    What have they done?

    A silly little game:

    Post something not Prog that has a Prog relevance. The first to get it right posts something again.. (and so on)


    So what has this to do with Prog???

    No one giving it a try.

    Some small hint: It's about the lady in red (her full given name is Roselyne)

    Would it be possible to get it without knowing who Rose and Willy are?

    Unless the answer is "Clap"?

    Yeep. I checked it, the most simple Google search will bring up at least 4 correct solutions at the top.
    (so you don't need to know anything about them)

    So... is "Clap" the answer, or not?

    But somebody should be able to guess this, not use Google? Is it necessary to watch the video to guess it?

    Of course. Look what we have: we have two obviously French vocalists. I already gave away that it is Roselyn I am looking for.
    So how many french Progressive Rock bands have (or had) a vocalist called Roselyn?

    This is too cryptic for me. I think I'll stick to the GCHQ grid-shading puzzle - seems simpler.

    Is it the same Roselyn?

    Honestly, I'm sure lots of PE members are likely to know this, though I don't, but no one seems to be coming forward.

    I still think "Clap" would have been a good answer!

    Yes she is, her band is long gone, now she does Pop/Chanson stuff.

    I would love to know how you came up with "Clap", which by the way has one letter more that the correct answer.

    Well, I watched the video, and I saw that she was clapping, and I thought "Ah, the answer is Clap, the song from The Yes album."

    Cool, but that is about a hundred times more complicated than the answer I'm looking for.... (wich is either a river or nothing at all)

    I know the answer now, having done a search, which was not as simple as you suggested. Remember that the Google search engine does not simply search based on the words entered into the search bar; it also takes into account your search history and your location.

    Anyway, I have one ready to go, but since I believe Dana5140 got the answer it's her turn to supply a puzzle.

    She just choosed the wrong band from a DVD featuring only two bands..

    Of course you are right about Google, but I got 7500 hits with about 1/3 of them about the right topic....

    Entering just "Roselyn" in the search field in PA would have solved it also...

    I really didn't know one of the people in the YouTube video was actually involved in Prog somehow - I thought the whole video was just some conceptual clue. The instructions were pretty unclear.

    OK, what's the prog connection here?

    Elton_John_-_Don't_Shoot_Me_I'm_Only_the_Piano_Player.jpg

    Clue: The answer has nothing to do with Elton John.
