It's back.<\/p>\n
The theme this time is : The Rock Cycle<\/b> - redux.<\/p>\n
The name-that-tune part is the same as always: you get one point for identifying the song, and another point for identifying the artist. But, the theme adds a new twist.<\/p>\n The \"rock\" part is easy - though it's not all \"rock\", and I've gone about as obscure as I dare go, this time. The \"Cycle\" part is a bit more involved. Songwriting doesn't count. Production doesn't count. Family relations don't count. Being part of a touring band doesn't count. Sharing the stage one night at a benefit somewhere does not count.<\/p>\n As an example, assume you've identified these four songs, and now you need to find the connections:<\/p>\n Well, you can make a connection from Big Star to The Replacements because Alex Chilton of Big Star played on The Replacement's album \"Please To Meet Me\". And, you can make a connection from The Replacements to Guns And Roses because Tommy Stinson played bass in both bands. And finally, the guy Stinson replaced in GnR, Duff McKagan, went on to play in Jane's Addiction.<\/p>\n Got the idea? <\/p>\n Some of the connections are simple and obvious. Some are obscure. Just like the songs.<\/p>\n So, in addition to points for naming the song and artist, you will get one point if you can describe the connection from a song to the song that follows it. <\/p>\n You'll have to use your imagination for what to do on the last song.<\/p>\n Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n OK, so here are the songs:<\/p>\n Have at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OK. it's over.

\nHere's how it works. For each song in the list, the artist responsible for the song has a connection to the artist responsible for the next<\/em> song. \"Artist\" may be a member of a band, a solo artist, a guest musician, half of a duet, etc.. And the rules for a \"connection\" are simple. To make a connection between one song and the next, one of the following must be true:<\/p>\n\n
