Pendulum
the only band I haven't heard

You're not missing much - but the answer is not Pendulum.

Think. Why have AC/DC been in the news recently?

[Music Head]

well then I'm the odd one out

[CRAZY-HORSE]

my answers are in "bold" text.

1. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Who, AC/DC, Pendulum.

because the other bands kept their original vocalist/vocalists throughout their career
and AC/DC have now had three...??

2. Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia.

because theres never been a band come from Antarctica??


3. Y[B]es, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Porcupine Tree.[/B]

I say you've made a mistake, theyre all the same....theyre all overrated???

4. The Kinks, Heart, Blur, Oasis, Van Halen.

the other four bands had siblings??

back to the original post by bob_32,

we did have a sort of guessing game a year or so ago...
Music Head started it by playing his cds alphabetically, and we had to guess a particular artist starting with a particular letter
Music Head made it all the way up to his "P" artist list...
I sort of joined in after a while so MH could be part of the guessing process and I made it up to my "H" artist cds.
it sort of stopped when I had to move house and everything got packed away, and because its not a permanent move most of
my cds remain packed...

heres a couple of examples of the threads we had running:

Music Head's "M" cds: http://www.music-discussion.com/showthre...=crazy%27s

Crazy's "B" cds: http://www.music-discussion.com/showthre...=crazy%27s

You got No. 4 correct, CH.

The others remain unsolved. I guess some clues are required - see the edited OP.

I'll give you about another day before I post the answers.

1. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Who, AC/DC, Pendulum.

ok, I may be way off again but Brian Johnson(ac/dc), is almost deaf, Townshend (is almost deaf),
im thinking Brian Wilson(bb's) has hearing problems also, and Pendulum are a metal band from here in Perth,
wouldn't surprise me of one o them had hearing problems also,
whereby, Beatles members hearing is/was okay?

Looks like a fun game for the participants, but a lot of work for the instigator.

Maybe I'll try a cut-down version at some point: "guess the artist" or "guess the album".

Not way off at all. That's correct.

Rob Swire, from Pendulum, temporarily lost all the hearing in his left ear, apparently as a result of "vaping". Other such cases have been documented. Musicians might be well advised to avoid e-cigarettes.

ok, a stab in the dark this time, "Africa" is the only one that hasn't been the title of an album

No, but you're kind of on the right track.
