NTN Encore Question of March 31st, 2007.
Played at Joe Mercury's in Toronto, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Sean METLCA, Rob COSMO, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...3rd/9...METLCA and PLBAAB win round with 5000. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...3rd/9. I just make sure that I've kept pressing 'enter' on ROCKET as this Playmaker asks me what game I want to play before every game. OK I'm in. All the other games tonight I forget and miss the first answer on that board. OnBeat...ROCKET...12500/14000...3rd/9...our five boards win with 8000 points. ..........LITBOX...12500/14000...3rd/9. 8 right and 1 wrong was pretty good. The questions were a bit more mainstream than the last few weeks. There's more new albums coming out at this time of year. JukeBox...ROCKET...17114/20000...4th/9...PLBAAB wins round and takes lead. ...........LITBOX...17097/20000...5th/9. I found out the batteries in my mini-recorder had died so I couldn't dictate the questions for a recap to the Playback section of the NTN message board. Two questions each on Girls, Elton John, and Scholarships earned by singers were our choices. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22208/28000...3rd/10...COSMO wins round and takes lead. .........LITBOX...22155/28000...5th/10. I take one -250 in this round and it was for the 'modern' song (always the last one) and even though I hadn't heard it, it was the most obvious. Another for less than 100 and something for 300.

Now the Encore answers come up. Prog-rock groups. OK. I'm just thinking about how I'm going to record the questions and scores on paper.
Encore Question:..."90125" was a 1983 album by this progressive rock group:

Hey! I know this before the answers come back up. I own this album on cassette tape (I bought it the year it came out)*. I start singing the number one hit song after I tell the guys the right answer. Rob thanks me later as he said he didn't know it.
*Oops. Second look reveals I don't have this album after all. Hmm. I know it was on my wanted list back then but in those days my finances were tighter so I never did buy it.
Correct Answer:....3. Yes
[NTN Extra Fact:...It included the #1 hit song "Owner Of A Lonely Heart". ]
Thanks to Steven/SEKA from the Playback message board for the exact wording of the question and Extra Fact.
