Artist 4, Song 11--The Renegades, Cadillac?

Not them...

Tom_I · February 22, 2011, 08:17:00 AM

We get there slowly....

Artist 4 is an Australian garage band called the Hergs.

Song 11, "Cadillac" was the B-side of their 1967 single "Style of Love", and was a cover of Vince Taylor's twelve-bar blues song "Brand New Cadillac".

Nice job finding that one Tom! There are a LOT of songs called "Cadillac!"

Otto Puzzell · February 22, 2011, 09:40:35 AM

That's right!

Huzzah!

Aaron65 · February 22, 2011, 10:03:15 AM

I hope I didn't ask this already...does Song 5 have "Traffic" in it?

Otto Puzzell · February 22, 2011, 10:23:55 AM

The picture does..

The song title does not

Aaron65 · February 22, 2011, 05:02:33 PM

Hmmmmm. How about "Road?"

Aaron65 · February 25, 2011, 07:45:24 AM

Was artist #12 a '60s country/western artist?

Oguerrerob · February 25, 2011, 04:04:06 PM

Just to get it out of my head. Is the 1 Song: Always crashing in the same car (D Bowie) and related to Artist 10?

Not C&W, but a related genre

No David Bowie songs in this puzzle.

For song 5...

Otto Puzzell · March 03, 2011, 03:58:24 AM

No, but the title refers to a specific type of road.

Ray B. · March 03, 2011, 04:34:38 AM

Interstate?
(but I find a good dozen songs with the word in the title, and none of them seem to match the faces left in the artists pictures)

Otto Puzzell · March 03, 2011, 05:05:33 AM

Not Interstate, but you're on the right road. Indeed, some Interstate highways are this type of highway.

Aaron65 · March 03, 2011, 06:31:24 AM

Parkway?

Otto Puzzell · March 03, 2011, 02:38:12 PM

Not Parkway

Ray B. · March 03, 2011, 03:52:18 PM

Turnpike?

Also (sorry, you may have answered this earlier, but there are already 5 pages to search): ~~Is the word part of the title or does it appear only in the lyrics?~~

Oh, you did answer this...

Ray B. · March 03, 2011, 05:17:47 PM

Turnpike?

I find 105 songs (or covers) with turnpike in the title.

Ray B. · March 03, 2011, 05:18:14 PM

Freeway?

... And 298 with Freeway in the title...

Turnpike?

Yes!

Ray B. · March 03, 2011, 05:49:10 PM

Could Artist #10 be David Grisman, to be matched with Tune #5 Blackberry Turnpike ?

Otto Puzzell · March 04, 2011, 03:39:45 AM

Not him, and not that song. Can Grisman somehow be tied to David Bowie? Was he once a security guard?

I don't know if the Blackberry Turnpike actually exists.

The Turnpike in the song title in the puzzle is the turnpike pictured.

Tom_I · March 04, 2011, 06:37:46 AM

I'm still not quite sure where the picture comes from, but Artist 10 is Norman Carl Odam, better known as the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, or just "The Ledge". He links to Song 5, "New Jersey Turnpike".

David Bowie has said that the second name of his alter ego Ziggy Stardust was taken from the name of the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

Otto Puzzell · March 04, 2011, 06:45:01 AM

Now that wasn't so difficult, now was it?
