Thanks everyone for playing. Clayton correctly identified the songs as being groups with the same personnel. I noted that not all of them were "linear." like Clapton. (See the first 4.) I don't have explanations for all of them yet and hope to get them up as the week goes on ...

1) Paranoia strikes deep
For what it's worth - Buffalo Springfield
2) Signs in the street that say where you're going

Wheel in the Sky - Journey
This was kind of a surprise. I didn't realize that Journey started off as a "Super Group." I chose an early Journey song because that's when the personnel from Steve Miller and Santana were in the band.

12) Your insincerity, And me all starry-eyed
Only Time will Tell - Asia
Asia consisted of members of the 8, 9, 10 and 11. Unfortunately the guy who came from King Crimson was not there for Court of the Crimson King. That's why I chose a more obscure song.
