Oh dear. I could be entering a “what sort of alien is Mr Spock” scenario here.

Definitely the first band to do it. I genuinely don’t know if anybody has repeated said feat, or bettered them.

A bit like the quiche I had earlier. No harm done though.

Still a decent pub quiz question as “first band to…”, even if it’s been bettered. Which I’m not sure it has. If it has, it’s most likely by a producer with guest vocalists - Calvin Harris or Clean Bandit (as mentioned upthread) probably have by now.

You’re saying Spock was overweight as a child? Because Discovery hasn’t made that canon.

Time Stand Still. Great song. Other than the odd bit of spoken word on the early stuff (possibly Neil or producer Terry Brown on Caress of Steel for example) it’s pretty much all Geddy.

I’m really annoyed because I thought of 10cc and then decided it was wrong.

On a related note, how the fuck does Dreadlock Holiday still get played on the radio?

It’s based on his experiences of visiting the Caribbean, and it’s not really offensive.

It includes repeated reference to a ‘dark voice’ and every character mentioned is a criminal of some sort.
