Okay, since I'm leaving for four days today, I will post the solutions now, but in small font, so that people who, I dunno, think that they know a cover or something can still have a go at it. Unlikely, I know, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

A2: Clawfinger - Hate Yourself With Style
B2: Nadja - Radiance of Shadows

Thanks for playing!

If anyone's cool with another puzzle to solve, have at this:

A1 is a debut album
A2: Return To Forever- Where Have I Seen You Before (Pols Voice)
A3: Radiohead- Amnesiac (Mladen)
A4: The Kinks - Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire) (Zydar)
A5: Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation (adace)
B1: Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen (Big Hath)
B2: Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures (adace)
B3: The Cure- Seventeen Seconds (Big Hath)
B4 is a major change in style; some fans love it, others say it's when the band jumped the shark.
B5 is an album which involved Brian Eno
C1: Motorhead - Overkill (Big Hath)
C2: The Who- Who's Next (jingle.boy)
C3 also involved Brian Eno
C4: Queen- Queen II (Lowdz)
C5: Depeche Mode - Violator (Zydar)
D1 is unpopular among its band's fanbase
D2 is not for everyone
D3 is purple, like everything else by its band
D4 is from a couple years ago. Some people love it, others detest it. The word 'hipster' is sometimes tossed around by those who detest it.
D5 is heavy metal
E1: Rush - Permanent Waves (Big Hath)
E2 is by a band that's way popular among normal, non-proghead people
E3 is one of many solo albums by a guitar hero
E4 is from 1975
E5: Joe Satriani- Flying In A Blue Dream (Big Hath)

Mladen · « **Reply #1507 on:** July 09, 2012, 08:46:21 AM »

Wow, that's not an easy one. I know A3 is Radiohead's Amnesiac, and that's it.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1508 on:** July 09, 2012, 08:50:30 AM »

It's all cool, because you're correct.

Zydar · « **Reply #1509 on:** July 09, 2012, 09:16:39 AM »

A4: The Kinks - Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)
C5: Depeche Mode - Violator

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1510 on:** July 09, 2012, 09:20:48 AM »

If your answer was beef, I'd say it's well done.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1511 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:37:52 AM »

Willing to bet I have none of these.

Elite · « **Reply #1512 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:46:18 AM »

B3: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain (?)

Could just as well be wrong, it's what came to mind immediately.
Anyway, I'll take this bet as well:

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1513 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:06:51 AM »

Elite should be sued for false advertisement; he's dead wrong.

I'm not dropping any hints this early, but I will say this: a decent amount of this stuff is mainstream. Like, normal person mainstream.

Big Hath · « **Reply #1514 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:11:50 AM »

E1 - Rush - Permanent Waves

I would recognize those panties anywhere.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1515 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:13:04 AM »

See what I mean?

Big Hath does, at any rate.

kári · « **Reply #1516 on:** July 09, 2012, 11:16:47 AM »

I feel like I should know some of these.

Holy shit you zoomed in pretty tight on those. That's her left elbow there.

Ok, I'll amend my first bet to say 'I'm willing to bet I don't know every grid of a 30x30 matrix of these album covers'

I've stared at those panties as much as the next perv, but I didn't even know what I was looking at there. At first glance I don't know any.

And bugger. Just realised I missed my 2112 post. Damn, was looking forward to making it special.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1523 on:** July 10, 2012, 06:39:30 PM »

Is this the point where people are going to want hints?

Big Hath · « **Reply #1524 on:** July 10, 2012, 06:44:43 PM »

probably - it's been up a day and a half and only 7 have been identified.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1525 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:07:28 PM »

Alright, then:

A1 is a debut album
B1 involves piano and nerdiness
B3 is from 1980 and a second album.
B4 is a major change in style; some fans love it, others say it's when the band jumped the shark.
B5 is an album which involved Brian Eno
~~C1 sounds like every other album by its band.~~
~~C2 is all over classic rock radio~~
C3 also involved Brian Eno
~~C4's cover is way iconic~~
D1 is unpopular among its band's fanbase
D2 is not for everyone
D3 is purple, like everything else by its band
D4 is from a couple years ago. Some people love it, others detest it. The word 'hipster' is sometimes tossed around by those who detest it.
D5 is heavy metal
E2 is by a band that's way popular among normal, non-proghead people
E3 is one of many solo albums by a guitar hero
E4 is from 1975
~~E5 is by a different guitar hero~~

C2: Aerosmith - S/t ?

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1527 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:26:03 PM »

Errorsmith

Big Hath · « **Reply #1528 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:31:06 PM »

B1 - Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen

Big Hath · « **Reply #1529 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:32:31 PM »

B3 - The Cure - Seventeen Seconds

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1530 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:34:48 PM »

You're correct.

Big Hath · « **Reply #1531 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:36:35 PM »

C1 - Motorhead - Overkill

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1532 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:39:49 PM »

3 in a matter of minutes? That's overkill, man.

Big Hath · « **Reply #1533 on:** July 10, 2012, 07:52:41 PM »

E5 - Joe Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1534 on:** July 10, 2012, 08:52:20 PM »

C2 - Who's Next

Whatever is from 1975, isn't in my album collection.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1535 on:** July 10, 2012, 08:54:03 PM »

More good work.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1536 on:** July 11, 2012, 02:25:54 AM »

Gonna take a stab in the dark and say C4 is Queen II. Guessing though.

Lowdz · « **Reply #1537 on:** July 11, 2012, 02:32:25 AM »

E5 could be Satch's Flying In A Blue Dream

edit- whoops, shoulda read all the way down- hints not updated.

No I think you are right. I don't understand Satch being a different guitar hero though ??

EDIT: Didn't look up either. lol

wolfking · « **Reply #1539 on:** July 11, 2012, 04:47:34 AM »

Man, I feel like such a novice, I can't get any of these.
