Here's One I Produced Earlier Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix learned about Cat Mother through Michael Jeffrey, who was his co-manager at the time, alongside Chas Chandler. He liked their sound, which was fairly unique at the time, and agreed to produce their debut album, from which they had a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in USA with "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll".
This hit single which peaked at number 21, was a mash up of rock 'n' roll classics given the Cat Mother treatment and including "Sweet Little Sixteen", "Chantilly Lace" and "Blue Suede Shoes".
Cat Mother were support act for quite a few Hendrix gigs due to his involvement with the band, and this led to other gigs, including the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival in 1969, on the same bill as Chuck Berry, Alice Cooper and the Doors. They also played the New Orleans Pop Festival in the same year, when fellow acts included Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Grateful Dead.
The band released three further albums between 1970 and 1973, all of which were self produced, before calling it a day.

Answer: Pete Townshend

Thunderclap Newman were put together by Townshend and manager of the Who as a vehicle to showcase the talents of John "Speedy" Keen, Jimmy McCulloch, and Andy "Thunderclap" Newman, all of whom were friends of the band.
On the back of the success of "Something In The Air", Thunderclap Newman were invited to tour with Deep Purple and between July 1969 and April 1971 opened for them over 40 times in UK, as well as supporting the band in Scandinavia.
One of the problems with being a manufactured band was that the members often had personality clashes, and this was led to their break up in 1971, just days before a Scottish tour which was to be followed by acting as a support act on the Who's 12 week tour of USA.

Answer: Electric Light Orchestra

Lynne first produced the self titled second album from his band Idle Race in 1969, but when it failed to chart he joined the Move, who had already achieved success in both the UK singles and album charts. He produced and played on two albums by the Move before he and fellow member Roy Wood left to form Electric Light Orchestra. ELO achieved success with tracks such as "Evil Woman" (1975), "Livin' Thing" (1976) and "Telephone Line" (1977) among many others with their unique blend of rock and classical music.
Lynne was also a member of the supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys and has also co produced albums for Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and Joe Walsh. He has also worked with his fellow Wilburys on releases by George Harrison, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison as well as working solo on Bryan Adams' 2015 album, "Get Up!", which reached number two in the UK album charts.

Answer: Mick Jagger

Jagger played harmonica on one track on the 1988 album and produced the tracks, "Which Way To America?" and "Glamour Boys", which was released as Living Colour's follow up single to their smash, "Cult Of Personality" (1988).
Jagger got involved with the band after seeing them play at CBGB's in New York, and was so impressed with the band he asked them to contribute towards his solo album, "Primitive Cool" (1987) and while recording this album, he produced the two tracks for the band.
Living Colour were a revelation in the rock world and struggled for years to get a record deal as many executives didn't feel a group of black guys could play hard rock or have mass appeal. Jagger's involvement and the success of "Cult Of Personality" went a long way to changing that view. What also helped was Tom Morello's statement about the band, when he said "I was absolutely blown away that clearly there were other African Americans who unapologetically loved Led Zeppelin and wanted to shred."

Answer: Weezer

"Weezer" (1994), usually referred to as "the blue album" was the band's debut album and the Weezer sound was crafted expertly by Ocasek . Ocasek was no stranger to production duties, having been in the chair for Bad Brains, Lloyd Cole and Suicide prior to this album as well as producing two albums from the Cars and five of his own solo albums.
Following on from "Weezer" (1994) which contained the hit single, "Buddy Holly", Ocasek was back in the hot seat for the band's third album, "Weezer" (2001), usually called "the green album", which contained the hit, "Hash Pipe", a top 30 hit in UK.
Weezer worked with a variety of producers over the next few years, as well as self producing, but when 2014s, "Everything Will Be Alright in the End" marked a return to their earlier sound, there was only ever one man for production duties. Ocasek was brought back in and the album was released to great reviews from critics as well as reaching number five on the Billboard 200 in USA. "Back To The Shack" (2014) was the lead single from the album and went top five on the Billboard Alternative Airplay charts.

Answer: Elton John and Rod Stewart

After releasing albums with a pop / soul sound at the end of the 60s, the start of the new decade saw Baldry return to his bluesier roots with "It Ain't Easy" (1971). Rod Stewart was brought in to produce after impressing with his work on his own albums, "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down" (1969) and "Gasoline Alley" (1970). Stewart drafted in his band mate from Faces, Ron Wood and Wood supplied guitar work for four of the ten tracks.
While working on the album, Stewart ran into piano player, and former band mate of Baldry in Bluesology, Elton John who expressed interest in the project. Stewart roped Elton in and they produced half of the album each, with the hit single from the album, "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll" appearing on side one, Rod Stewart's side.
Stewart and John repeated the half and half split on Baldry's next album, "Everything Stops For Tea" (1972), but this time around Elton had side one and Rod had side two. There were no hit singles on this album, but there were several stand out tracks, including covers of the Willie Dixon penned tracks, You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" and "Seventh Son" .
Also on this album was a great cover of "Iko Iko" and although Ronnie Wood didn't appear on this album, the cover artwork, featuring Baldry as the Mad Hatter from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1965), is a Ronnie Wood original.

