We haven't played this game in a while...I can't take credit for this one. It comes from XM radio's Fred station. They've got a show, "Six Degrees of Fred" that does these sorts of things.
The connections can be band members, producers, engineers, songwriters, appearances on the same compiliation, or guest performers on the album. I'll give you all seven steps...fill in what you can! I knew steps 2-5, but not 1-2 or 5-6-7. 1. The Waterboys-Fisherman's Blues 2. Prefab Sprout-Appetite 3. Thomas Dolby-Hyperactive! 4. Lene Lovich-New Toy 5. Nina Hagen-Don't Kill the Animals 6. Howard Jones- Get To Know You Well 7. The Fixx-Outside |

Sorry for the double post...here's another set of them, for those who are more rock than new wave:
1. New Order: Confusion 2. Debbie Harry: Bike Boy 3. The Cult: Love Removal Machine 4. Poe: Trigger Happy Jack 5. Social Distortion: Bad Luck 6. Danzig: Mother 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Give It Away 8. Jane's Addiction: Idiots Rule I knew 1-2, 3-4, 5-6-7-8. |

Since these two posts haven't gotten any love, I thought I'd post the answers, if anyone cares. Dave Ruffy played drums on 1 and 2. Tom Dolby produced 2 and sang 3. "New Toy" is a cover of a Dolby song. #5 features duet vocals between Lovich and Hagen. 5 and 6 both appear on the same PETA compilation. Howard Jones, singer of 6, produced the Fixx. |

Answers: 1 and 2 were produced by Arthur Baker. 2 and 3 both feature vocals by Ian Astbury. 3 and 4 feature drums by Matt Sorum. 4 and 5 were both produced by Dave Jerden. 5 and 6 have drumming by Chuck Biscuits. 6 and 7 were both produced by Rick Rubin and appeared on Def American. 7 and 8 feature Flea: as bassist on 7 and playing the trumpet on 8. |

How did this game get buried? It sounds fun.
Here's one: Traveling Wilburys to Elliot Smith - three (four if you count hopping from a person in one band to another in the same band) steps. ☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺ Go Liminal State Bobcats! |

Hey Sinister, one way to link the Traveling Wilburys and Elliott Smith in one step is that Elliott Smith recorded at Abbey Road and so too did George Harrison. I guess that's sort of lame, but what was the actual answer?
Also, the "Thoughts on Songs" Thread had me thinking. I think this thread died because it is a bit difficult. I propose we simplify things a bit. Just pick two musical items. It can be two songs, two albums, two bands, two soundtracks, etc. And the next poster has to guess what the common thread is between the two. I'll go first with an easy one: "Candy" by Iggy Pop and "Me In Honey" by REM _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees. "This is my main concern with Obama; what if he has been groomed since childhood to blend in with the zionists and infidels? What if he has been led along by a radical islamic terrorist organization and positioned to become an influential politician? What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob |

Both feature Kate Pierson of the B-52s on vocals.

Each song written by the other, good one!

In the interest of keeping this thread alive:

Just for the record, I think it's okay to use outside resources for this game (unlike the guess the song thread). Some of them wont be painfully obvious.

Well, in that case, the answer is Jimmy Page played guitar on both tracks as a session musician. I had to do some homework on that. Not even Wikipedia could help me.
Otis Redding and Britney Spears P.S. The answer is not that they both dated K-Fed. ----- We were wasps with new wings, now we're bugs in the jar. |

They both covered the Rolling Stone's "Satisfaction."

Probably my favorite producer: Todd Rundgren handled both of those albums.

Both have been married to Victoria Williams (Olson still is, as far as I know).
Willie Nelson and Charles Manson |

I spent way too much time figuring this one out, but this is what I came up with (thanks to your hint!): 1. "Handle with Care" is a song by Traveling Wilburys. 2. Which was covered by Jenny Lewis with Ben Gibbard on vocals. 3. Ben Gibbard's side project the Postal Service remixed "Do You Realize??" by the Flaming Lips on the Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell EP. 4. Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips played drums on Elliott Smith's final album, From A Basement on the Hill I don't know if that's how you got there-- I'm not sure how to do it in three moves. _____________________________ Weep to Water the Trees.
