All Things Fall Down is the third studio album by Stig O'Hara. This album featured songs by Stig that Ron Nasty and Dirk McQuickly hated and therefore, did not allow to be put on any one of their albums. It is a triple album with two discs of his songs and the third of recordings of Stig jamming with friends.

For many years, Stig was restricted in his songwriting contributions to the Rutles' albums, but he released All Things Fall Down, a triple album with two discs of his songs and the third of recordings of Stig jamming with friends. The album was regarded by many as his best work, and it topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The number-one hit single "My Sweet Rut" and the top-ten single "What Is A Wife" were taken from the album. The musicians who played on the album included Barry Wom, Clapton, and Billy The Pirate. On its release, All Things Fall Down was received with critical acclaim, and is often considered to be one of the best solo Rutles albums.