Answer: Bad News

Bad News were the subject of one episode of "The Comic Strip Presents..." (1983), but proved so popular that band members Vim Fuego (played by Ade Edmondson); Den Dennis, (Nigel Planer); Colin Grigson, (Rik Mayall); and Spider "Eight-Legs" Webb, (Peter Richardson) went on tour. Along the way, they played the famous Marquee club in London, supported acts such as Iron Maiden and had guest appearances from the likes of Brian May, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
Many of their gigs were filmed for a follow up episode of "The Comic Strip Presents..." (1988), the most famous one being when they played the UK's premier rock festival, the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington in 1986.
Their Brian May produced album, "Bad News" (1987), peaked at number 69 on UK album charts while the single from the album, a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody reached number 44 in UK singles chart, also in 1987.

Answer: Gene Simmons

There is a good reason that Doro Pesch is known as "the queen of heavy metal". She has been turning out good rock music since 1982 when as a member of Warlock, she played the Monsters of Rock festival in UK and toured Europe, supporting bands such as Dio and Judas Priest.
Following the demise of Warlock in 1988, she went solo, releasing "Force Majeure" in 1989, which had a more radio friendly, glam metal feel than some of the earlier Warlock recordings and gave her her biggest chart success to date, reaching number five in Germany.
Impressed with his production work on the Black 'n' Blue albums, "Nasty Nasty" (1986) and "In Heat" (1988), Doro contacted Gene Simmons with a view to him producing her next release. Not only did Simmons agree, he brought along Black 'n' Blue guitarist Tommy Thayer to assist him and Thayer ended up contributing guitar work to the album, titled "Doro" (1990) as well as producing.
This album also went top ten in Doro's native Germany and many years after the albums release, Doro still regards Simmons as the best producer she ever worked with.
Between 1990 and 2000, Doro released a further four albums, with a variety of producers and varying degrees of success, until in 2000, she released "Calling The Wild" which gave her her biggest German album chart success since "Doro" a decade earlier.
The album featured contributions from Motorhead's Lemmy, Andreas Bruhn from The Sisters of Mercy and guitar work from Slash, along with a great cover of Billy Idol's "White Wedding" (1982). Production credits on the album, other than Lemmy were many and varied. They included Jimmy Harry who has worked with Madonna and Kylie Minogue, Bob Kulick who has worked with Alice Cooper and Meat Loaf and conductor of the Brazilian Orquestra Jazz Sinfônica, Nelson Ayres.

Answer: David Gilmour

Folk rock band, The Dream Academy had so much going for them, a top producer, the songwriting abilities of Nick Laird-Clowes and Gilbert Gabriel and the talents of multi-instrumentalist Kate St John. This all came together for the debut album, "The Dream Academy" (1985) which also spawned the single, "Life in a Northern Town" (1985), a top ten hit in Australia, Ireland and Canada as well as in USA on the Billboard Hot 100.
Sadly, this was to remain their only hit in most countries, and is now largely forgotten as a Dream Academy song, having been covered by bands such as Sugarland and Little Big Town, it is seen by many as a country music staple.
Following the disappointing chart placings of the Lindsay Buckingham produced "Remembrance Days" (1987), Gilmour was brought back on board to produce 1990s "A Different Kind of Weather". Unfortunately, despite heavy touring and a single release of John Lennon's "Love" (1982) mixed with an Indian beat, the album failed to chart and The Dream Academy called it a day soon after.
In a testament to their talents, the members have certainly not struggled for work since the break up. Nick Laird-Clowes has worked with David Gilmour and co-written songs for Pink Floyd with him, while Kate St John has taken her oboe and cor anglais playing skills to become a vital member of Van Morrison's band. Gilbert Gabriel has gone on to become an in demand writer of film and TV soundtracks as well as a much respected lecturer in film and soundtrack studies.

Answer: Mark Knopfler

Dylan reportedly wanted to produce "Infidels" (1983) himself. It was his first secular album in five years, after a trilogy of Christian albums. However he discovered that the modern technology of production was too advanced for him and so Knopfler was brought in. The album, although not especially well received by critics, was a chart success, making the top ten in many countries and the top 20 in the Billboard 200 in USA.
Knopfler went on to produce "Knife" (1984) by Aztec Camera, which hit number 14 on UK album charts and "Miracle" (1987) by Willy DeVille, which was dedicated to Knopfler and his wife, Lourdes and included the track, "Storybook Love" (1987), used as the theme tune to the movie, "The Princess Bride" (1987).
Knopfler also produced the majority of Randy Newman's 1988 album, "Land of Dreams" and tracks on Tina Turner's "Break Every Rule" (1986) as well as many film soundtracks and reissues of Dire Straits' material.
