Cesar Inca - I see why you are a collaborator!

I'm not worthy! I guess you found it easy!

Your answer for 13 is close but no cigar (trick question).  15 is wrong.  I'll give you 20 - Gabriel wanted no metallic percussion - cymbals, chimes, tamborine, triangle, etc..  22 is wrong (another trick question).  23 is wrong.  You didn't answer 24.

My hat's off to you sir - well done!

If 22 is wrong, then it's because The Lamb also features brothers in its storyline - the characters Rael and John are brothers.

YYZ has NO LYRICS!!

I don't know the answer to the Jon Anderson question, and I can't see the trick in the Supertramp dilemma. I've done my best!! Thanks for your congrats!!

I was under the impression that Alan White was the John Lennon Band's drummer before being recruited by Yes

18) On Steve Allen’s TV show (U.S. - 1960's) what "Concerto" did Frank Zappa perform?

19) Who was little Carl?

The "Indian of the band" on "We're Only In It For The Money"??????

21) During the production of what album did Eddie Offord cut a final master mix quarter-inch tape with a razor blade?

Nothing unusual about tape editing with razor blades - standard modis operandi, pre-digital editing suites. Many those wonderful pre-80's drum-phasing effects on record, relied on such editing methods.

23) What RUSH song does the lyric mentioned in Question 15 summarize the theme of?

That song of Anglo-Canadian political relationships - about oaks and maples.
