OK...I admit it....I'm bored and there's not much happening in here so I thought I'd start a new game thread and here it is:

Name The Album

I was released in 1976 and was the follow up to one of the highest selling albums of all time.

Though not as succesful commercially, I was still a success and maintained the band's reputation for delivering a variety of music that was accessible to all.

My name came from a Marx Brothers reference.

The opening track has a possible bondage reference

The final track is partly sung in Japanese

What's my name?

Hmm.. I'll try to make it not too easy, & not too hard.. I hope.

Credited as the pioneers of their genre, this band's 8th album features a single of the same name that topped the British charts at the time. The single also appeared in part in another artists single that was released in 2005 & spent 12 weeks on the Australian charts.

The album is...

All I can come up with is Green Day, but that was their seventh album, wasn't it?

Nothing wrong with a search. The idea was to make it initially tough enough that a search would not bring up an answer right away. Then I would roll out the clues.

I was expecting some smartarse to answer it straight away. Let me know what gave away the answer.

For the rest of you, here's some more clues:

Their songs have been covered by U2, Simple Minds, OMD, Ride, Divine Comedy, Rammstein, & many others.

Saw them at the BDO a few yrs back. They're much older than Green Day!
