The "Let's see if Twosuitsluke can guess your favourite artist/album" game.

[Glasser]

I think my favorite band/artist is pretty obvious yeah. My favorite album is a more controversial one, but it hasn't changed in over a decade.

I'll have a think on your favourite artist. As for album, The Astonishing hasn't been out 10 years yet

I hate that album, but you're actually not too far off.

I have a few guesses.... I'll pm you.

[Revenge319]

You might be able to guess mine pretty easily, let's see how this goes.

[nick_z]

Curious to see if you guess mine…not very hard, actually…favorite album is not by my favorite band (although among the very favorites, for sure)

Mentioned  several times, not sure if in threads you frequent the most, though.

Fire away!

[twosuitsluke]

My RYM will definitely help you narrow it down if you don't know.

I'm not going to cheat, but is your favourite Porcupine Tree or some shit?

Close! They're one of my favorite bands and I've got one of their albums in my top five.

Hmmmm, I'm honestly unsure about your favourite. Should it be painfully obvious?

Yes.

You've quoted Buddy. His favourite should be painfully obvious, or yours should be?

Mine.

Dwarves  or Motorhead (which I already guessed above).

No, but here's a HUGE hint. My top singers list.

I had to check, but ewwwwww KISS.

Black Clouds and Silver Linings it is then.

I'm pretty sure yours is Haken or Between the Buried and Me.

Yours is a bit more of a challenge Nick. Probably wrong, but I want to say something like Paradise Lost.

[Revenge319]

You might be able to guess mine pretty easily, let's see how this goes.

I'm pretty sure yours is Haken or Between the Buried and Me.

They're two of my favorites, but neither are my #1.

Dream Theater too obvious?

Mine are probably softballs, hopefully. 

Also, I'm a dumbass and Katatonia has gotta be the front runner for you.

If Lethean posts, I'm getting in there quick and guessing his in advance.

[Kram]

If you look back at my post history you could find mine pretty easily, as I know I've specifically stated this is my favorite artist/band of all time. If you're not looking at past posts, it might be difficult.

And HOF - I'm pretty sure I know who yours is - although BBT would have been my first guess.

[Crow]

Crow, I'd say you are fully in your pop phase, so I don't even know where to begin.

my favorite band as of late has been the paper chase and my favorite album of last year was dissonant death metal so iiiii dunno about that

Yea I'm not looking at past posts, I'm just going off my knowledge based on participating in roulettes and posting in various threads. I have no idea for yours dude as I don't think we post in the same threads often.

You're probably right and I haven't participated in any roulette's.  It's Rush though.

Yea, I'm not really a Rush fan so don't venture into their thread, so it was slim chance I'd get yours I'm afraid.

Dream Theater too obvious?

Yeah, Dream Theater's still my favorite. I don't listen to much Dream Theater these days since there's so much other stuff I want to check out and I have over 90% of their songs memorized front-to-back anyway. But when I do listen to Dream Theater, I still love their music as much as I always have.

[Glasser]

Yes Luke, Kiss.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Is weird jazz shit really a softball? I am honestly unsure for you dude, you like a lot. I'm guessing something melodeath, featuring either Jeff Loomis or Dan Swanö 

Considering I know people who actually like a lot of the real "weird jazz shit" (avant-garde and free jazz in particular), I'm not that bonkers, but compared to typical favorites here, probably.  No actual melodeath in my absolute apex favorites, but a few things adjacent to it.  Nevermore is probably my third favorite or so, so that's pretty close.  Nightingale is maybe my sixth favorite or thereabouts, so that's pretty close too, and Dan has other projects like Edge of Sanity which are melodeath at times, so that's not too far off. 

Also, I'm a dumbass and Katatonia has gotta be the front runner for you.

Yeah, that's basically right. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm sure I've mentioned my favorite band and favorite album on more than one occasion on the forums, so this should be easy for you.

[Buddyhunter1]

Black Clouds and Silver Linings it is then.

You know, on a good day that might be my third favorite DT album. It's very underrated. But it's definitely not my favorite.

[Glasser]

I love MANY bands but these are my top 5.

1) Kiss.
2) Ozzy.
3) Judas Priest.
4) Metallica.
5) Black Flag.

[HOF]

And HOF - I'm pretty sure I know who yours is - although BBT would have been my first guess.

