    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.... :D
