Rolling Stone's 500 "Greatest Albums" Part 14 Quiz

Answer: Carter

"Tha Carter II" was the second (obviously) of five albums by Lil Wayne to have "The Carter" in the title. Released in 2005, it reached number two on the Billboard 200. It was also, fans said, his best album to that time. Born in New Orleans, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr was a rapper and songwriter.

Answer: Infamous

Released in 1995, "The Infamous" was the second album from Mobb Deep. It is not to be confused with his with his eighth album "The Infamous Mobb Deep" of 2014. It reached number six n the Billboard 200. Mobb Deep were a New York duo who came to prominence in 1991, but disbanded in 2012, only to reform a year later.

Answer: Pass

Released in 1970, "All Things Must Pass" was the first solo album from George Harrison after The Beatles broke up. This triple album contained songs that Harrison had written while still a Beatle. Phil Spector was the producer and among musicians were Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon - who went on to form Derek and the Dominos after the sessions.

The album spent eight weeks at the top of the UK album charts and was also a number one on the Billboard 200.

Answer: Reading

Toronto rocker Aubrey Drake Graham released the mixtape "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" in 2015. It was an immediate hit, going to the top of the charts in both Canada and the USA. It made number three in the UK and number two in Australia.

Drake drew his influences from R&B and hip-hop and was regarded as someone constantly looking to push those - and his own - boundaries. He was also noted for guest appearances with many other performers.

Answer: Rocks

In 1976, "Rocks" was the fourth album from Aerosmith. It reached number three on the Billboard 200. At their height, Aerosmith lived the rock and roll lifestyle to its full: replete with smashed-up hotel rooms and copious amounts of cocaine. After going into rehab in 1986, the band members cleaned up their act.

It is estimated that with sales of over 150 million records, Aerosmith were hard rock's top-selling band.

Answer: Madvillainy

Released in 2004, "Madvillainy" was the brainchild of emcee MF Doom and producer Madlib. On first release it was a number nine on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums charts.

Doom- Daniel Dumile- was an enigma who spent most of his career singing through a mask and died at the age of 49. He sprang to attention as part of the New York rap trio KMD, but it was a career in which he defied expectations and refused to bend to the whims of the record companies.

Answer: Food

Released in 1978, "More Songs About Buildings and Food" was the second album from New York City rockers Talking Heads. While they sprang from the post-punk genre, this second LP gave them a fresh sound that was to endure. The album sold well, reaching the top 30 of the charts in both the UK and the USA.

The band were active between 1975 and 1991, when frontman David Byrne left. It brought to a temporary end a strange dynamic within the band: one in which Byrne was accused of adopting a role as the superior member - claiming all songwriting credits as his own, for example. He was said to be deeply unimpressed when other members formed Tom Tom Club and had a gold record. The band reunited between 1996 and 2002, but there was to be no going back.

Answer: Connection

In 1975, the funk outfit Parliament released "The Mothership Connection" as their fourth album. It reached number 13 on the Billboard 200. The band became noted for drawing on science fiction influences and for their outlandish stage performances. Parliament were part of a musical movement that included the band Funkadelic and comprised over 50 musicians.

Answer: Much

In 1975, "Never Too Much" was the first solo album from Luther Vandross after he left Change. It reached number 19 on the Billboard 200. Vandross had been active as a session singer in the 1970s, singing behind some of the top names around. As a solo performer, he sold more that 25 million records and won eight Grammys.

Answer: Parade

My Chemical Romance had a Billboard 200 number two with "The Black Parade" in 2006. Indeed, it was a top five in several other countries as well. MCR were a band beloved by their fans. It was a relationship that left some critics bewildered; especially by their behaviour on stage - it takes a keen fan not to mind being pelted with bottles filled with, um, 'liquid' from the stage, as happened at the Reading Festival in 2006.
