They're all correct.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1338 on:** June 16, 2012, 02:53:43 PM »

I know B5- just can't place it. And I never forget an ass!

Couple of others I'll get with the hints.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1339 on:** June 16, 2012, 03:18:21 PM »

... okay, I wouldn't have thought that you'd know that, based on what I read about your tastes.

Hint for B5 (still to early for hints for everything, I think): two songs off this album where featured in the soundtrack of a car racing game.

Zantera · « **Reply #1340 on:** June 16, 2012, 03:42:49 PM »

C3 - Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (their only good album IMO)

I also feel like I recognize more, but my brain is having a blackout right now.

WebRaider · « **Reply #1341 on:** June 16, 2012, 10:55:24 PM »

Although I've never heard of them...

B5: Hot Action Cop - Hot Action Cop

Scorpion · « **Reply #1342 on:** June 17, 2012, 01:28:16 AM »

Yup.

Yeah, definately not what I was thinking of. Seen something similar but not the same thing.

wolfking · « **Reply #1344 on:** June 17, 2012, 03:59:47 AM »

WebRaider, you may need to post more hints for your last 3, they are hard.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1346 on:** June 17, 2012, 04:28:52 AM »

Yeah, Web, I swear that I've seen A3 somewhere, but I can't place that fucking thing. Another hint would be cool.

Oh, and correct, wolfie.

EDIT: A hint for mine: there's a DT cover somewhere in there.

I know A3 been looking everywhere. I knew it was a classic rock type band and that the cover was unusual for them- just can't find it!

Updated Hints!!!

A3: An album from a band biggest in the late 70's. They hated this album cover...lol (I think it's interesting anyway). A lot of people have considered them a "studio band" they infuse lots of jazz and R&B elements into their music.

C5: Hard to give clues without totally giving it away but it's an album from a Dutch metal band. They are influenced by progressive metal, metalcore, technical death metal and groove metal.

E3: This is a 70's radio rock band's greatest hits album released in 1981. Founded by a former member of The Flying Burrito Brothers.

A3 is the Royal Scam by Steely Dan, isn't it.

They were one of the bands I checked and missed it. Bugger.

Correct. Though I am at loss how you find this shit if you've never heard of them and I didn't yet give hints for that.

No-one got the DT one? And this place calls itself a Dream Theater Fan Forum? Shame on you. You all.

Metro · « **Reply #1354 on:** June 17, 2012, 02:25:29 PM »

D5 - Dream Theater - Once in a LIVETime Outtakes

EDIT: derp, I can't count

Scorpion · « **Reply #1355 on:** June 17, 2012, 02:25:57 PM »

It's D5, though.

I was just going to begin to post hints.

EDIT: Here are some hints for you.

A1: Album by a band that was the former project of a member of a well-known melodic death metal band. They do thrash metal, though.
A3: The first track of this album calls for having sex with an evil entity - the track itself is an instrumental.
A4: This is the latest record of an American deathcore band (according to Wikipedia - I have no idea what classifies as deathcore).
A5: Third record of a very popular rock band. All their album names follow a very boring pattern.

B2: Third album of a band who's drummer once played in a Christian metal band.
B4: Last album before the temporary split of a band that both wolfking and I have talked about quite a bit on these forums.

C2: Album by a Canadian rock band. The title track is a piano-only instrumental of thirty seconds.
C4: Album by a German punk band that has already toured with the Sex Pistols and Bad Religion.
C5: This band became known for their unorthodox covers (song covers, not album covers). This album doesn't feature any covers anymore, though.

D4: Album of a Welsh rock band. This album contains their only number one single on the Alternative Songs chart.

E1: Second album of a Scottish indie rock band. They went on hiatus after this album, but they are to reunite soon.

Hope that helps, though I still can't see many people knowing a lot of this stuff.

wolfking · « **Reply #1356 on:** June 17, 2012, 03:29:04 PM »

B4: Accept - Predator. Duh!

Scorpion · « **Reply #1357 on:** June 17, 2012, 03:35:18 PM »

Quite right, old chap.

Say, what's your opinion on that one? It was the first Accept album I heard, and I still quite like it, but most people don't really like, from what I have heard here and irl.

wolfking · « **Reply #1358 on:** June 17, 2012, 03:39:19 PM »

It's one of the ones I'm less familiar with. Nothing really stuck when I listened to it, so I never really gave it a good chance. It has some great songs. I should pull that one out and have a re-listen.

Scorpion · « **Reply #1359 on:** June 17, 2012, 03:49:59 PM »

Do it. Crucified is pretty cool, imo.
