question: Which band co-found by Michelle Phillips dissolved in the same decade as the release of her solo album Victim of Romance?
answer: The Mamas & the Papas
context: Title: Tomcats Screaming Outside
  Passage: Tomcats Screaming Outside is the first solo album from British musician Roland Orzabal of the group Tears for Fears, and was released on 2 April 2001.  Although Orzabal had effectively made two solo albums under the Tears for Fears moniker in the 1990s (following the departure of bandmate Curt Smith), this was the first recording to be released under his own name.  This album was Orzabal's last to feature contributions from Alan Griffiths, who co-wrote most of the tracks on this album as well as the previous two Tears for Fears albums.  The album was given a low-key release and did not chart, but earned some critical acclaim for its clever melding of pop songwriting and drum 'n bass, ambient techno and trip hop textures.  Dan Gennoe claimed in Amazon.com's editorial review: "Solo album or not, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" is the best Tears for Fears album in a decade."
  Title: Michelle Phillips
  Passage: Michelle Phillips (born Holly Michelle Gilliam; June 4, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter and actress.  A native of California, she met and married John Phillips in San Francisco as a teenager, and went on to co-found the vocal group The Mamas & the Papas in 1965.  The band rose to fame with their popular singles "California Dreamin'" and "Creeque Alley", both of which Phillips co-wrote.  They released five studio albums before their dissolution in 1970.  Phillips is the last surviving original member of the group.
  Title: Chynna Phillips
  Passage: Chynna Gilliam Phillips (born February 12, 1968) is an American singer and actress, better known for being a member of Wilson Phillips.

  Title: Cochin Moon
  Passage: Cochin Moon (コチンの月 , Kochin no Tsuki ) is Haruomi Hosono's fifth solo album.  Initially intended as a collaboration with illustrator Tadanori Yokoo, who traveled to India alongside Hosono (as part of a group) for inspiration; Yokoo ended up only drawing the cover, having been the worst victim of an outburst of severe diarrhea amongst the group during the trip, rendering this as a Hosono solo album.  "Cochin Moon" was conceptually written as the soundtrack of a non-existent Bollywood film, a trait inspired by the artists' trip.  The album includes performances by Tin Pan Alley keyboardist Hiroshi Satō and Yellow Magic Orchestra members Ryuichi Sakamoto & Hideki Matsutake.  Despite being Hosono's first completely electronic solo album (at the time YMO's debut was still being recorded, making this Hosono's first electronic album to be released), the exotica feel of Hosono's previous solo work is still present.  The first half of the album (named after an Indian hotel that the group was in for the trip, a picture of the hotel's front appears in the back of the album's packaging) consists of three thematically themed songs, the second half of the album (and Hosono's keyboard performance) is credited to "Shuka Nishihara" (西原朱夏 ) , a pseudonym Hosono created as a play on Hakushū Kitahara's pseudonym.
  Title: Creeque Alley
  Passage: “Creeque Alley” is an autobiographical hit single written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and composed by John Phillips, in 1967, narrating the story of how the group was formed, and its early years.

  Passage: Cass Elliot (born Ellen Naomi Cohen; September 19, 1941 – July 29, 1974), also known as Mama Cass, was an American singer and actress, best known as a member of the Mamas & the Papas.  After the group broke up, she released five solo albums.

  Title: Naked and Sacred
  Passage: Naked and Sacred is Chynna Phillips' debut (and to date only) solo album, released in November 1995 three years after her departure from the pop group Wilson Phillips.  She was the only member of the group to remain on her label, EMI, after they went on an indefinite break in late 1992.  It was released on November 7, 1995 in the U.S. and was a commercial failure, selling only 22,000 copies in the United States according to Billboard.com.  Chynna co-wrote 9 of the 11 tracks, featuring productions from Rick Nowels, Glen Ballard (who produced the majority of Wilson Phillips' previous work), and Desmond Child.  According to Chynna, she was offered $1 million to record a solo album for EMI, and was dropped shortly after due to the album's disappointing sales.

  Title: People Like Us (The Mamas &amp; the Papas album)
  Passage: People Like Us is the fifth and final studio album released by The Mamas & the Papas, in November 1971 (three years after the group originally split).  This album came to be because the former members of the group were still under contract with Dunhill Records.  The group had originally been signed to the label when it was run by their original producer Lou Adler, but by 1971, Dunhill's distributor, ABC Records, had purchased the label and discovered the clause in the group's original contract.  According to their contract, the group had to produce one more album, or else be in breach of contract and subject to possible fines.  Although the album has some memorable songs, it is considered a disappointment by fans and critics.  Nevertheless, the album sold moderately well.  (#84 on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart.)  It was produced by John Phillips.  Michelle Phillips wrote later in the liner note of a Mamas & Papas CD compilation that the album "sounded like what it was, four people trying to avoid a lawsuit".
  Title: Victim of Romance
  Passage: Victim of Romance is singer and songwriter Michelle Phillips' first and only solo album, and was released in February 1977 (see 1977 in music).
