Ike Turner is the only one who didn't appear on the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach.

and we have a winner :thumbsup:

incidentally Ike Turner did appear in their previous album Demon Days, playing the awesome piano part of Every Planet We Reach Is Dead

I thought it might have something to do with Gorillaz originally when I saw Mick Jones, but thought that might be too specific to be it.

Yeah, I know. But it's a fine line between a question being too easy or too hard. :P

Oxygene is the only album that contains it's title track on the same album.

The songs are on a different album other than the album that has the same title as the song.

"Waiting For The Sun" - The Doors is on Morrison Hotel

"World Shut Your Mouth" - Julian Cope is on Saint Julian

"Sheer Heart Attack" - Queen is on News of the World

"If You Want Blood You've Got It" - AC/DC is on Highway to Hell

Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy is another example of this, as it is on Physical Graffiti.

I'll take an educated guess:

BSSM, Licensed to Ill and Raising Hell are all Rick Rubin productions, even if I don't know it for the other three I guess that that's the common theme.

And as the oldest album of the remaining three is Dream Police, I'd say that that's the odd one out?

tl;dr Dream Police by Cheap Trick is the only album not produced by Rick Rubin

"Welcome To Paradise" by Green Day is the oddball.

All the other songs feature another artist with vocal parts in the song.

"Paradise Circus" - Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star

"Another Day In Paradise" - David Crosby

"Gangsta's Paradise" - L.V. (Larry Sanders)

"Paradise By The Dashboard Light" - Ellen Foley

Ricky not being a band and Beatles not being from the U.S. are too obvious, even though it fits.

I guess I should have noticed that and thought of a couple of other examples.

For this set, you need to look at song titles from each.

Boston is the only one that doesn't have a song that contains the word "Hole" in the title?

Nine Inch Nails - Head like a Hole

The Beatles - Fixing a Hole

Alice In Chains - Down in a Hole

Extreme - Hole Hearted

Ricky Van Shelton - Hole in my Pocket

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
