I have never heard of this band.

And?

Nothing, nothing at all.

I'd love to make one, but the only editing program I have is unusable. You can't delete anything unless you're deleting everything and you can't move or resize anything.

I use GIMP, a free program: https://www.gimp.org/

I love making these, but it's getting a lot harder to find albums well-known enough, since I don't repeat albums that other people have posted. I guess I could reuse stuff, but just different parts of the covers.

I also like doing these very much, the problem is that my way of listening to music is rather listening to a certain band or album a lot rather than listening to a lot of different stuff (in result I know much less bands that people mostly do here), so unfortunately repeating bands from my previous puzzles is inevitable...

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #984 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:16:53 PM »

I'll dl that.

Looking through the charts on https://rateyourmusic.com/ can give you a lot of ideas about different kinds of bands that are popular or well-regarded. You can look through different years, or by genre, etc.

Downloaded GIMP.

I'll start on one now if that's okay.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #987 on:** October 15, 2011, 04:40:45 PM »

Go for it. I'm expecting a VDGG cover in there somewhere.

Was hoping this one would last longer. Maybe my Leg End avatar provoked thought.

How could I not get this one...

I think this game is harder then people think, if the creator uses a very 'odd' piece of the cover, it might be really hard to get, even if it's one of your favorite albums.

Like recently when A Farewell To Kings was one of the last albums to go!

The only one I knew instantly. The colour did it for me.

Yeah, I tried to throw people off a bit with the Signify and Yanqui ones.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1001 on:** October 17, 2011, 03:33:42 PM »

Any more guessers? Or am I gonna have to put up hints?

Zantera · « **Reply #1002 on:** October 18, 2011, 01:53:22 AM »

I feel like some of them are familiar, but nothing pops up. :/

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #1003 on:** October 18, 2011, 01:38:01 PM »

hints plz

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1004 on:** October 18, 2011, 02:24:40 PM »

A3: American post-rock supergroup. Album with incredibly long song names.
C1: Project of DTF's most beloved man with glasses.
C4: From a very depressing band. I'm sure Seth would get this one for sure.
D4: Marked a huge change in style for this famous metal band.

Mladen · « **Reply #1005 on:** October 19, 2011, 12:43:44 AM »

A3: Red Sparowes - Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun

Zantera · « **Reply #1008 on:** October 19, 2011, 02:50:47 AM »

Just when I figured out that it was I.E.M, I had already been beaten to it. :/
Should have gotten Red Sparowes as well.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1009 on:** October 19, 2011, 02:58:23 PM »

Any takers for C4?

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1010 on:** October 20, 2011, 04:55:33 PM »

Okay, I guess not.

C4 is Red House Painters - Rollercoaster (or Red House Painters I, whatever you wish to call it)

jag66 · « **Reply #1011 on:** October 22, 2011, 01:38:20 PM »

I've made one - dunno if there's a queue or anything?

Pols Voice · « **Reply #1012 on:** October 22, 2011, 01:48:16 PM »

Post it!

jag66 · « **Reply #1013 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:39:23 PM »

I think these might be pretty easy, but it's quite hard to tell when you make your own!

Zantera · « **Reply #1014 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:44:19 PM »