It’s close, actually. I probably am more enthusiastic about BBT right now just because they are a little less well known and a little more active. I just have a longer history with this other band, who are well known in these parts but just don’t seem to generate a ton of discussion.

[wolfking]

Have at it.  Should be pretty easy and I've mentioned both my fav band and album quite a number of times.

Paradise Lost is in my top 5, so that’s an excellent guess. But no, not my favorite.

Both my favorite album and band (which, again, is different) are not shockers for DTF, I’d say

[SoundscapeMN]

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned these several times (Artist, Band, Album, and Concert even), but give it a go if you wish.

You've got a pretty varied taste dude and honestly I'm not even sure where to begin. Give us a hint?

hmm...I've gone over all of them at points on My YouTube channel over the last couple of years, but maybe more clear for some of it is found in My Lists Topic.

[Zydar]

I've mentioned my favourite band here a couple of times, let's see if you can find out. Don't think I've mentioned my favourite album though (there's two that can claim that title).

[twosuitsluke]

Yes Luke, Kiss.

I'm sure I've mentioned my favorite band and favorite album on more than one occasion on the forums, so this should be easy for you.

Moonsorrow for the band. Album? That Marillion one where the kid is holding marbles up to his eyes. Next!

Black Clouds and Silver Linings it is then.

You know, on a good day that might be my third favorite DT album. It's very underrated. But it's definitely not my favorite.

I personally love it too, definitely a top 5 Dream Theater release. Are we talking a controversial Dream Theater release for you?

Have at it.  Should be pretty easy and I've mentioned both my fav band and album quite a number of times.

Your top 5 artists are all Winger? Album, not sure but Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe is up there.

Dream Theater by any chance? 

I've mentioned my favourite band here a couple of times, let's see if you can find out. Don't think I've mentioned my favourite album though (there's two that can claim that title).

Easily The Beatles as your favourite band. I'll say Abbey Road as the album, but that may be too obvious.

Yes, you're right (on both accounts!). The other favourite album is Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. I'm impressed.

I feel like you've mentioned The Beatles a lot, and as a fellow fan, it stuck with me. I think it helps me remember who everyone is on DTF if I remember what they love. It's also something that helps in roulettes, as knowing your host is important, not that I've ever been able to win more than one!

[ariich]

I don't think I even have a single favourite artist, but I'm sure you could pick out a selection that I love.

Family ties aside? Haken is an obvious one. As for a selection, how about Frank Turner, The Dear Hunter and Nobuo Uematsu.

I love Uematsu but wouldn't put him up there as an absolute favourite. The other three, yes. Other good choices would have been Insomnium, Pain of Salvation, Anathema, Gacharic Spin.

You should reevaluate your stance on Uematsu 

To be fair, I wouldn't have guessed those other 4 as your absolute favourites, so I've learnt something there.

[wolfking]

I mean, he's on the long list of favourites in my RYM page! But if I have to whittle it down to a half-dozen or so really top favourites, a minimum requirement is to have at least one 10/10 album.

I did say it would be a shit show. You haven't denied Winger being your favourite, so I win.

That's OK, he's got multiple! I'm mainly counting the first two Distant Worlds albums and the first Black Mages album (even though it's technically a solo Uematsu album). Not to mention the FFVI & VII soundtracks being the pinnacle of a video game soundtrack to me.

I like the first three Distant Worlds albums but at more of an 8/10 level than 10/10. I have given him a 9/10 though, for the Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec arrangements of FFVIII music, that's a hell of a great disc.

Not quite as good as the ones I mentioned, for me, but still a hell of an album.

[soupytwist]

So about 50% of my posting is in the Star Trek thread, which means my favorite album must be 'The Transformed Man' by William Shatner, right?  Wrong.  I think I may have mentioned it here a few times, but how much deep diving into the posting history of someone who talks Star Trek 50% of the time is up to you!

This is exactly what I'm talking about! I have never (and probably never will) set foot in the Star Trek thread, so have missed half your posts 

Just saying though, if Arnold Rimmer was in Star Trek, I'd be way more likely to watch.

I'm not going into people's post history dude, just going off my own knowledge and memory. I'm completely drawing a blank for you. Any hints? You're from the UK right? That gonna give me any leads?
