As predicted, that did me no help. Nothing I have from 2011 matches B5; Greek one doesn't seem to be Firewind, and I don't know any other Greek metal bands. Star Wars reference wasn't Silent Force.

I'm out.

Scorpion · « **Reply #2628 on:** October 19, 2012, 10:44:01 AM »

I thought that the Greek one was Theocracy, but it isn't either.

Do we need more hints or have I made it too difficult?

Care to try the trick I did?? Expanding the images... I did 200x200.

Hints expanded. It was my birthday yesterday, so I wasn't on DTF most of the time, sorry for the wait.

Happy bloody birthday my friend!

B4: Persona Non Grata - Quantum Leap

wolfking · « **Reply #2637 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:09:52 AM »

Can't get any others.

Thank you!

Persona Non Grata is right (obviously), but are the others too difficult then? I might go with jingle's suggestion, to expand the artwork snippets.

wolfking · « **Reply #2639 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:21:27 AM »

Don't know if that will help, but go for it.

Elite · « **Reply #2640 on:** October 22, 2012, 05:24:26 AM »

I'll do it when I'm back home tonight, I have lots of stuff to do with little spare time today..

Elite · « **Reply #2641 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:20:38 AM »

Everything that's left, now with bigger pictures:

A1 (formerly A2): The Strawbs - From the Witchwood (Lowdz)
A2 (formerly A3): Second album by a contemporary progressive metal band. The band hails from England, has a female singer and does lots of vocal harmonies between the singer and their guitarist. The band doesn't really get talked about here.
B1 (formerly B2): The Orb (feat. David Gilmour) - Metallic Spheres (wolfking)
B2 (formerly B5): Released in 2011, band consists mostly of women, the album snippet is the bottom right corner. Star Wars reference.

I hope this will make it doable. I'll update the hints once more when this doesn't prove to be successful.

wolfking · « **Reply #2642 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:40:43 AM »

B1: Orb - Metallic Spheres

Elite · « **Reply #2643 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:43:43 AM »

wolfking · « **Reply #2644 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:46:01 AM »

Dunno the rest.

Elite · « **Reply #2645 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:47:06 AM »

Ahw, shiitt. Anyone for at least The bottom right one? That album got talked about a lot when it was released. We have at least a couple of avid fans of the band. Here's another hint; Star Wars reference. Go!

wolfking · « **Reply #2646 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:52:03 AM »

I'm out.

Elite · « **Reply #2647 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:55:01 AM »

When you give up, I suppose I've made it too difficult

wolfking · « **Reply #2648 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:09:03 AM »

Tell me, do you think any of the remaining three are bands that one should know well?

Elite · « **Reply #2649 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:21:32 AM »

No.
A1 is a very unknown band nowadays, but this keyboard player who played in it is known by virtually everyone that's remotely into prog. I must say, he was only in the band for this one album, though he was featured on the one before as well.
A2 is an unknown band, one you've only heard of if you have heard of them, I figured this would be one of the last to go.
B2 is relatively unknown, but does have a following and is mentioned quite often on this forum.

Lowdz · « **Reply #2650 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:43:01 AM »

A1 The Strawbs- From the Witchwood

Hey I got one!

Elite · « **Reply #2651 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:46:12 AM »

You did indeed! Finally

jingle.boy · « **Reply #2652 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:57:51 AM »

Yeah.... I got nothing.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #2653 on:** October 24, 2012, 03:22:47 PM »

Well, if Lowdz and wolfie are out, I'd say you made it too hard for this crop (double entendre fully intended).

Give more obvious hints... like the answers.

I'll work on one tonight mayhap.

wolfking · « **Reply #2654 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:18:52 PM »

Yeah, I got nothing.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #2655 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:25:25 PM »

I shoulda been able to get the Strawbs one.

Lowdz · « **Reply #2656 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:26:04 PM »

Quote from: wolfking on October 24, 2012, 04:18:52 PM

Yeah, I got nothing.

I'm ready for a new challenge. Beat me. I think I new two and they both went before I got to the game!

wolfking · « **Reply #2657 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:28:01 PM »

You know, the one with the castle has looked familiar to me since the start of the game, but it's probably just a coincidence since I can't work it out.

Ditto.

Elite · « **Reply #2659 on:** October 24, 2012, 05:04:33 PM »

I'm not sure I know how I could make it easier for the remaining 2. A2 probably won't be guessed if it hasn't been so far and a brief search throughout these forums show the band hasn't been talked about more than about 3 mentions, one of which is in my OP in my Roulette (as a band forbidden to send). B2 surprises me to take so long. If you look closely there's small rays of light coming from the middle of the artwork; this is the bottom right corner, there's a girl, very clearly in the middle of the artwork. Again, the band has it's own thread here and the bandname is a very obvious Star Wars reference.
