I think this is probably a collaborative thing, where you post the names of the albums - or the letters - here, and the winner is the first to get the constructed album title.

S...O...S
T...C...U

Thats 4 letters and an apostrophe so far.

2. = Led Zeppelin III

.

^ Heavens above! I actually owned that one and didn't recognise it.


That number 4 is familiar too - I hate this quiz!

For Number 4, I've checked: Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Weezer, Primus, and quite a few others from that time period.

Before the latest Zep hint, I had already checked all US and UK Number One Billboard albums in the history of mankind, and none of those have an apostrophe and three O's in the title.

I'll give you the year of release for the remaining ones....

4 - 2010
7 - 1967
8 - 1994
9 - 2004

Number 8, actually, is not an album I know, although it is by a big band. I wanted to broaden the reference of the game beyond the stuff I'm personally familiar with. Subsequent research, however, suggests that, although the band's well-known, the album might be a bit obscure. So, here's an alternative Clue 8.

OHHHHHH FFFFFFF....iddlesticks!

I just realised I left a letter out! Damn!

Well, at least you hadn't got so far down the track that you'd've been misled by its absence - I hope. Sorry though. Here's the missing letter....

I should have changed the game, by saying the winner is the person who figures out the missing letter.

The alternative 8 is Crosby, Stills and Nash

The extra one is Hard Promises by Tom Petty

7. Their satanic family requests - by The Rolling Stones. Which I had never heard of.
9. Up all night by Razor light.
4. Sea of cowards by The Dead Weather.


As you may have gathered I have found a suitable site for this kind of thing.

Their Satanic Majesties Request - but close enough.

What was the site?

Well, I got it, thanks to Mick and his handy site:

School's Out by Jimmy Reed.

(Mark really put together a wonderful barrel of fun this time!)

Ah see, there was your mistake when you were going through Billboard Number Ones. An album of the same name by a less hip group hit number two in the US and UK, but reached number one in Canada.

Yes. Alas, I knew I had cooped myself up with that particular technique--but it was all that Wikipedia had to offer.



EDIT: I'll try to have the next one up reasonably soon... It'll be in the same vein as yours, but it might take some work to keep it from being too easy (or near impossible).
