Musical Connections

Grid.

Similar to the movies/actors thread, in this game, a song is posted and then the next person has to post a song that has a connection to the last and state that connection. The connection can be anything you want really, a connection in the song name or artist name, a connection in the lyrics etc.

For example:

The Chain - Fleetwood Mac

Next post:

Rooms On Fire - Stevie Nicks (Member Of Fleetwood Mac)

etc.....

Thanks Grid,

My fault for the confusion - I don't think Genesis covered that song at all. I forgot to put the artist of the song, what with my multiple 'links' :pac:

Link was Phil was in Genesis, and then I confused myself

Slinks off for a while....

Grid.

That's allowed....keep up the good work!;):)
