Who was the last person to speak?

Answer: Mick Fleetwood

There were a lot of tensions between Fleetwood Mac during the recording of their excellent album "Rumours".

However, "Rumours" became one of the best-selling albums of all time.

3. "This album is looking good with all the great songs we have on here." "Yeah, but I don't like the title track to this album... I feel it's missing something, towards the end." "You're right. Hey Jim! We need you to record something for us!" What album was being recorded?

Answer: L.A. Woman

"L.A. Woman" would become on of the Doors' most successful albums ever. At the end of the title track for the album, "L.A. Woman", Jim Morrison sings his anagram "Mr. Mojo Risin'" towards the end of the song, faster and faster as the tune progresses.

Unfortunately, this would be the last album Morrison recorded with the Doors, for he died in 1971, a couple of months after the album's release.

Answer: Wish You Were Here

During the recordings for the masterpiece "Wish You Were Here" album, Pink Floyd spotted their old friend and band member, Syd Barrett, in the recording studio mattering things to himself. The band didn't recognize him at first, because he had lost his hair and gained a lot of weight.

This occurrence didn't stop Pink Floyd from recording, though, as "Wish You Were Here" is considered a great album.

5. "So, what do you guys think of my songs?" "They are quite incredible, Tom, and you said you recorded all of these by yourself?" "Yes I did." "Wow, amazing. But thre is one problem, how can you tour if you can only play one instrument at a time?" "No problem, I'll just get a band together so we can hit the road." What band was formed after Tom's talk with the record company?

Answer: Boston

Tom Scholz, the musical genius that he is, played every instrument for every song on the album "Boston". And he even produced it himself! He brought together the band Boston so they could tour. Boston's debut album "Boston" would become one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

6. "Well we got everything down on this album except for a couple of songs." "But what about the album cover? We haven't got a clue on what to do with it!" "Hey Mick do you want some Campbell's?" "Wait a minute... that's it! We'll get Warhol to do it!" What album was being recorded?

Answer: Sticky Fingers

On the famed Rolling Stones album "Sticky Fingers", they got Andy Warhol to design the album cover. Warhol also designed the album cover for another Stones album, "Love You Live". "Sticky Fingers" has some good tunes on it and is considered one of the Stones' best.

7. "Hey Pete! You're late, where were you?" "Sorry guys, I went drinking last night." "Again? But you're usually always early for recording times." "I know, well I don't know what happened, but when I woke up I was in a doorway... and I was about to get arrested before a policeman realized who I was and let me go." "Say that sounds like a good song!" "What are we waiting for? Let's get to it!" What album was being recorded?

Answer: Who Are You

We all know the interesting tale of how Pete Townshend and the rest of the Who wrote the great hit "Who Are You?". Apparently, Townshend spent his night drinking with members of the band Sex Pistols, and when he woke up, he was in a Soho doorway. The policeman let him go, however, because he was a celebrity. All in all, "Who Are You?" is a good album.

8. "Well guys, I think we should get a greatest hits album together, the problem is, I don't know what to name it!" "Yeah, hey Steve let me look through the list of songs... wow a lot of good tunes. Big hits for us, big ones!" "Big ones... hey that's it!" What band was thinking of the album title?

Answer: Aerosmith

"Big Ones" was a greatest hits album released by Aerosmith in the early 1990's. It has hits from their three previous albums "Get a Grip", "Permanent Vacation", and "Pump" (not in order of release), and it is one of my favorite albums.

9. "Hey Robert, have you seen those two party animals?" "No I haven't, they've been coming late to recording sessions lately." "Well I hope their not partying too much, or else this may be the last album we record." "Yeah, well let's get started without them." What album was being recorded?

Answer: In Through the Out Door

"In Through the Out Door" would be the last album Led Zeppelin ever recorded, because after the album's release in 1979, John Bonham died in 1980, which caused the band to break up. Jimmy Page and Bonham would always show up late for recording sessions for "In Through the Out Door". None the less, it wasn't a bad album for Zeppelin.

10. "In honor of this recording studio, I think we should name our new album after it." "Yes I agree, and how is the art work coming?" "Very good, I have the final draft, check it yourself." "George, why does he look like a zombie?" "What do you mean, what's the problem?" "Well people are going to think our bassist is dead!" What album was being recorded?

Answer: Abbey Road

The masterpiece "Abbey Road" by the Beatles had the very famous album cover, where there were many clues to which people believed that Paul McCartney was dead. It didn't matter, though, for the album is still considered one of the Beatles' best works.
