Janis Ian- I know her two hits. Liked them both. From what I understand, At Seventeen was kind of autobiographical. I remember years later she was being interviewed on some radio program and mentioned that she was the "Ugly Duckling" not so much for her looks, but for her sexual preferences. Information Society- Don't know them Donnie Iris- Don't know him Iron Butterfly- I only know In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Love the album version, all 17 minutes of it, long drum solo and all. The 3 minute 45 kinda sux. Two rumors I've heard - don't know if either is true. 1) They REALLY wanted to sing "In The Garden Of Eden", but were drunk or stoned. (The rumor is not based on the Simpsons episode. I heard it long before that) 2). The group name IRON Butterfly is what gave birth to the term "Heavy Metal"' Iron Maiden- Heard of them, but not familiar with their music. Isley Brothers- You basically said it all, Sat. THEY did "Shout"; THEY did "Twist and Shout", and no one cares. Their Shout far outshines Joey Dee. I even like their Twist and Shout version better than the Beatles. Faves: Shout, Twist And Shout, This Old Heart of Mine Hey -- so now you've finished the "I"s and missed BOTH Frank Ifield and Burl Ives Still just kidding ;D I am here to offer additional confirmation on the "Garden of Eden"/"Gada-da-vida" story.... ("...But you know that I L-u-o-ve You-u")

Iron Butterfly: Did anyone mention that their drummer was the victim of an unsolved murder mystery? (It was even featured on that show)
For the longest time they had NO idea what had happened to him as the last word anyone had heard from him was a call via cell phone to his wife (I think) on his way home from work one evening....
They found him in his van underwater somewhere out here a few years ago...
I could be wrong, (Easily!), but as far as I remember the case remains unsolved. (Either that--or they determined he fell asleep at the wheel. *sigh* Both things seem "real" Oh well, maybe someone else will KNOW)
