Like their music, but damn if I know anything abut them. Alan Parsons?  Maybe? Am I right about that?

 

Anyway as a placeholder, most popular single by sales, and the runner up.

 

Why Thebes I do believe the song is "White Christmas".

Ironic that a brit would take the name of an American Revolutionary hero.

John Paul Jones...the "American Revolutionary War Hero"...actually died and was buried in Paris...a couple of years after he retired to Paris...after serving as a rear admiral in the Imperial Russian Navy for a number of years.  The U.S. Department of State was encouraged by the U.S. Department of the Navy to convince the French to exhume his remains and return them to the USA for eventual interment in his mausoleum at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.

Try this:

 

What band did Greg Lake play in before leaving to form Emerson, Lake & Palmer?

 

 

King Crimson. He played bass and sang on their first album (In the Court of the Crimson King) but only sang on their second (In the Wake of Poseidon). Peter Giles played bass on that one. (I know, TMI.)

Ok, I got a good one.  Try to not use Google.  The question is, what music video and probably song was inspired by the story that this passage is in?

 

 

A sharp twinge of panic shot through him when he realized which of his songs it was. Cold sweat seeped
out of his pores and dread consumed him. His vision spiraled as reality distorted. Breathing became
difficult, complicated. Desperation attacked and twisted every muscle in his thin body. Much worse than
the pain was his fear. Unsuppressable anxiety swept through him as he started toward the stereo.
Everything lost its natural texture; the walls, the floor, the air became surreal. The louder the music, the
more difficult he found it to move. He had to remove the compact disc but his feet felt like large concrete
blocks. He couldn’t move fast enough. She already had the pistol’s barrel against her temple.
