Rock & Roll Trivial Feud II (75 players)

Rules, in case you are new to this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Back by popular demand, since the debut album had 50 players in 6 hours, I give it another try with 75 players.

Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 75 responses, I will give each response 1.3333 points. If all 75 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 75 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, post the scoreboard and declare peace in the Middle East. There are 10 questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points. [Math Dopers, I think I did that right, didn’t I?]

A quick reminder, the object of the game is to give an answer that you think will match the most number of other Doper's answers.

Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

If you don't know an answer, guess! If you pass, you're guaranteed to get zero points -- but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you'll get points, whether the answer is "right" or not!

1. Name an album by The Who
2. Name a song by Jim Croce
3. Name a rock & roll movie
4. Name a rocker who has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth
5. Name the first Beatles song you ever heard
6. Other than The Who, name a famous Live album
7. Name a rocker who married a supermodel
8. Name a Southern rock band
9. Name a long song
10. Other than Mrs. Robinson name a song by Simon & Garfunkel


Just for fun, AFTER you have made your post, take a guess at the approximate age of the person who made the post before yours.

Brian Jones was of Rolling Stones fame. Monty Python had a Terry Jones, but it was Graham Chapman who always played the officer who stopped sketches because they were silly.

My guess is that percussion is born mid to late 50's

Spoiler for my own age in case the next poster wants to guess. No peeking.
SPOILER:
The choice of Love me do seems to make percussion a few years older than me

I read #9 as 'Name a Love Song'. Layla's long, but not that long. Oh well. No points for #9 for me.

I think it's a good answer. I thought of it too. I remember reading an interview with a disc jockey in the '70s where they asked him what he did if he was on the air and needed to go to the bathroom. He replied, "Play 'Layla,' ha ha ha!"
