Uriah Heep
English band: Uriah Heep
American band: Vanilla Fudge
Looks like BrerRabbit gets this one.
Improvisational prog rock, acid jazz, space rock, this group has always defied description. Formed in Paris in 1967 by a former member of Soft Machine - numerous line-ups, still performing. During the late 70s early 80s they had a nomadic following in Europe, similar to the American "Deadhead" phenomenon.
It was difficult to come up with a clue, the wiki on this group is endless, gotta be a great book
written or could be on them.
Great sound btw, if you are in explore mode check em out!
Jeez Brer, is it Gong?
You're making me think of Steve Hillage or Ozric Tentacles.
Yes, Gong. Pretty sure Steve Hillage played with them at some point. Gong is strange - it has been several very different sounding groups. Lineup changes it just moves on. Would have been fun following em around Europe to the summer festivals, I know zero about the Euro hippie era.
Minneapolis band famous for their 1980s stuff. They in the studio were playing a ragged, drunken version of "Like A Rolling Stone" that they changed to "Like A Rolling Pin," not realizing that Bob was actually at the studio at the same time and listening to their hijinks.
The Replacements !
Brer with the win!!
Two million years from now if you are hangin out near Aldebaran you could score the ultimate collectible rocknroll memento of this artist.
Elvis?
Would the souvenir be the Golden Record aboard the Voyager spacecraft, including tunes by Chuck Berry and Blind Willie Johnson?
Yes you got it

Looks like I was incorrect, it is Pioneer 10 that will be near Aldebaran. Voyager 1 won't be getting near any stars any time soon other than TYC 3135-52-1 in 300,000 years. I hope nobody dialed up their one way time drive before they read this correction.
However you can catch up to the Golden Record in the Oort Cloud in 300 years, worth a try.

These two blues artists were friendly rivals and were both named after US presidents at birth, but later they changed their names. Name the artists, their birth names and the US presidents they were named after at birth.
Yeah, I think Pioneer 10 got zapped by the Klingons! They didn't like the nudey pictures on the plaque.

Howlin Wolf - Chester Arthur Burnett - Chester A. Arthur
We have a winner!
very impressive
Haha you will tear off my stripes for this one
Among its other notable contributions to popular culture, this band's biggest hit was playing on the jukebox in the bar scene of a movie - (no not THAT jukebox, not THAT infernal movie!)
Robin Ramzinski (Randy "The Ram" Robinson) and Cassidy (an aging stripper) sing along - then Randy explains to Cassidy that he loves the 80s, but the 90's sucked, because "that pussy Cobain came along."
Name the band on the jukebox.

Was it Ratt, Round and Round?
Wow, yes thats the group - Gotta say, knowing that answer is not necessarily a good thing. Thought for sure nobody here except maybe Canadian Mule was enough of a rocknroll bottom feeder to get that. Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei in the 2008 film "The Wrestler".

A current thread title sung by a fairly well known username here.
Pretty easy, I know but thought it was pretty cool.

Too easy

Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider?
You got it.
This blues guitarist was known as "The King of Ragtime Guitar". Decades after his mysterious death, his song about an aggressive dog named "Rambler" was covered by dozens of artists, including Ry Cooder, Jorma Kaukonen and Leon Redbone. Name the artist.
Purely a guess...Robert Johnson?
Good guess, but no cigar...
Blind Blake
the song is Police Dog Blues
(which I learned from the quantantine concerts is in the key of E)
