There are plenty of British comic book heroes, Dan Dare comes to
mind, but I can't think of any musical types with that name.
Maybe Modesty Blaise?  Maxwell the Magic Cat?  >8)

On the right track brighn!
This singer used TinTin as his middle name.

Gee, thanks...
If only that helped.  :-)
Any more clues?

I have both BL releases. Maybe I'll go check the liner notes.

Maybe we need a BNL item!

but that doesn't answer the question! and I don't have a clue!

I, the ultimate Duran fan would know this!  Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy.  You might
remember his hit "Kiss Me" or "Icing on the Cake"?????  Hmmm...next question...
This British group maintains a huge cult following worldwide while still
recording with a new lead singer.  Their original lead singer, named after an
animal, now has a solo career.  They had only one really big hit in the US in
the 80s. (Hint:  it was a woman's name)  Additional hints:  They opened for
Rush once  upon a time...the lead singer is sometimes confused with a currently
popular" grunge" group.  I hope you all can get this one!

Aaaaagh!  I'm stumped, and probably shouldn't be.  The only Brit with an
animal name and a solo career is -- ork, ork -- Seal, but I haven't the 
foggiest what group he might've been in.  Maybe UB40?

response 136 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 7 04:26 UTC 1994

No, not Seal, sorry.  Actually I may have made this too difficult???  But I
can't think of any other clue to give you.  Keep thinkin'!!!

response 137 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 7 06:11 UTC 1994

Nope, no ideas.  Give us a song title or something!

response 138 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 9 06:51 UTC 1994

British... and I don't know my Brits from my Yanks! argh!

Cat Stevens? wrong years. Snoop Doggy Dogg? wrong continent.
Smokey Robinson? I think the bear came after. hmm... I'll
probably never figure out the singer, but since we're supposed
to guess the name of the group anyway, I'll take a stab in the
dark and guess... Gene Loves Jezebel.

I'm giving Kimba two more days to give us a clue, then starting anothyer
trivia question.

response 140 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 10 10:04 UTC 1994

(sayeth who'sy? you haven't even ventured a guess!)
brighn
response 141 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 10 20:30 UTC 1994

(Yes, I did -- it was wrong.  I can't go about guessing wrong, now can I?
Seriously, I don't know of anyone who fits the clues, and Seal was my only
kind of guess.)

The Fall matches a little, too.

response 142 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 15 08:02 UTC 1994

Marillion is th group...
Apologize for kimba not being on in a while!
Next question is up for grabs!

I have a dozen of them, but maybe I should let someone else take it...
Anyone?  Anyone?
Buehler?

<sigh>

these five young men from Boston were discovered singing for money
on the docks. name the original lead singer.

Peter Wolf?
brighn
response 146 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 16 23:33 UTC 1994

David Lee Roth?  :-)
<brighn is truly stumped again>
carson
response 147 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 17 17:28 UTC 1994

nope, not Peter Wolf, not David Lee Roth.

here's another hint: their breakthrough hit was a song
written and produced by Ray Parker Jr., of "Ghostbusters"
fame.

response 148 of 159: Mark Unseen   Nov 18 03:13 UTC 1994

Brighn's Stab-of-the-day (tm):  The Time.

Could the band be _The Del Fuegos_? (They're an 80s band from Boston
anyway ... I think).
