The Reverend Jim's First Extremely Eclectic Music Quiz!

RESULTS

Well, I guess I made it too hard, as I got a mere five (5) responses (plus one
from The Collective telling me that they were stuck...for time and/or answers).

Here we are:

A  The Dispossessed                   6.0 points
B  Bill Houle                         5.0 points
C  Charles Jordan                     5.0 points
D  Matt Getz                          3.0 points
E  James Smith                        3.0 points

And the maximum score (before 5-point bonuses and the bonus question) possible
was 69 points...ouch.

Answers:
(ARTIST -- song -- album)
-------------------------------------

Black earth energy receptor fields
Undulate under a grey cloud shield

1.  BRUCE COCKBURN -- Silver Wheels -- In The Falling Dark

The Beast!  He will rule on the astral plane

2. DAY-GLO ABORTIONS -- Spawn of Yog-Sothoth -- Here Today, Guano Tomorrow

Me to never ever leave my fame into the hands of incompetents

3. DREAM WARRIORS -- Wash Your Face in My Sink -- And Now The Legacy Begins

Hot damn tamale, Charlie, you forgot to put on the lid

4. DREAD ZEPPELIN -- Stir It Up -- 5,000,000
   I would have accepted Bob Marley as he originally did the song, although the
   quote here is from the end of the song by DZ.  I know I asked for the
   first appearance of any remake, so I fudged it by allowing both.  Then
   again, no one got this.

The grass was thin & high
The water mirrored tiny sparkles to the sky

5. EDIE BRICKELL AND NEW BOHEMIANS -- Air of December -- Shooting Rubberbands
        at the Sky

Looking at myself through another fish's eyes or a seagull gusting high

6. STEPHEN FEARING -- Out to Sea -- Out to Sea

The sun shone bright upon the ways, and the wind blew high as I was leaving

7. ANDY IRVINE AND PATRICK STREET -- The Holy Ground -- Patrick Street

Sweet ladies of Plymouth, we bid you good-bye

8. JAMES KEELEGHAN -- Roll Down -- Timelines

But she looked pretty good, so I gave her my key

9. KING APPARATUS -- Made for TV -- <unknown>
   The song is on their album "King Apparatus", but first appeared on a 
   Toronto music compilation, or so I'm told.

Point the finger, pass the buck
Blame it all on Lady Luck

10. CHRISTINE LAVIN -- Victim/Volunteer -- Attainable Love

An envelope carries currency, to a vault through a passage of debts so steep

11. NATIONAL VELVET -- A Place Called Hysteria -- Courage

The cool boys bit the dust
They couldn't stand the pressure

12. OINGO BOINGO -- Sweat -- Good For Your Soul
    (B/B/-)

They'll call a request at the Gipper's request

13. Oops!  Typo!  Should have been "recess at the Gipper's request".  I
    don't think it would have helped, anyway...
    TOM PAXTON -- We're Filling a Bottle For Ronnie -- Politics

Let me be the yeast inside your bread
Let me be the new thought inside your head

14. POI DOG PONDERING -- The Watermelon Song -- Wishing Like a Mountain and
         Thinking Like the Sea
    (BC/-/BC)

How can I turn the other cheek it's black and bruised and torn

15. THE POLICE -- O My God -- Synchronicity
    (AB/AB/AB)

If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire

16. JOHN PRINE -- Angel From Montgomery -- John Prine

It may not feel too good to you, but it's not hurting me

17. JUDY SMALL -- The IPD -- <hoping someone else could have clued me in>

Gonna catch me a train that's rollin' through and turn a trick or two

18. SPIRIT OF THE WEST -- Profiteers -- Labour Day

Avant-gardener, not a heretic

19. 3RD BASS -- Wordz of Wisdom -- The Cactus Album

Down the long narrow hall he was led

20. SUZANNE VEGA -- The Queen and the Soldier -- Suzanne Vega

B! A! C! K! IN! B! L! A! C! K!

21. WARLOCK PINCHERS -- Back in Black -- Amazing Kung-Fu Action
    Okay, so it's a remake of AC/DC, but the lyrics I quoted aren't used as
    such in the original.  I gave the points out anyway.
    (CDE/CDE/CDE)

More pickled weiners and a diet chocolate soda

22. WEIRD AL YANKOVIC -- Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota -- UHF

BONUS question (2 points):  What genre was my community radio show?

23. I did an alternative folk show.  So half points to The Dispossessed, who
    said "something alternative -- whatever that means".

Deep sigh.  I'll try and be easier on you next time.  Thanks for playing, and
if you had half as much . . . no, someone else's copped that line.
