Okay... one by one.

It's a live album of a band whose name begins with M. It was released with a new band member, who had, as of then, not appeared on a studio album.

The NIN member is Ilan Rubin, the drummer.

I come from Dresden, Germany.

Elite · « **Reply #1439 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:23:59 PM »

E5: Dresden Dolls - No, Virginia

The rest doesn't exist.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1440 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:33:36 PM »

Correct with No, Virginia.

And I'm pretty sure that they exist... *extensive websearch*
Okay, C5 definitely exists, but FUCK ME! E4 seems to be an alternate/fan-made/whatever cover. Sorry for the mess-up, it was supposed to be Megadeth - Blood in the Water.

Elite · « **Reply #1441 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:36:26 PM »

Yeah, I should have just said E4.

C5 does exist probably, but I couldn't find it.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1442 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:43:38 PM »

Aw. I shoulda gotten that one.

I love them.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1443 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:46:29 PM »

Did you check out Amanda Palmer's side-project Evelyn Evelyn? I really liked it, both in terms of the story and the music, especially that it was more guitar-oriented, something that worked surprisingly well, actually.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1444 on:** June 27, 2012, 12:57:38 PM »

I haven't checked that out yet. I'll have to give it a try soon.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1445 on:** June 27, 2012, 01:59:25 PM »

C5 Angels & Airwaves I -Empire

Scorpion · « **Reply #1446 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:00:41 PM »

Si.

Mine's done. LLTWM, the stage is all yours.

EDIT: I think that I remember a few from your Top 50 album list, but I can't be bothered to check right now.

wolfking · « **Reply #1447 on:** June 27, 2012, 04:26:42 PM »

I didn't even know you could get a cd version of Blood on the Water, I only have the DVD.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1448 on:** June 27, 2012, 11:34:16 PM »

We gonna need some hints?

Yeah, you can't (I think). I failed massively there, using this, which isn't a real cover anyway.

Yeah, that'd be cool.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1450 on:** June 28, 2012, 12:50:11 AM »

Well since it's early I'll post the genre of every remaining one:

A1: Kind of hard to categorize. It's electronic, but very unique. Sort of ambient, sorta noise. This is veryy different from the rest of his work.
A2: Folk rock
A3: Electronic. Kind of like ambient and dance colliding.
A4: Tough. It's rock, but not sure what kind.
A5: Trip-hop

B2: Post-rock
B3: Indie
B5: Trip-hop

C1: Celtic folk
C2: Indie folk
C3: Classic rock
C5: Lo-fi indie

D2: Avant-garde jazz
D3: Electro-swing
D4: Dubstep

E3: Jazzy experimental singer-songwriter kinda stuff
E4: Zeuhl
E5: Goth synth rock kinda stuff

Scorpion · « **Reply #1451 on:** June 28, 2012, 12:55:47 AM »

Okay, I think that I'll have to pass that one up. None of that music is anything that I am particularly knowledgable in, nor that I enjoy all that much.

Sorry.

wolfking · « **Reply #1452 on:** June 28, 2012, 03:25:30 AM »

The only help these clues give me is that I'm never going to guess any of these covers so I shouldn't waste my time.

Yup.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1455 on:** June 30, 2012, 01:27:19 PM »

C3 Loreena McKennit- book of secrets.

That's probably me done too judging by those genres.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1456 on:** June 30, 2012, 01:57:29 PM »

Jeez, I try to diversify from the norm and this happens.

Oh well, that is correct. I'll probably just give away the answers in a bit unless someone else comes in. If anyone else does come in, here are hints for them:

A1: 2011 album by Brazilian electronic artist.
A2: British folk singer-songwriter. Initials are FT.
A3: 1994 double album by British electronic duo. I pimped these guys in a thread once, and this is on /mu/'s list of essential electronic albums.
A4: This female artist was more prominent in the 90s, but still writes music. Has won and been nominated for many awards.
A5: Arguably the highest regarded trip-hop album of all time, other than Mezzanine by Massive Attack.

B2: Final album by the inventors of post-rock. They were synthpop earlier in their career and made a song that was made more famous by No Doubt.
B3: Kind of the pinnacle of "hipster" albums. Any conversation about this album seems to influence talk of hipsters.
B5: Debut of arguably the most important group in trip-hop.

C2: Sophomore album of this indie folk band released in 2011. Not Bon Iver.
C3: An incredibly famous and highly acclaimed artist. His initials are DB.
C5: Lo-fi indie band by elementary school teacher. Known for rarely writing songs over 3 minutes in length. The #1 ranked indie album of all time on Amazon.

D2: Known for having an actual dead man on the cover. This album is sometimes credited as a band of the same name as the album, and sometimes credited to a very prolific avant-garde composer. You can see an N.
D4: Debut of this dubstep artist. Not "WUBWUBWUB" dubstep, the more subtle kind. His sophomore album is much more well known.

E3: Highly-regarded album by an artist known for having an incredibly low, raspy voice.
E4: First album by the inventors of the Zeuhl genre. Yes that's a swastika there. If you don't know what Zeuhl is, try a google search and you'll end up finding the band and the album.
E5: I don't know what to say except Zander (Ravenheart) would likely kick your asses if you do not get this.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1457 on:** June 30, 2012, 02:20:12 PM »

B5 Massive Attack - Blue lines. this was one I recognised but couldn't find.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1462 on:** July 01, 2012, 02:47:59 PM »

All of them right.

I'll reveal the remainder soon if no one gets any.
