    (yes, I'll expect Titles and artists to be supplied
    • On this 21st night love was change the pretenders minds. Remember?
    • 3 seemingly unrelated facts: nothin' lasts forever, hearts can change, it's hard to hold a candle during this
    • There are reasons to believe that, maybe, the upcoming year will be better than the last year.

    Here are my guesses (2 out of 3 I think).

    - On this 21st night love was change the pretenders minds. Remember?
    Earth, Wind, and Fire - September

    - 3 seemingly unrelated facts: nothin' lasts forever, hearts can change, it's hard to hold a candle during this
    Guns n' Roses - November Rain

    - There are reasons to believe that, maybe, the upcoming year will be better than the last year.
    Foo Fighters - Next Year

    Wilson family band / Who knows? = [band/song]

    The Beach Boys/God Only Knows?
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,484 Member
    Correct.

    I was listening to an album/CD by California Project called Papa Doo Run Run. California Project included Mike Love (of the Beach Boys) and I think one of Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley (of America).

    They recorded the Beach Boys greatest hits on the Telarc label. It sounds so good re-recorded with more modern technology and some of the original talent. The sound is very faithful to the original records too.

    Rolling Stones + Terrence Trent Darby = ?

    deckerp Posts: 4,484 Member
    The only Darby song I remember is "Wishing Well". Does that help anyone?

    RunTimer Posts: 9,137 Member
    @deckerp, Nuh Uh

    It was a well played TTD song, but not a big one for the Stones..
    the songs share the same name, but not the same melody/lyrics (i.e., not a cover)

    anyone?
