    I had the song first and my first thought for the group was Steel Breeze. They must have had an album out at the same time.

    Type of piano + infant return = [band/song]

    Player/Baby Come Back?

    Good tune
  • Ok, here's this:
    Thematic Equation (cubed) Game -
    1. I provide: 3 artists and/or groups
    2. You provide: The song for each artist/group that are connected by the same theme.
    I put them in the order of easiest to to hardest. #3 may be an acquired taste intended to bring you out of your comfort zone.
    #ThinkOutsideTheTrapezoid
    #GoodLuckAndNoWagering

    1. Van Morrison
    2. The Velvet Underground
    3. Regina Spektor

    I picked up (what I think are) the first two...but was unfamiliar with Mme Spektor ...til now (and thanks...some cool tracks)
    If this is correct it's cause I got by with a lil help from my SiliconValleybasedFriend (Google)
    1. Brown-Eyed Girl
    2. Pale-Blue Eyes
    3. Pale Blue Lips

    3. Pale Blue Lips

    The first 2 songs are correct but #3 is not. I'll wait a little to see if anyone else wants to take a crack at it.
    *Clue - All 3 songs contain the same word and #3 is from a live album
    #HopeThisHelps
  • #3: Silly Eye-Color Generalizations
    Theme: Eyes

    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and the Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    This 2 song Mashup from

    UFO + Pistoles y Flores

    would be a good Self-proclamation on the construction of either Shangri-La or OZ

    Well, seeing as how I've never even heard of two of the groups, this is going to be difficult to answer without a lot of research :/

    More Thematic Rock-quarries Queries.

    To complete this question you must name Title and artist for 1 and 2,
    AND
    Find the Artist hinted to in 3.


    1. This former 'Yo Mama..' bandmate may have sang these three words to dissolve that union.
    2. This Crossover artist's sang of Zephyr like movement.

    3. Run both of these songs through a strainer and This artist would sifted out

    That's what I was thinking with the first song but didn't quite connect all the dots with the second song.

    Doh! I knew that too! "Outside From The Redwoods" is a great concert DVD/VHS tape I have from Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald came out to the Redwoods to sing with Kenny. I also saw Christopher Cross in concert and have three of his CDs (Window is a later CD that is really good of you like him), but didn't put that together. There were lots of big name artists that performed with him on his first and second CDs.

    Here's a link for this crowd.

    http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/milli-vanilli-win-the-best-new-artist-grammy

    1990/02/22 - Milli Vanilli win the Best New Artist Grammy

    With the benefit of hindsight, there might be Grammy awards that members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences wish they could take back, but there is only one that they actually did: the Best New Artist Grammy that was awarded to the famously fraudulent dance act Milli Vanilli on February 22, 1990.

    The competition that night for the Best New Artist award included Neneh Cherry, whose album Raw Like Sushi had spawned the dance hit “Buffalo Stance”; Indigo Girls, whose eponymous debut included “Closer to Fine”; Soul II Soul, the group that absolutely dominated the British House Music scene; and Tone Lōc, whose novelty rap records “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” were both crossover pop smashes. But then there was Milli Vanilli, whose debut album Girl You Know It‘s True had sold 14 million units behind the success of five Top 5 singles that sold a cumulative total of 8 million units, including the #1 hits “Baby, Don’t Forget My Number,” “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You,” and “Blame It On The Rain.”

    That level of commercial success is not the kind of thing that Grammy voters—a notoriously industry-focused bunch—take lightly. Yes, there had been an Ashlee Simpson-like incident involving a jammed tape machine at a “live” concert the previous July, but it is fair to wonder whether those Grammy voters who hadn’t heard the murmured doubts about Milli Vanilli’s legitimacy would have cared one bit if they had. Academy members had, after all, nominated the Partridge Family for the very same award back in 1971. It was an open secret in the music industry that many hit records were made by musicians other than those whose faces graced album covers, but the Milli Vanilli deception crossed that hard-to-define line separating “standard industry practice” from “ethically outrageous behavior.”

    Or perhaps it was merely the very public way in which that deception came to light that forced the Academy to act. At a press conference on November 14, 1990, German record producer Frank Farian revealed that he had fraudulently put the names and faces of the gorgeous but talent-free Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan on the dance records he was creating in his studio using less esthetically gifted real musicians. Four days later, Milli Vanilli’s Grammy award was withdrawn, and Pilatus and Morvan began a well-documented descent into drug abuse and failed comebacks.

    I always come up with something amazing when it's not my turn and by the time it is my turn I've forgotten.

    With some liberties on the spelling of the female country/crossover singer.

    Barbie + apology / 9 + 2 + 5 = [artist/song]
