    Nice start.

    I had actually considered each of the Top 4 answers here, but at the end of the day, always gotta go with Marilyn.

    I can't believe John Deacon and John Paul Jones only got 1 each and that Lemmy got 3.

    By the way, Ronnie Wood and James Taylor (if it is the singer/songwriter) are not bassists!

    You might say sheep are Collin to the Moon while bubblypop may as well have named Tim Allen. *chuckles quietly at own cleverness*

    Damn. Thought John Bonham would've been much higher.

    In my defence he (Ronnie Wood) is a bass player, he just happens to play guitar more frequently. (I may have forgotten that Bill Wyman existed :o But he wouldn't have scored any better as it turns out)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Maz does it again. Gandhi isn't on the cover but no wrong answers in sheep.

    You could say Strawberry Milkshake's chances have gone south rather than West whilst it's the fall of the house of Necro.
