HA! Starland Vocal Band are one of those quintessential 'here today-gone tomorrow' situations that I wish would happen to alot of the pop artists that exist today. They had a mega-giant hit with "Afternoon Delight", were nominated for 5 grammys and won the grammy for "Best New Artists" and from all of that...based on one song...they even had a variety show on CBS for a short time, with a young David Letterman as one of the regulars. After that? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They went nowhere. Pretty amazing. Why can't that happen to Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Ashlee Simpson? You'd figure after so much lambasting in the press and the obviousness of their lack of talent that they'd be history by now...BUT THEY'RE STILL AROUND and they still have an audience. What gives?? Total 'Teflon Idol' situation. They should all have the Starland Vocal Band curse!!!! |

Yep, probably Tommy Tutone. But it does look a little like Billy Vera and the Beaters. What's the story, Unga? Keep this thread alive! |

OK, here's the business: I got this off the internet some time ago, but it's a killer band ID quiz. Download it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/7411612/band_quiz_2.xls.html It's an excel file. 270 questions. It's pretty tough. It was made in the UK, so expect it to be very brit-centric. Also very current, which killed me. Lots of boy bands, etc. See how well you can do, and DON'T CHEAT. Post your scores here. I got 140. |

I'm stumped on this one. The guy sitting down looks familiar. Tell you what though..the hippie/Doobie Brother hair and the disco shoes and suits DO NOT mix. What was up with all those mellow 70s bands and musicians and their BEARDS? Kenny Loggins, some of the guys in that group Orleans, a few of the guys in Toto...they all had those well groomed beards. Looked like a bunch of 'Just For Men' ads. Whatta LAME-ASS look! |
