h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In Addition to whats already been posted, here are the results of 15 minutes brain racking:

Jackson 5

10,000 Maniacs (Kristin Hersh's former band)

JJ72

2Unlimited (shockingly bad Dutch (?) dance band who recorded the execrable "No Limits")

1000 Clowns

Sister2Sister

Sixpence none the richer

Nine inch nails

Buck-O-Nine

Blink 182

B-52's (Love Shack baby yeah!)

3 colours red

The crypt kicker 5 (bit of a cheat that, they are mentioned in one of the verses of the monster mash as being a backing group!!)

10cc (Thanks Hebe for that one!)

and finally, and not leastedly,


Sclub7

I'll get me coat

Perseus

Oooops 10000 Maniacs, I was 9000 maniacs short....



Bassman

Has anyone mentioned 3T, the dreadful soul group made up of Michael Jackson's nephews?

I reckon someone should start a thread in "ask the H2G2 Community" about the American Pie Question...
From what I know, It was the plane...
But I won't count that because it doesn't have a proper answer...

At the moment, I think Bassman is in the lead with the Band Number Question (I'll have to check, though...)

anyway, next question...

Name one strange thing about Pink Floyds album "Dark Side of the Moon"

By 'Strange', I don't mean as in the music...
*Hint* 'Timing'

Is it something to do with playing alongside The Wizard of Oz?

Apparently it really works well as an alternative soundtrack, although I admit I've never actually tried it....

OK, the tally so far for the weekly question...
Perseus : 15
Bassman : 10
Ott Fisch : 10
Compo : 4

Have we had Energy 52?

I don't think Energy 52 has been said...
We've had the B-52's though...

Yep, you're right about the wizard of Oz...

Lyric: "She runs to the street and she screams... "

(and another question)

Who was "Born in the U.S.A.?"

Any number of people, but particulaly Bruce Springsteen.

Apparently not everyone realises that this is a protest song....

Bruce Springsteen?

P

Reel 2 real
2wo Third3

Sum 41

The Three Degrees
The Three Tenors (!)

Fun Boy Three
Five
Sixpence none the richer
Two guys a bass and a drum machine (or whatever they were called...)

Apologies if any have turned up before...

I said 3T yesterday, but don't seem to have been given a point for it.

*glares at Justin*

Have we had the Bobby Fuller Four?
