[pg1067]

Bonus points for knowing who the child pictured in E2 is without looking it up.

Jack?

No of course not, no way he was born then haha.

Nope.

Almost right Kade-  it was another son whose name escapes me right now.

Close enough.  It's Louis Osbourne, Ozzy's soon with his first wife Thelma.  Jack wasn't born until four years after Diary was released.

I didn't even know until recently that Ozzy had two kids with Thelma and that he adopted Thelma's son from a prior relationship.

[wolfking]

Ah, I'll take that.  Yeah, I remember seeing that Louis a few times in that Osbournes show years back.

[wolfking]

Keen to know what C1 is, dunno what the hint would mean though.

[jingle.boy]

The picture in C3 is ______?  If it's still unsolved by the time I get up, I'll give a hint that even a shaved monkey could figure it out with.

[Kwyjibo]

Oh, f*ck me sideways, that's Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick 

I almost had a sleepless night because of this.

Oh damn! I should've got that, it was one of my Dad's all time favourite albums! He used it as his password for stuff for years 

[wolfking]

h, I never would have got that haha.

I'm gonna try to knock one of these up later. I'll try to cover all genres and decades so there should be something for everyone.

Obviously if someone is ready to go before I post then go for it. This is addictive as hell.

[Crow]

I've got another game idea I wanna put together when I get home, might be a fun one too 

[twosuitsluke]

Ok, I've finished mine. What's the best site to upload it to so I can link it?

[Crow]

I like https://postimages.org as an image hosting site myself

[twosuitsluke]

Here we go guys, hopefully not too easy or too hard.

As my Dad always said "It's only easy if you know the answers."

nope

[Crow]

Considering I don't recognize a single one I'm going with "too hard"

[Elite]

Oooh yes D4 is The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land

[twosuitsluke]

Oooh yes D4 is The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land

Yea dude.

There aren't too many obvious DTF bands in this one, I'll be honest. There are definitely a few albums you should know Parama

[lonestar]

E5 looks like half of a stormtrooper mask. That's all I got.

[twosuitsluke]

I'd say there are about 6 bands that I see mentioned, at least moderately frequently, around these parts (depending which threads you read, of course).

Which implies 19 bands not mentioned - at least moderately - frequently.   

B2 looks like something I'd listen to.

The majority is in the realms of rock/metal and it's sub-genres. There's thrash, doom, sludge, power, industrial, battle, black, death, progressive and post-metal covered here.

There's nothing too obscure here that no one on the forum will have heard of them.

[wolfking]

B2: Angra - Aqua

[jingle.boy]

B2: Angra - Aqua

Told ya.   

[wolfking]

Yeah, this is a hard one.

[Nekov]

Maybe it's not the album choice but rather the size/area of the crops, it's hard to make anything out of some of those. D3 looks really familiar.

[pg1067]

I don't think these are right, but A3 looks like Van Halen - Fair Warning, and E4 looks like Yes - Fragile.

Yeah it's more this than anything else, I'm sure i probably would recognize more of these since apparently I should 

[twosuitsluke]

Well when I originally cropped the images they were slightly bigger. When I used the site that Tomislav suggested, and clicked on auto-collage it did this. I lost a bit from each image but thought I'd go with it.

I won't have time to edit it tonight but I can do it tomorrow if people are struggling.

I don't think it's that I just think you've done quite a job mate and we can't place anything, unless you think we should be getting some of these already?

[twosuitsluke]

I don't know. I tried A) not to go for obvious albums and B) not to show the part of the cover that would give it away too easy. I tried to make it a challenge but may have gone too far 

[twosuitsluke]

Also, I'm pretty sure one of these was in Elite's top 50 albums  it must be too hard if even he didn't spot it.

[wolfking]

D1's not The Great Cold Distance is it by Katatonia?

[wolfking]

I think E2 is a Sikth album.  Future in Whose Eyes I think it's called.  Don't know much from the band but the cover I remember.
