You can now ask one Yes/No question between updates -- ie, "Is this album from the 1960s?" or "Did this album win a Grammy?" Anything relevant like that. =)

Next:

 

[rudd1]

-I got nothing, bump.

 

[J_Dee]

Hints: this artist isn't from America or Europe. This album came out in the 1990s.

 

[CastleRubric]

oh shite -- very cool thread idea!!

 

[barbourfor3]

Cool thread - why’s it taking so long to post Amorica?

 

[rudd1]

-by America do you mean country or continent?

 

[BC_Wader]

Cool thread - why’s it taking so long to post Amorica?

If you are talking the Crowes, wasn't that album banned by walmart back then?

 

[J_Dee]

-by America do you mean country or continent?

Country. My bad, I should've specified that.

 

[J_Dee]

Hint 3: this album was released in 1997.

 

[rudd1]

-new rule proposal...after 48 hrs @J_Dee gets the point...we know he isn't a dick and won't post super obscure stuff.

 

[J_Dee]

It's Devin Townsend's Ocean Machine: Biomech. =)

The Monkees Headquarters.


I'm very good at guessing songs, but I don't pay that much attention to album covers unless it's a Sergeant Pepper's type cover.

 

[J_Dee]

The Monkees' third album and their third consecutive Billboard number 1 album. =)

No clue.

 

[J_Dee]

Hint 1: this album features a track co-written by a famous author.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Huh. So this is what it feels like to be Calipari. I have all this talent...and yet only one title to show for it.

 

[J_Dee]

Hints: this album is from the 1980s.

 

[rudd1]

-is the album a soundtrack?

 

[J_Dee]

This album isn't a soundtrack.

Martin Birch produced this album.

 

[rudd1]

Blue Oyster Cult-cultosaurus erectus.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

That was difficult.

 

[J_Dee]

Yep. Michael Moorcock co-wrote the opening track, Black Blade, which is about Stormbringer. =)

Rudd is like the UCONN Women of this thread. You are like Stanford. If we are comparing this thread to women's basketball, why not? Gassy was like La Tech, H Lecter was like Baylor with Griner and I am like Texas AM.
