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 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?

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.'

God of Thunder

You are correct.

The album was "McCartney"


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

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?

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

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)

roachboy

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.

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.

cool

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?

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 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?

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?
