Re: One quiz at a time
The question was which song, not the artist, because that was obviously you.

Re: One quiz at a time
Indeed, the question is which song; my clarifications that you can discount the artist and the personage are just bonus information.

I was intending to wait for a couple more guesses, but will provide a clue tomorrow if needed.Old Bridge wrote: ↑20:02 Tue 28 Mar 2017I know it is not my turn, but I wanted to tell you that your bonus information was absolutely no use.

Some good guesses. Time for a clue (or two):
- The song is from a well known album released during the 80s 70s; the group had several well known albums through the 70s and 80s.
- The person mentioned is real, not fictional.

Re: One quiz at a time
No, and not the Police or Sting for either person or artist. However, since your guess was following my slightly faulty clue (now corrected) I'm counting that guess void; feel free to guess again without waiting for others first, if you wish.Old Bridge wrote: ↑07:55 Wed 29 Mar 2017 Every Breath You Take, Police/Sting

Re: One quiz at a time
Is Axel mentioned in the song?
This is too big a topic to cover. Do you know that in 1979, 800 albums (reckoned as the best) were released?
I'll wait for more clues.

Does that reference a person? Not the Clash, anyway.
Edit: I see it mentions "Ivan". Person is not an Ivan.

Re: One quiz at a time
Vera. Album is The Wall, Pink Floyd. Vera Lynn.
Re: One quiz at a time
The double album clue was the clincher! Let's keep the music theme going.

That depends on your interests as a young man. In 1987 I would have bought Verdis Rigoletto - Wiener Philharmoniker- Giulini.
Seriously though, in London 1987 Bad, Michael Jackson.

I'm going with the Irish connection-Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous . And if it wasn't it should have been!
