Thread: Pick the odd one out

  1. #51
    So far nobody's got mine. I'll toss in a clue: it has to do with membership.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Mister Sturgeon :

    I'm going to take a guess here - with my BS&T knowledge being 'none'!

    Is it possible that Chicago is the only one of the bunch that does not have band members who are 'of a color Black' ??

    That invalidates my guess, which was going to be that BS&T were the only ones whose self-titled album was not their first.

    BS&T is the only one that contains no original members?

    They do still have Bobby Colomby, though, who was the original drummer and continues to be involved as a manager and in their musical direction. Which might count and might not.

    Or, more to the point, are (with the exception of the brief tenure of Laudir de Olivera) all white.

    Name the odd one out:

    Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion, Porcupine Tree.

    It's not about the music.

    Yes has only one syllable in its name

    Seriously? Pocupine Tree is the only one with its original lead vocalist...

    With the exception of Genesis all of them were founded north of the Thames in London or in the Home Counties north and northwest of London. Genesis was founded in the county of Surrey south of London.

    I don't think you can really say that, since Pink Floyd and Genesis are both non-going concerns, and the same is probably true for Porcupine Tree.
    You COULD say that PT are the only ones who never changed their lead vocalist... but that's not the answer I am looking for.

    Well, I dare say that's true...

    One could probably also pick a meridian of longitude and say all but one were formed east of that meridian. But no, it's something a little more obvious than that. Think about the identities of the band members.

    Marillion is the only one that started out with a different band name Silmarillion...or that had a Scottish singer.

    Yes has no original members?

    Porcupine Tree is the only one that originally formed post-'70s.

    Wow, people are struggling with this one.

    Lots of technically correct answers given so far, but...

    With these "odd one out" quizzes, generally all except one of the items have something in common that is somewhat unusual or coincidental, perhaps very unusual.

    So, if four of the bands formed north of the Thames, I'd say that's not especially unusual or noteworthy.

    If all except one were formed in Hemel Hempstead, then that would be highly noteworthy.

    So in this case, four of the bands have something in common which a lot of bands (probably the majority) don't, and which the fifth one doesn't.

    Does it have something to do with band composition and who does or plays what?
    All the members of four of the bands have released solo albums? And at I guess I'd say that not all the members of Marillion have released solo albums.

    Nothing to do with the music or who plays what. It's only to do with who is/was in the band.

    PT has an Aussie
    Marillion has a Paddy
    Genesis ended with a Yank
    Yes has had Yanks

    Pink Floyd is the only band that only had Brits in it.

    A good attempt.

    Think I need to put you all out of your misery herre:

    Pink Floyd is the answer. They are the only one who have not had a Steve or Steven.

    There's one guy who worked with each of them at some point, except for one of the bands.

    or

    All of them have been raped by a current, past, or future affiliate of the Warner Music Group except for...oh, wait it's happened to all of them.

    ^^ Never heard of half of those.

    This does, however, give me an idea for a different game, which I might describe later after a good night's sleep.

    A side-long piece of music. I actually hope I'm wrong...

    Is it that all the bands in group A have self-titled albums, while group B don't?
