    BOC, if those lyrics are from a Guess Who song, I'm drawing a total blank. Which is pretty embarrassing, since they're from my home town. I've reviewd the lyrics from their two 1973 releases, and couldn't find your lyrics. I've even Googled just the lyrics posted, and nothing relevant comes up.

    @T2 - you're correct; they actually had a few hits prior, but American Woman really put them on the map.

    Splunge, they are indeed Guess Who, "Rock and roller steam" from "Artificial Paradise" album. I've just put the record on the turntable and listened to the song and checked the lyric sheet too, these lines are there. Anyway, since T2Bruno was the one, who got the band right first, he may continue.

    Well, I don't have that album, and I don't think I even know that particular song.

    When I googled the lyrics to Rock and Roller Steam, those particular lyrics never came up anywhere. As a last resort, I went to Amazon.com, and listened to the 30 second sample they have; wouldn't you know it - the sample contained the very lyrics you quoted. So I guess I can't accuse you of lying. :p Weird that none of the lyrics sites seem to have it, though.

    Anyway, since you've turned it over to T2, he's up.

    Holy Crap! I didn't expect to go. I only caught on to your second hint though. Good selection.

    Choke on a lie, even though he's the one who did this to you, you never thought to question why


    I am pretty sure that the Splunge/dmc show is over with this one (i.e., it's not '80's rock, Rush or Led Zep).

    Hmmm. Hintage - band is a "supergroup", which apparently means that many of its members (at one time or another) were/are parts of other successful bands.

    The song is off the first album and was their best-known song to date.

    Another lyric, which should give it away:

    It's not like you killed someone
    It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
    Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed

    He did it all for you...

    Oh, I know this one. It's the song by that group made up of Geddy Lee, David Gilmour, Ringo Starr and Tom Jones.

    Can't think of the name of the song or the group, though.

    Various past/present members of the band are or were members of the following bands: Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Primus, The Vandals, Queens of the Stone Age, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails.

    The band isn't doing much now and may never reform.

    Wow. I really didn't think this was going to be a stumper. The band is A Perfect Circle. The song is Judith. Maynard from Tool is the singer, so it's pretty easy to recognize his voice. Good song.

    Wow, dmc, you sure know how to kill a thread. Quit pretending that you're "hip" and "with it", and stick to the old fogey music (which is the only stuff that really counts anyway :geezer: ) :p
