    Bob's Cryptic Album Quiz No. 3

    Yes, folks, Bob is bored again, so here's another album quiz for ya...

    1) Excitement that doesn't cost much.
    2) The reason for cruelty.
    3) Musicians heading hurriedly for the toilet.
    4) Beverage especially provided for a manual labourer.
    5) The Russians are selling things at dusk, by the sound of it.
    6) Both are necessary for a real man.
    7) Battersea power station would have been one.
    8) What follows a lesson in algebra?
    9) He's less powerful at night, presumably.
    10) Joel's buddies.

    The oldest is from the mid-60s, the newest was released last year. One is Australian.

    Correct.

    I should have made that one no. 2 instead of no. 3, shouldn't I?

    "Power and the Glory" is wrong. Who recorded that?

    My prog credentials are already shot to pieces, but they will be further damaged when No. 6 is solved.
    Remember, the albums are not necessarily "prog".

    If 6 was a song I'd say Titties and Beer.

    5. Red Sails in the Sunset

    6. Night and Day? (Joe Jackson)

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    Red Sails is correct!
    NOT Night and Day.

    Interesting how everyone is fixated on No. 6... I thought No. 2 would be solved by now.

    Obviously people are finding some of these harder than I thought, so here are some more clues to those not yet solved:

    2) This album was discussed at great length recently on PE.
    6) is to do with biology, but not with sex of the pornographic kind.
    7) What does a power station do?
    8) Algebra... or geometry... or calculus...
    10) The name of a city is involved.
