  1. Three I did recognise:

    the Mama’s and the Papa’s
    the Eagles
    the Dead Kennedys

    And Three I don’t think I heard in there:

    Matthew Sweet
    Phantom Planet
    Rufus Wainwright

  2. The Beach Boys – California Girls
    T. Rex – Telegram Sam

  3. 2000 Man

    Teenage Head by Flamin’ Groovies, Dead Flowers by The Stones, My Old School by Steely Dan. I think we’ll wrap this one up without help!

  4. Led Zep
    Tom Petty

    “California Man,” Cheap Trick

  6. 2000 Man

    Let me correct myself now that I’m awake. Dead Flowers is not on there. it’s Sweet Virginia. I walked out singing it and halfway to where I was going I thought, “Did I write Dead flowers instead of Sweet Virginia?”

    I’d be drummed out of the Exile Mafia if I didn’t correct that!

    Thank GOD you corrected yourself, 2K. Word was just about to leak out:)

    Stay tuned for a day-long celebration of California rock!

    6 and 11 still hangin’ tough. And what about #4 there? C’mon!

  13. sammymaudlin

    Looks like we’re going to have to some hand holding soon. I’m shocked and awed that no one can nail #4 given that the band has been identified.

  14. meanstom

    Is number 4 from ‘The Song Remains the Same’?

  15. sammymaudlin

    It is not from Song Remains the Same.

  16. hrrundivbakshi

    “Going to California” — duh!

  17. 2000 Man

    Man, I really dislike Led Zeppelin but I’ll step up to the plate. Going to California by Led Zeppelin.
