[red dog 1]

(Feel free to include a hint or two)


"Why don't you open the door and let your soul through
Why don't you open the door to see what's real
Well if you open the door, you may become you
You'll know what you feel"

(This '60s San Francisco band is from Marin County and is still active)










Obscure Band Lyrics from Part 3:
https://democraticunderground.com/10182037766

[red dog 1]

1. "Other girls did it, you didn't think of nothin' new. You went out on me so other girls did it too"

[red dog 1]

2. "How can you steal a car, From such an unsuspecting cop? How could he make me run, a thousand blocks before he'd stop?"

[red dog 1]

3. "You treat me just like dirt, You have all the fun, I stay at home and hurt"

(Hint: Group is a trio)

[jmowreader]

4. "Some people say that life is good, give thanks for what you have...

...When all you have is nothin', nothin' makes you glad."

[VGNonly]

5. "I deal with dreamers and telephone screamers"

[VGNonly]

6. "And so on and so on and scooby, dooby do"

[Mad_Dem_X]

7. Everyday People

[VGNonly]

8. "Tax the rich, feed the poor

till there are no rich no more"

[Harker]

9. "I'd Love to Change the World." Ten Years After.

That was an evocative one.

[VGNonly]

11. That tune was different than the blues-rock boogie

that TYA usually played; being more melodic and lyric driven. Alvin Lee passed in 2013, drummer Ric Lee (no relation) and keyboardist Chic Churchill still perform with the band.

An Alvin Lee story was that he had the MNPM of any guitar player! (Most notes per minute)

[Harker]

12. He's still in the pantheon of fast, accurate players.

I remember getting a copy of "Cricklewood Green" from a record club as a kid.

[sakabatou]

10. "Escape from the sinking!"

[red dog 1]

13. "Boys are boys and girls are joys...To you and me they're more than toys

Gonna find one so I won't be lonely,
She'll be mine forever only"

[VGNonly]

14. "I've run down

I've been lied to".
