Farin 2 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ike Turner is the only one who didn't appear on the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach. and we have a winner 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Wyld Card 5 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 You got it, they're from NYC and the only non Seattle-based band on the list. Come out from hiding behind the couch and post a list. Link to post Share on other sites
Zabadak 0 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Here I come, ready or not! "Waiting For The Sun" - The Doors "World Shut Your Mouth" - Julian Cope "Oxygene" - Jean-Michel Jarre "Sheer Heart Attack" - Queen "If You Want Blood You Got It" - AC/DC Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 AC/DC - their album is live recordings? Link to post Share on other sites
Brad_M 3 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 World Shut Your Mouth - Julian Cope It's the only album on the list that is a debut album. Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 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.

Zabadak 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Absolutely 100% correct-o! The others have their title track on other albums whereas Oxygene has six title tracks! Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Albums: Blood Sugar Sex Magic - Red Hot Chili Peppers Licensed to Ill - Beastie Boys Wildflowers - Tom Petty Dream Police - Cheap Trick Raising Hell - Run DMC Wandering Spirit - Mick Jagger Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 damn, I'm good Paradise Circus ~ Massive Attack Another Day in Paradise ~ Phil Collins Welcome to Paradise ~ Green Day Gangsta's Paradise ~ Coolio Paradise By the Dashboard Light ~ Meat Loaf Link to post Share on other sites
Zabadak 0 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Gangsta's Paradise was a cover? Paradise By The Dashboard Light features an uncredited female singer? Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Can it be called a "cover" if the whole lyrics are different? And Paradise Circus features a female vocalist too (okay, she's credited though) Either way, both are not what I was looking for. Link to post Share on other sites
Brad_M 3 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 "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 Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Welcome to Paradise is correct, but the reason is a different one: that song is the only one of the five that is about an actual place (Oakland), but I guess that was a bit too obscure, so I'll just accept your explanation Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (I know this would be too obvious, but) Ricky van Shelton is not a band? Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm wondering if it has something to do with one of the members of the bands being in another band? I can't think of examples for all of them though Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Beatles aren't from the US... Link to post Share on other sites
Brad_M 3 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Brad_M 3 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That is correct, Kenne. I could have also used Van Halen - "Fire In The Hole" Link to post Share on other sites
