Rotating Quiz #83 - Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts

[Gareth Owen]

( Inspired by The Canadian Inquisitions "Chapter Titles" round, thanks )
( to Mark Brader and the question setters of that round.... )

Each question takes the form of a list of three subdivisions of a
greater work -- they may be chapters of books, books in a series, songs
on an album, films in a sequence, or any similar breakdown -- the only
criterion is that they are individually titled parts of a greater whole.

Points will be awarded for the name of that Greater Work, and for the
author, artist, etc who created it. Preference will be given to the
earliest and/or original work, so if the items were

"The Fellowship Of The Ring"
"The Two Towers"
"The Return Of The King"

I'm looking for JRR Tolkien, not Peter Jackson.

Similarly:
"Mr Tambourine Man"
"Subterranean Homesick Blues"
"Maggies Farm"
the right answer would be "Bringing It All Back Home",
and "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" would be scored wrong.

Some are easy, some are much less so... Enjoy!

Tie breaker will be whoever least recently won a Rotating Quiz.

At the job where I worked about 30 years ago, there was a hamburger
place where some of us went for lunch sometimes, a couple of blocks
from the office. I haven't been to the location since and have no
idea idea whether the place is still there. It was called "Dante's
Inferno". The burgers were good, but the service was so slow that
I when I started calling the place "Andante's", everyone understood.

[Gareth Owen]

First, the answers: Wherever there are multiple creators, full credit
was given for any individual correct.

1. "Siegfried"
"Die Walküre"
"Das Rheingold"

Richard Wagner - "Der Ring des Nibelungen", an operatic cycle based on
Norse mythology. This was the easiest question on the quiz.

2. "Miracle Cure"
"Go To The Mirror!"
"1921"

The Who - "Tommy", a rock opera about a deaf dumb and blind kid who
unfeasibly parlays a unlikely skill at pinball into implausible
semi-Messianic status

3. "Higher Than The Sun (a Dub Symphony in Two Parts)"
"Damaged"
"Loaded"

Primal Scream - "Screamadelica", a magnificent rock, acid house, dub
fusion double album, "frequently acknowledged as one of the best albums
of the 1990s" (wikipedia)

4. "Ur So Gay"
"Waking Up In Vegas"
"Hot n Cold"

Katy Perry - "One Of The Boys". She kissed a girl and she liked it.
She married Russell Brand with somewhat more mixed results.

5. "Freedom"
"Careless Whisper"
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"

Wham - "Make It Big". I gave partial credit for George Michael.
(He kissed a girl, and decided it really wasn't for him.)

6. "Good Bye Pork Pie Hat"
"Open Letter To Duke"
"Better Git In Your Soul"

Charles Mingus - "Mingus Ah Um".
Possibly the third best Jazz album of 1959...

7. "Time Of The Preacher"
"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"
"Denver"

Willie Nelson - "The Red Headed Stranger". The greatest
outlaw-country-concept-album of all time, a multi-platinum seller that
spawned a movie starring Nelson himself.

8. "Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos"
"Mind Terrorist"
"Don't Believe The Hype"

Public Enemy - "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back".
"Possibly the greatest rap album ever made. Balancing political
incisiveness with rock dynamics, it crossed the race divide and
almost instantly made all other rap acts sound tame. For a brief
spell hip hop was about more than guns and bling." BBC Online

9. "Girl"
"The Word"
"What Goes On"

The Beatles - "Rubber Soul". Moderately successful beat combo from
Merseyside. John Masters called it "Their best album ever", an
assessment with which I agree.

10. "Nimrod"
"G.R.S"
"* * *"

Edward Elgar - "The Enigma Variations", a series of musical pieces
inspired by Elgar's friends, and given titles that hint at the person
concerned.

Part The Second: Literary Escapades

1. "Eclipse"
"New Moon"
"Breaking Dawn"

Stephanie Meyer - The Twilight Saga. Very popular with the young
people, I'm led to understand.

2. "Book I. Containing as much of the birth of the foundling as is
necessary or proper to acquaint the reader with in the
beginning of this History"
"Book II. Containing scenes of matrimonial felicity in different
degrees of life; and various other transactions during
the first two years after the marriage between Captain
Blifil and Miss Bridget Allworthy.
"Book V. Containing a portion of time somewhat longer than half
a year."

Henry Fielding - "The History Of Tom Jones, a foundling". The word
'foundling' was a deliberate if somewhat opaque clue. I accept "Tom
Jones", by which the work is widely known.

3. "Inferno"
"Purgatorio"
"Paradiso"

Dante Alighieri - "The Divine Comedy", in which Dante passes through
Hell, Purgartory and Paradise in pursuit of beloved Beatrice, only to
remember he has left the iron on.

4. "The Abyss Gazes Also"
"At Midnight, All The Agents"
"A Brother To Dragons"

Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons - "Watchmen". Seminal 1980s comic book,
recently filmed. Each title is a short section from a longer quotation,
which appears in full at the chapters end.

5. "A Game Of Chess"
"The Fire Sermon"
"Death By Water"

T.S.Eliot - "The Wasteland". Identified multiple times as Harry
Potter. Probably the best known modern(ist) poem in English, but not on
rec.games.trivia, it seems, as no points were scored on this.

6. "Please Look. Can You See Us Etc"
"Robert Urich Says No. We Were So Close"
"Rules And Suggestions For The Enjoyment Of This Book"

Dave Eggers - "A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius", a
semi-autobiographical memoir/novel that was a literary sensation in 2000.

7. "Struggle For Existence"
"Instinct"
"Laws Of Variation"

Charles Darwin - "On The Origin Of Species, By Means of Natural
Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".

The most important ever work in biological science, or lies spread by
Satan. Take your pick.

8. "Arrival Of A Foundling"
"Catherine Becomes A Lady"
"Mr Lockwood Takes His Leave"

Emily Bronte - "Wuthering Heights"

9. "Economy"
"The Ponds"
"Where I Lived, and What I Lived For"

Henry Thoreau - "Walden"

10. "Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live With Their Moms?"
"What Makes A Perfect Parent?"
"How Is The Ku Klux Klan Like A Group Of Real-Estate Agents?"

Stephen Dubner & Steven Levitt - "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist
Explores the Hidden Side of Everything"

Part The Third: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

1. "Warldorf Salad"
"The Wedding Party"
"The Germans"

John Cleese & Connie Booth - "Fawlty Towers".

2. "The Contest"
"The Junior Mint"
"The Merv Griffin Show"

Jerry Seinfeld & Larry David - "Seinfeld"

3. "Numbers"
"Namaste"
"The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

Jeffrey Leiber, JJ Abrams & Damon Lindelhof - "Lost". Rob Parker
identified this as "Seinfeld" too, but I suspect that he was just making
an ironic aside about "Shows with wildly disappointing final episodes"

4. "Carentan"
"Bastogne"
"The Last Patrol"

Stephen Ambrose, Stephen Spielberg - "Band Of Brothers"

5. "Marine One"
"The Good Soldier"
"A Gettysburg Address"

Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa - "Homeland". Increasing implausible would
be a polite description.

Yes, correct correction.
