Cryptic music quizz

[James Burns]

Hi,

Only three left to do on this. All answers are a band or an artist.
1)General is a featherweight 12 inches
2) No women or sisters in this band
3) Shilling for a roof tile manufacturer

Any help appreciated!

[THECORBYLOON]

1 is Gordon Lightfoot
2 sounds like Boyzone

Number 2 could be Brotherhood Of Man, perhaps.

[Stephen_G]

Number 2 could be The Allman Brothers Band.

You might not have heard of them, but their track "Jessica" is the Top Gear theme tune.

[nantyboy]

3 is Bob Marley

[lodgypops]

I had all those, but have yet to answer Ray is 1560 yards ahead - any ideas?

[indie_chick5]

Number 2 could be Bros?
