What band am I thinking of? (#4)

[Phillycat]

Strawman kicked some ass on that last one, so I'm going to have to make this one tougher. Go ahead, ask away. I'm ready.

Previous answers (I will not repeat):

Guns n Roses
The Police
The Temptations

[gr8dane_daddy]

1. What decade?

[Phillycat]

2. 90's.

[gr8dane_daddy]

4. What genre?

[Phillycat]

6. I would call it "alternative rock"

[gr8dane_daddy]

8. Seattle based?

[Phillycat]

12. Nope.

[gr8dane_daddy]

11. Godsmack?

[Phillycat]

13. Ew. No.

[Strawman]

3. "Grunge"?

[Phillycat]

5. And I wouldn't necessarily classify them as having "hits" either.

But you've definitely heard of this band.

[Phillycat]

7. No. They went into the 00's, as well.

[Strawman]

9. Male or Female lead singer?

[Phillycat]

10. Male.

[Strawman]

14. Boston based?

[Phillycat]

15. Nope.

[gr8dane_daddy]

16. late or early nineties?

[Phillycat]

17. They formed in the early 90's, but I would say they had the bulk

of their success in the later 90's.

[gr8dane_daddy]

22. Soundgarden?

[Phillycat]

24. Nope.

[Strawman]

18. American?

[Phillycat]

19. Yes.

[edbermac]

20. If you're not thinking of the Beatles, then you're not thinking...

[Phillycat]

21. Heh. Nope. That's a cool picture though.

[chknltl]

23. Beastie Boys and...

...check your PM box when you have a moment please
c

[Phillycat]

25. Not Beastie Boys.

[chknltl]

34. I'll try Devo again

[Phillycat]

37. Nope. :)

[chknltl]

42. All Female? Kitty? (oops just saw male singer...my bad)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. Green Day?

[Phillycat]

28. Nope.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. Afghan Whigs?

[Phillycat]

46. DING DING DING DING DING!!!

Very, very good!! I thought this one would take much longer. How did you figure it out, if you don't mind me asking? Or was it a guess?

Anyway, here's the requisite stupid picture of me:



Now, NO MORE! Y'all have to wait until Tuesday! Patience is a virtue.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

49. Woo-hoo!

I'm actually a big fan of theirs, plus you mentioned they recently reunited, so that's how I figured it out.

And I love my prize!

[Strawman]

50. Good one. Excellent band

Saw them in the early nineties touring for Gentlemen. That was the last of their stuff I really know. Think I'm gonna download "Don't Forget the Alcohol" off of Itunes. That's a great song.

on Edit: The song I'm thinking of is Rebirth of the Cool. Looks like all they have on Itunes is some remix. Damn.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

51. I recommend Black Love and 1965 as well.

[Phillycat]

52. You must get 1965.

That album is simply SEX. Sex in a CD case. Yum. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live, but I would really like to.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

53. Have you heard The Twilight Singers?

Greg Dulli's side project -- I heard "Powder Burns" was very good.

[Phillycat]

54. I have not.

But I think I'll check it out. I love, love his voice. He is so freaking sexy.

[Strawman]

55. Great show. They even did a cover of Shiela Na Gig by PJ Harvey

Greg Dulli sounded great

[Phillycat]

56. Oh, that sucks.

Everyone's been complaining about how lame itunes' selection is. I am still uploading my damned collection, so I haven't had to deal with it yet. Not to mention the ex has 126 gigs on his external server that he is going to copy for me. Hopefully I'll never have to buy anything from itunes.

[Strawman]

27. Luna

[Phillycat]

29. Nope. Bigger than them, smaller than the other suggestions so far.

EDIT: Besides, didn't they have a female lead singer?

[Tyrone Slothrop]

30. Are they still together?

And, if not, have any members done solo work?

[Phillycat]

33. They broke up for a while and reunited recently.

And they have all done solo projects, not particularly successfully.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

35. The Pixies?

[Phillycat]

39. Nope. Love them, though!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

44. How 'bout Jane's Addiction?

And that's my final guess.

[Phillycat]

47. The answer is above.

Thanks for playing!

[Strawman]

31. More alternative or more rock?

[Phillycat]

36. That is a tough question. I really don't know how to answer that.

They are definitely a rock band. Does that help? I'm not trying to be obtuse, I'm just stuck.

[gr8dane_daddy]

32. Phish?

[Phillycat]

41. Nope. Not a hippie band.

[MrCoffee]

38. REM?

[Strawman]

43. Do they have a twangy sound?

[gr8dane_daddy]

45. Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Phillycat]

48. ANSWER ABOVE!

It was Afghan Whigs, correctly guessed by Starbucks Anarchist. Thanks all for playing! This is really fun. I hope you keep playing on these threads, it's more fun when more people do it. Now you really will have to wait 'til Tuesday! Have a great weekend, all. Happy new Year!
