AB, I am giving you the next one. My brain hurts...

 

[NauticalGent]

Hooray. That one was meant to be easy....
Lyrics here

Reading the article reminds me of an AWESOME movie called "Pirate Radio"

Not bad Col and now I know the significance of the song.

 

[isladogs]

It had a brilliant cover as well...

I somehow suspect my second example in post 32 may be too obscure.
For info, late 1960s Scottish cult folk band who found Scientology and lost their audience soon after

 

[NauticalGent]

The Incredible String Band (Dr Google). Yeah dude, you got an eclectic taste in music!

 

[isladogs]

ISB - They were certainly not for everyone
Anyway - enough clues. Song title?

 

[AccessBlaster]

I'll pass, anyone else?

 

[Micron]

"The Half-Remarkable Question"

 

[isladogs]

Success - well done! Your turn Micron!

 

[Minty]

I thought mine was obscure

 

[isladogs]

I have plenty more obscure than that but like almost all so far, its obvious when you see the answer.

BTW does anyone have any knowledge of the reMarkable tablet?

 

[Micron]

Hmmm, so I'm not disqualified for Googling it? After I posted that I thought maybe I should not have. Not sure of the rules here.
I have one ready if it's my turn.

 

[isladogs]

Well NG got the band by googling with my clues so why not. Nobody was going to get it without assistance.
Go for it.

 

[Micron]

OK, I'll say it should be easy enough, but it's really only easy when you're the one posting the quiz.

Well, that was too easy. I guess musical taste is selective, but with over dozens of gold and platinum albums and a world wide following, I'm surprised you never heard of it.
IMO, Neil Peart was a fantastic lyricist (and a published book writer) and a local boy too.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren’t permanent –
But change is

Next time I'll try to dig a little deeper.

 

[isladogs]

??

 

[isladogs]

Sorry for having obscure musical tastes but AFAIK I've never heard any songs by Rush though I have heard of the band.

OK hopefully easier this time but I said that before...

Oh my, oh my...

Captain Beefheart
Big Eyed Beans From Venus

 

[isladogs]

Oh my, oh my.
