It seems that either nobody knows the answer to my previous question, or else nobody cares that both bands' drummers, Grant Hart and Pete Gill, are gay, so let's think of another...

Pete Gill gay? I never knew that, and I'm a Saxon fan. I'm impressed that someone could put up with the world of Heavy Metal and be out. Good on him

Tho he did work with the Glitterband....

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #1102 on:** 15 February, 2010, 03:57:13 pm »

I know Elton Dean lent his first name to Reg Dwight, and Spooky Tooth's Luther Grosvenor became known as Ariel Bender when in Mott The Hoople and that Bat For Lashes is not Natasha Khan's real name so I'm thinking along pseudonymous lines here.

Not having ever heard of Michael Brecker, Wild Beasts or Michael Shrieve, however, almost certainly means I am this: barking up the wrong Hitler.

IIRC he didn't come out until after he'd left Motorbonce.

Malvina Reynolds did a song called "Song In My Pocket"

What, she did another one apart from Little Boxes? Oh. No wonder I didn't get it.

Considering any two of the list should give you it. Very simple really. Could have included lots of others in the list.

nicknack · « **Reply #1108 on:** 16 February, 2010, 10:58:16 am »

Well, that seems to have killed it.

citoyen · « **Reply #1109 on:** 16 February, 2010, 11:50:53 am »

It's all very well saying consider any two on the list, but there's only one I know anything about - Bat For Lashes.

Wild guess: they've all duetted with Scott Walker?

All famous for feathered head-dresses?

Zoidburg · « **Reply #1111 on:** 16 February, 2010, 11:54:49 am »

The link is "Daniel".

Zoidburg · « **Reply #1112 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:08:56 pm »

Or first names.

Zoidburg · « **Reply #1113 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:09:13 pm »

I think.

nicknack · « **Reply #1114 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:43:17 pm »

It's a number.

Zoidburg · « **Reply #1115 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:44:57 pm »

Elton and BFL have both peformed a song called "Daniel" though.

Is the number 2?

clarion · « **Reply #1116 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:46:08 pm »

Two? as in Two Suns by BfL?

Beaten to it, I think.

EDIT: Albums with two in the title - Spooky Two is another...

Gewgling gives me Brecker's Two Blocks from the Edge

nicknack · « **Reply #1117 on:** 16 February, 2010, 12:52:05 pm »

Yup. The number two in an album title.

Michael Brecker - Two Blocks From The Edge
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two
Wild Beasts - Two Dancers
Elton Dean - Two's and Three's
Michael Shrieve - Two Doors

No, honest, the house is really untidy.

clarion · « **Reply #1120 on:** 16 February, 2010, 05:40:05 pm »

Right. What links:

ABC
Dexy's Midnight Runners
Scritti Politti
Arthur Conley

and why is the last the odd one out?

Records that celebrate a very famous artist?

Sounds like a good answer - though Jackie Wilson Said should really be credited to Van Morrison, right?
