I agree there is too much entertainment & pop culture bias on the latest set of questions. Having said that, just connect these albums. Ans: Vatican’s Top 10 a.k.a The Ten Commandments of Music (?!). Four of you have got it correct. Read Kamal Rathi’s answer. It is as elaborate as it can get.
From X to Y. On the occasion of Z. Who / What are X,Y & Z? 6 People got it right; X=George Lucas; Y=James Cameron; Z=Titanic dethroning Star Wars as #1 Box office movie of all time. This was taken out as a full page ad in Variety. More interesting info here

Today’s question comes from Vikram Rajan, again, who is determined to make up for yesterday’s question! Identify both and connect.

Well done! I’m absolutely amazed that so many of you guessed Sarah Palin, ignoring the possibly crucial…
The person in the second visual created a work that was inspired by the most famous work by the person depicted in the first visual. However, their titles seem almost opposite.

Whose statue is this? (Spelling important) Moses Cleaveland, who founded the U.S. city of Cleveland, which was later named after him. Cracked by two people only – Thejaswi Udupa and Raghuvansh.

Today’s question comes from Meera Krishnaswamy, a long time QFI member, and former semi-finalist on ‘Mastermind India’ (Topics: ‘Friends, the TV show – Seasons 1-6’ and ‘Indian Test Victories Abroad’).

Identify both guys. What connects them? ‘Fritz the Cat’. Robert Crumb (Visual 1) created the character and Ralph Bakshi (Visual 2) made the hit 1972 movie based on the comic books.
