Glad to see someone got it without even a hint! 

[wolfking]

yeah, recognized that one instantly.  Might need some hints for the rest though. 

[Lowdz]

D4: Live - Throwing Copper

Ahh yes. Was bugging me. Knew I knew it. I know the one with the black dress and pearls too but can't place it.

[wolfking]

Hints please? 

[WebRaider]

I put one together but cut me some slack some may be too small or too large. I'll give hints if necessary but I was kind and kept all albums to the rock/metal etc. genres.

This clicked at the word "political" - is E2 Emotive by A Perfect Circle? That tiny skyline bit in the bottom right corner.

That's correct!

[Scorpion]

B5 is Songs from a Haunted House, I'm pretty sure.

UPDATED HINTS!!!


B1: Album that blends thrash and groove metal genres. Were at their biggest in the early to mid 90's, the band recently released a new album.

B5: Quite successful album blending psychedelic rock, dub and reggae influences. Band is more well known amongst the roots rock and indie scenes.

C2: This was the debut album from this "robot rock" band (not daft punk). They settled on their band name after initially calling themselves something else and being threatened with a lawsuit from a now fairly prominent power metal band.

D1: An alt-rock supergroup of sorts,  their only record. Famous lead member used an alias during the project which also happens to be the real name of an actor in the "Twilight" movie series.

[WebRaider]

Come on DTF, I know you can get these last few. I have another game prepared to put up next. I'm trying to to not to have to give these last few away but even if you didn't know these four you could likely google the info and get them.

[Pols Voice]

D1: Zwan - Mary Star of the Sea

[WebRaider]

D1: Zwan - Mary Star of the Sea

Woot!   

[Pols Voice]

C2: Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age

[WebRaider]

C2: Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age

Correct again


I'll wait on the last two for tonight and then if no one gets them I'll give up the ghost on them and start the new game tomorrow.

[Pols Voice]

B1: Prong - Beg to Differ

[Scorpion]

I already listed B5 like a few posts above. It's "Songs from a Haunted House" by Jad Fair & Gilles-Vincent Rieder.

[Pols Voice]

Um, no it's not. Look again.

I searched for B5 for a while, but had no luck. Sorry, WebRaider!

[Scorpion]

You're right. Sorry, my bad. The colouring was so similar and the genre stuff kinda fit.

Nevermind, carry on. I've got no more ideas.

[WebRaider]

Great job to get those last few minus B5, Pols... B5 is : My Morning Jacket - Z


Now that we have finished that one up, I'll be back momentarily with the next game.

[jingle.boy]

Good... maybe I'll know something.  From your last list, I have 1 album - and not even a very good one that gets any airplay from me.

[WebRaider]

LOL, well these aren't specifically meant to be albums on a Top 50 list (although there is some really quality stuff in these albums IMO). I personally have heard all of those albums but I mainly put them in that game because I liked the cover or just thought it would be an interesting addition to the Guess the album cover game. I figure if the album is exceptionally popular then it wouldn't be much of a challenge to get.


And the next list probably will be a bit more obscure than the first :/

[WebRaider]

New Game!
