It's seasons.

Happiness is Easy was on the album The Colour of Spring.
Season of the Shark has season in the title.

This is, of course, a guess as I don't know the others $:-\$

I think you've cracked it, as the Small Faces have a fantastic album called The Autumn Stone.

Steeleye Span had an album called Winter...

Lazy Sunday is on Autumn Stone

Woofage hasn't posted his question, but I've got one that can get us going again.

Where could you find a Britton replaced by an English man who wasn't, and Henry replaced Jimmy, who sounded like a brother?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #1229 on:** 29 March, 2010, 12:18:52 pm »

Wings. Jimmy McCulloch replaced Henry McCullough, while Geoff Britton was replaced by Joe English who is USAnian..

clarion · « **Reply #1230 on:** 29 March, 2010, 12:21:37 pm »

Spot on. I hoped it might take a little longer (tho not as long as my previous more cryptic questions). I dithered about mentioning the other two with the same unusual first name (Dennys Laine & Sewell).

Good work that man. Off you go.

btw, I ought to warn you that I have another question ready to roll

Woofage · « **Reply #1231 on:** 29 March, 2010, 01:09:50 pm »

Sorry everyone. Forgot to post a Q.

I have one now if that's OK with clarion?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #1232 on:** 29 March, 2010, 02:35:03 pm »

I'm not Clarion but I think it's Woofage's go...

clarion · « **Reply #1233 on:** 29 March, 2010, 03:09:57 pm »

Yeah, Woofage. It's your turn. I was just filling in in case things didn't get restarted. Maybe M. le Maire can post something next time we get stuck

Woofage · « **Reply #1234 on:** 29 March, 2010, 03:10:18 pm »

OK, here's (maybe) a quick one in a crossword stylee:

Name the song & band:
A Gallic Force uses basic photography

clarion · « **Reply #1235 on:** 30 March, 2010, 03:49:42 pm »

That's a tricky one. 'Gallic Force' doesn't really take me anywhere (ALA? La Royale?), and 'basic photography'? What? Snapshot? Daguerrotype? Tintype? Photogram?

citoyen · « **Reply #1236 on:** 30 March, 2010, 03:57:54 pm »

If it's a crossword clue, can we at least have the number of letters, please?

d.

Woofage · « **Reply #1237 on:** 30 March, 2010, 07:49:12 pm »

band: 6, 7
song: 5, 4 (clue: for Force, note the use of capital and forget about physics)

Very clever

My clue was obviously too much of a clue

.

Over to you

Redlight · « **Reply #1240 on:** 30 March, 2010, 08:24:20 pm »

OK, another crossword style one - relatively easy I think

Financial advice for those who die?

nicknack · « **Reply #1241 on:** 30 March, 2010, 08:50:05 pm »

I don't suppose it's "Let's Lynch the Landlord" by the Dead Kennedys?

Redlight · « **Reply #1242 on:** 30 March, 2010, 08:58:14 pm »

nope - much more mainstream

border-rider · « **Reply #1243 on:** 30 March, 2010, 09:45:22 pm »

Don't pay the ferryman ?

<this is is no way an endorsement of his music>

Redlight · « **Reply #1244 on:** 30 March, 2010, 09:58:22 pm »

Clue - I'm looking for a line from a (well known) song rather than the title, although the title is also financially relevant

Pingu · « **Reply #1245 on:** 30 March, 2010, 10:05:18 pm »

Declare the pennies on your eyes?

Redlight · « **Reply #1246 on:** 30 March, 2010, 10:11:49 pm »

Over to you, Pingu!

(the line is from Taxman by the Beatles)

Anagram

clarion · « **Reply #1248 on:** 30 March, 2010, 10:48:46 pm »

An anagram of 'anagram' is 'Raga man'. So my answer is Ravi Shankar

clarion · « **Reply #1249 on:** 31 March, 2010, 09:14:05 am »

Of course, it could be 'A rag man', so Scott Joplin is also a plausible answer.
