ha sorry, i was abscnent.

it was both vatican commando and flipper.

kind of a 2 chances thing

flipper!
what a great band.
carry on....

Looks like it's time for a kick-start on this.

OK contestants, hands on buzzers...

What was the first solo album released after the breakup of The Beatles?

"I don't freaking know!" By "thanks for kick starting this thread"

That or something by Paul.

I know!! Paul's album was first, I don't think it had a title, other than either Paul McCartney or McCartney, the one with the cherries on the cover.

I can probably even name all the songs. Scary, huh?

oh... so it wasn't RAM?

i thought it was george harrison's "all things must pass"...

Actually, I don't think it was any of those...but I'm not sure what the answer is...my instinct says it was a George Harrison album, though, just not 'all things must pass.'

You are correct.

The album was "McCartney"

George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" quickly followed. A much better album in my humble opinion.:thumbsup:

I'm not so sure about this...but, whatever. :)

I definitely agree about George's album.

I'm don't know a lot of music trivia, except maybe Beatles stuff, so this is probably an easy question.

Other than solo, Joe Walsh participated in which other bands?

eagles
james gang

those are the only two i remember

I think there was a small stint with an even more obscure attempt at a band, but that's what I was looking for.

You're up, RB :p

ok so let's get obscure and see what happens.

frank zappa created a doo wop band.
they released one album, and the title was the band name.
what is the band/album title?

Joe's Garage?

(just a shot in the dark... I don't think that album was doo wop)

nope.
it was earlier--by quite a bit.

sample lyric:
cheap thrills in the back of my car
cheap thrills how fine they are
etc.

Might be the "Ramblers"

Was it the Persuasions? Or were they pre-exisiting and just picked up for You are What You Is?

this was an album done entirely by a version of the mothers of invention under another name as a doo-wop group....orange cover with an image of a 57 chevy or so, full of cartoon characters in various action poses.

Could it be "Cheap Thrills"?

that's the title of the album.
what was the band name?

hmmmm...are you talking about Cruising with Ruben and the Jets?

that would be correct mm...

yer up.

cool :p

technically, I think the album was recorded as the Mothers...but who fucking cares, lol

okay...let me think of something...

Staying with the Zappa theme:

What shameful event in American history was the concept album 'Thing-Fish' purportedly based on?

I think it was the Tuskegee Experiments. Haven't listened to that album in some time, though.

You are correct, sir. Your question.

I knew it too... after I Googled it.

That almost sounds dirty, anyway next question please.

We'll go with a tough one I read in a trivia game a while back.

In the late 1950's Stan Robinson (the father of Chris and Rich Robinson) had a minor hit single. What was the name of the song?

I think we're stumped here.

I concur, never even heard of these people.

chris and rich robinson are in the black crows.

oh... Now I've heard of them. still stumped.

Ok, I feel dumb. I have some of their stuff.

Like you still don't have a clue.

I know the answer, but I had to use Google to find out. I think it's safe to say nobody's going to get this one, though, and Anxst doesn't seem to be coming back.

Somebody want to move things along here?

I have no problem with that, but I speak only for myself.

Chris and Rich Robinson are the lead singer and lead guitarist of The Black Crowes. Their father, Stan, had a hit with "Boom-a-dip-dip" and used to open for Bill Haley and the Comets.

Alright, too obscure. I'll try again.

This rapper put out a record with Dan the Automator Nakamura and DJ Qbert to critical acclaim as Dr. Octagon, then went on to nearly disown the album as it made too many white people interested in him. Who is he?

kool keith.

ultramagnetics still rule.

You know it!

Hit us, roachboy!

still on the hip-hop tip, as it were:

which west-coast turntablist crew included among its members rhett-matic, melo-d and babu?

Looks like, once again, we are stumped.
