To enter, you must post the members of three musical acts. Dopers will have to guess what band the people were in. For example if I posted:

George Cummings  
Dennis Locorriere  
Ray Sawyer  
Billy Francis

You would be correct if you guessed Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. (or even Dr Hook AFAIC)  
As a bonus, you get five points for guessing the age of the Poster within 3 yrs.

One point for naming the band, three for the age of the Poster. On integrity, no google or wiki searches.

The first one will be easy.

1). Glenn Frey  
Bernie Leadon  
Randy Meisner  
Don Henley

2).Bret Michaels  
Matt Smith  
Bobby Dall  
Rikki Rockett

3).Roger Waters  
Nick Mason  
Syd Barrett  
David Gilmour

1. Fugazi is right, and **Twickster** got The Band. The second one (which I thought would be the easiest) is still up in the air. 4 points for **HongKongFooey** and 1 for **Twicks**.

1.) Michael Stipe, Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills  
[/QUOTE]

I’m afraid I just know this one from your three bands. It is of course, R.E.M. And for your age, I will guess 36

For mine:

1.) Scott Weiland, Eric Kretz, Robert DeLeo, Dean DeLeo

2.) Josh Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Joey Castillo, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman (I think that’s the current line-up. This band has gone thru so many line-up changes, it’s not even funny)

3.) Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross, Myles Heskett

Unless you’re lying, SSG, your age is in your profile…
