equipment and playing it backwards !
19 not Ben E King, sorry - but 0.5 bonus as he is rated amongst the list of top keyboard players. So that's 1.5pts without any actually being right ! ;)

As above, not Ben E.King of the Drifters. However I love any classical references, and studied the Aenead at school, so 0.5pts for that.
My example would have been more lowbrow: In Only Fools and Horses, Trigger claimed to have used the same broom for 20 years - but it had had 16 new brushes and 8 new handles ! ;D

[Mark James]

I'm reduced to playing a real long-shot here, but no.17 looks as if he could possibly be albino, so I'll have a stab at Edgar Winter, he of his self-named group.

Well done Mark, Edgar Winter correct. He and his band had one big hit called Frankenstein.

Whoops ! silly me, Genesis.
Glad to see you looking up old quizzes, we've had loads but people seem to have tired of them recently.

Anyway, think I can award you a point for that correction, and I'll deduct half-a-point from myself as there once was a Peter Banks in Yes. ;D ;)

Revised final tally :
1. Petem 12.5pts
2. MarkJ 4pts
3. Sav 2pts
4= Jel 1pt

9. tommo -0.5pt

[Hon Vice President (R.I.P.)]

4th?
Splendid.

Personally, Tommo, I would have the half-point back again; purely on an anorak basis, for knowing of Peter Banks at all...

Unless you wish to award it to me?
Peter Banks is a guitarist. ;)
