You can't mean Kilroy Was Here by Styx can you? I'm going to have to have a quick listen to refresh my memory.

Heavy Metal Poisoning? In that song there are two sets of backwards lyrics:
murolceS odrO suvoN sitpeoC tiunnA
Annuit Coeptis Novus Ordo Seclorum
sterces eht sdloh nataS
Satan holds the secrets

I can mean it, and I do. It's been years since I've heard the album, but IIRC, the backwards message comes right before "Heavy Metal Poisoning." The phrase is "Annuit Coeptus, Novus Ordo Seclorum," which, as I understand, translates as "He [God] smiles, a new order is coming." Take that, you nasty, right-wing zealots!  Your turn, LL!

You must be looking on a lyrics sheet to make sense of it.
Is "Satan holds the secret" at the same place, or does it come later in the song?

Actually it is two different phrases often mistaken as one. Annuit Coeptis means "He has smiled on our undertakings" and Novus ordo seclorum mean "New order of the ages". And I think everyone should have to listen to that album. Right now!  Next question: Who is the only member of Yes to appear on all of their albums?

Satan holds the secret comes after the second round of the chorus: I'm Dr. Righteous (I'm Dr. Righteous), and I'm here to sing (yeah!) That heavy metal (heavy metal) is poisoning It's a music wasteland, that destroys the young (yeah!) They're overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs And rock and roll!

Chris Squire, bassist. No fair answering my question when I'm still answering yours! And you are, of course, correct. The only album that Jon Anderson didn't do the vocals on, IIRC, was Drama.

The song says, "Early morning, April 4, Shot rings out in the Memphis sky". It was early evening (around 6 pm local time I think) that King was shot.

Okay, this is probably as easy as my last one but here goes:
Which member of Pink Floyd has appeared on all of their albums?

I'm going to be going home shortly (I hope!!), and then out to eat. So I hereby pass my turn to whoever wants it.

Since no one has stepped forward to take my turn, I hereby reclaim it.
One of the clues that "Paul Is Dead" was found on Mr. McCartney's Sgt. Pepper costume: A sleeve patch supposedly read "OPD," which fans took to mean "Officially Pronounced Dead."
According to Sir Paul himself, what does the patch really say and mean?

The patch really reads OPP which stands for Ontario Provincial Police. The Fab Four all received OPP patches while in Canada during their 1965 tour.

And EL steals the serve! You got it right. The Byrds was the answer I was looking for. Next question to you Estimate Lad.

That would be the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band on "Intro and Outro". It also featured, amongst many other real and imagined contributors.:
Brainiac on the Banjo, for our Legion connection
'Big' John Wayne on the Xylophone
Eric Clapton on the Ukulele, who I think actually played on the album.
Roy Rogers on Trigger
Quasimodo on Bells
