DudleyDude Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is my first riddle, so please be kind. Although I think it'll just be a one or two guesser, it was quite fun to make. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed your riddles. Spitting rhymes and dropping signs, He was the voice of his generation. One of four, need I say more - The cause of many a girl's excitation. Pushed the bounds, continued their sounds. We loved his orchestration. Florida born, MCA scorned. He's a heartbreaking sensation. His sweet voice, that perfect voice Will be missed by the whole nation. These five men, together "again" Produced a compilation. Name the men and the band they're in And enjoy some riddle solving jubilation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 May have made a connectionBrian Wilson? (the only Beach Boy I know by name) No, but that isn't terribly far off for the 2nd couplet not from the Beach Boys. But definitely the right era.

0 plainglazed Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Bingo I imagine the rest will fall quickly now Yeah, I think I got this one. Not my field of expertise so initally was thinking I was out of luck. Bob Dylan, George Harrison (not good vibrations), pass, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison all of the Traveling Wilburys. Dang, who am I forgetting? Maybe it will come to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, all guess are correct is definitely the "least famous" of them all. His band was quite popular but most people didn't know his name. I'll wait a few minutes and if you or someone doesn't get it I'll go ahead and post it. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
