I was completely stumped. If I'd gotten "spinning wheel" I wouldn't have known the band. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.#4: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Nov 10, 2011
I looked up the song, which I know. I just didn't know the title or band. :)#5: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Nov 10, 2011 [SPOILER]
i'm a little surprised you didn't know this one Kristen,your dad probably listened to them.David Clayton Thomas,was the lead singer,he has a very unusual voice and he is also a Canadian somewhat icon.This band was popular at the same time that Chicago was popular.#6: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Nov 10, 2011 [SPOILER]
i was thinking of Temptation by New Order.... 'up, down, turn around'. it's more my daughter's music though. Spinning Wheel is more my speed :)#7: j d (crazyteeth) on Nov 10, 2011
Helter Skelter/The Beatles.#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 10, 2011
when I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
the arrows are out of order, but i swear that the top right image looks like a slide from my ghetto childhood.
I can see that!#9: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 10, 2011 [SPOILER]

Baby's black ballon makes her fly,
I almost fell into that hole in your life
...Comin' down the world turned over...
Archie Bell & The Drells:
My balloon is going up
(My balloon is going up)...
I'm gonna try to meet the
kind of girl who can be trusted
And then I'll come back down to Earth
Cause my balloon will be busted"
Beastie Boys:
...Pop your balloon, pop-pop your balloon
Pop your balloon, pop-pop your balloon
Pop your balloon, pop-pop your balloon
Pop your balloon, pop-pop your balloon...
My dad was listening to a lot of cool jazz during this era. He had albums from Spyro Gyra, Chuck Mangione, and Ramsey Lewis. One of the neatest was Lewis' "Mother Nature's Son." He took 10 songs off the White Album and turned them into jazz instrumentals.#11: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Nov 10, 2011
this looked like a very strange sperm/egg rendition to me (smile)#12: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Nov 10, 2011 [SPOILER]
had no clue on the song/band from the image
LOVE BS&T! Chicago, too, both have great horns. I think my favorite BS&T tune is "When I Die," the syncopated bridge section is fantastic.#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Nov 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
Thx Joel,i love both bands too,and Lighthouse also.These 3 bands all had a jazz/rock fusion style.A lot of great music came from these bands.I started playing bass guitar in rock bands when i was 13yrs old,by the time i was 16,i was playing in a band that had a brass section(trumpet,sax,and trombone),we played a lot of music from these bands and it was the most exciting band i was ever in,except for the jug band,which was the ultimate.My favourite BS&T song was"God bless the child".:)
