Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND!
John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 29 2011 09:06 PM |
OK, you guys and I are long sick and tired of the serpentine guess-answer style of this contest. So with three slots left to fill, we are going to finish this contest before the first pitch of the Mets season. Here's how.

I knew there had to be another Led Zeppelin song on the list, in fact I thought they would be the band that appears twice. My strategy going forward was going to keep guessing Led Zeppelin until the end of the contest.

All songs from the 70'd MGIM, Sledgehammer is not IIRC.

Shhhh.

metirish Mar 30 2011 06:00 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Will wrong and right answers go towards the points? , it's very close at the bottom.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 30 2011 06:05 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
|
Yup, -1 for each wrong.

I don't know shit about Peter Gabriel and I don't recall the song title - Solsbury Hill. I could've googled him up, but that would be peeking, in my book. But I can consider Solsbury because you all picked it. I can gather from the banter that Solsbury is '70's. Here's my strategy for the lightning round. There's two or three of you that haven't picked yet and whose picks I'm waiting on because I guarantee to myself that the combined picks of those two or three will contain all the right answers.

HahnSolo Mar 30 2011 09:40 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
It's a great song--Solsbury Hill--just wouldn't have imagined it in a classic rock list. Check it out if you don't know it.
|
metirish Mar 30 2011 09:45 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Curious to see if that is the Gabriel song though , it's so obvious a choice for the 70's , too obvious?
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 30 2011 09:46 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |

In order? 52, 59, 89? Just checking

It kinda has to be. Although it would be HILARIOUS if something like "Moribund the Burgermeister" snuck on here over "Born to Be Wild," "Smoke on the Water," the auxilliary AC/DC, etc.
|
Willets Point Mar 30 2011 09:58 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Googling is peeking, but cribbing off other participants is not (even when the Quizmaster suggested we avoid other peoples' guesses)?
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 30 2011 10:02 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |

I think it was more like, "Try not to get worked up about other peoples' guesses, Crane Pool denizens whose names rhyme with 'matvagadanyeadoff.'"
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 30 2011 10:04 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
I'm not suggesting anything here but if you're concerned about that, put up a fake guess then edit it at 11:59 am Friday. Or just refrain from entering a guess until then.

batmagadanleadoff Mar 30 2011 10:30 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |

So every right lightning round song is worth at least two more points than originally intended? I say fuck the scoring. Whoever wins the lightning round wins the contest. Give Edgy a fair chance, ferchrissakes. He's an encyclopedia of pop music and he's been playing it straight all along.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 30 2011 10:36 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Everyone will win a prize for participating, don't worry.

Yeah, I'm just looking forward to the balloon.

You didn't miss much. There were accusations of cheating early on when somebody pulled "Eleanor Rigby" out of their ass at #94.

Early on? You mean earlier than when I posted my suspicions?
|
metsmarathon Mar 31 2011 02:10 PM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
i didn't even know peter gabriel had a song out in the 70's, let alone that he's classic rock.

If you've seen a chick flick movie preview in the last two decades, you probably know "Solsbury Hill." [youtube]KmkVWuP_sO0[/youtube] (0:50, specifically)
|
The Second Spitter Apr 01 2011 04:24 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
When I was younger and more unwise and i searched for deeper meaning in music, so I climbed Solsbury Hill while listening to "Solsbury Hill". I also crossed 110th St listening to "Across 110th Street" and strolled down Baker Street listening to "Baker Street". I have a whole collection of them. Unfortunately, my application to attend "Rock N Roll High School" was rejected.

Tried my best not to look at the other guesses (but the first couple of entries were right up there on my screen).
|
batmagadanleadoff Apr 01 2011 08:08 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
I think it's pronounced Jur - Maker (rhymes with her faker)

Why do AOR/classic rock stations play these two songs together?
|
Edgy DC Apr 01 2011 08:21 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
'Cuz the transition is awesome.
|
Centerfield Apr 01 2011 08:41 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Agreed. It's not two separate songs, it's a song with two chapters.
|
Willets Point Apr 01 2011 10:08 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Time's up!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 01 2011 10:56 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
OK, it's all over, and nobody gets the 20-point bonus.

Top Van Halen song of all time is "Mean Streets"?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 01 2011 11:12 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
Congrats to Sharpie for being the only one to get 2 correct songs (Blue Sky, cmon, they're prolly playing it now).
|
metirish Apr 01 2011 11:13 AM Re: Klassik Rawk Khampionship: LIGHTNING ROUND! |
So , no change at the bottom then?

right there with you , you stay at - 9 points and I stay at - 7 points , Mole splits us at - 8.....not easy to do folks...

Gotya Gwreck. Mole's nonparticipation in the final round moved him into the cellar all alone

I'd like to thank the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and for all the kids in high school who thought I was uncool so that I had nothing better to do with my time than sit home alone listening to classic rock radio for hours on end. I'll wear the belt with pride.

Hey Scoring Dude: I picked Solsbury and Blue Sky. I'm off to study these countdowns.

Harsh. I didn't even get scored.

Sorry Man, you got 2 points. I missed you & Gwreck but I think I got you all added up in the totals.

Awesome find mm. I think one of my first duties as Klassik Rawk champion will be to reconcile this list with our missed songs.

My inspiration probably came from hearing an interview of Alan Bean (Apollo 12), who had a propensity for the zany (left some personal effects on the moon, including, according to rumor, a Playboy centerfold). The DJ asked him what would you do if you ever had a chance to go back to the moon? He replied: I”d listen to “Walking on the Moon” while walking on the moon.
