    And if 13 isn't Dire Straits, then it must be Metallica's Ride the Lightning.

    Bingo.
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Man, I feel moron-ish

    #11 Tooth and Nail - Dokken
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    #13, Metallica, "Ride the Lightning"?
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    D'oh.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Dokken is correct as well.
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    Anyone have a clue what the theme is?
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    The theme is a lot more obvious and simple than you might suspect.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    That's long enough, time for some CLUES:

    4. They're pretty. And odd.
    9. You guys are kidding, right? Guaranteed everyone playing this game owns at least one album by this band. This one came out a couple years ago.
    15. "Kelly Clarkson!"
    17. Power pop band that received mega airplay during MTV's first year.
    21. UK pop band, once pegged to be big like U2. Never happened, but they're not bad.
    Puzzle: Figure out the theme, and you have the album title.
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Didn’ t we get #15 and #17 just before the first update? I think you just missed ‘em as you were typing up the first update.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Ah, right you are. Totally missed 'em. Thanks.

    Panic at the Disco is correct, too.
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Yeah man, it's so rare I ever know any of these - I want my credit!!! :-)
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    #4: Well, then that would be "Pretty. Odd." by Panic at the Disco!
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    Someone already guessed 17, I think.
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    And 15.
  • kingpervus · 3 months ago
    #9 Cheap Trick - Rockford
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Cheap Trick is correct. Still no clues on the theme?
  • kingpervus · 3 months ago
    Theme - "Quartet" Ultravox
  • kmbone · 3 months ago
    I don't own any Cheap Trick albums. Maybe that's why I'm not as good at this game as I'd like to be.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Ding ding ding! Ultravox and "Quartet" is correct. Nicely done.
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Well, by the name on the key fob, I would guess the final band recorded this album at Sawmills Studios. And since the only people I know that recorded there were Oasis and Robert Plant (neither of which fit your clue) I went to their site to see who recorded there. Mostly bands I have never heard of. A few Wiki searches later and I give up.
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Oh, and I was talking about #21 if anybody didn't get that . . .
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    It's Razorlight's first album Up All Night, and if it's any indication, I didn't even recognize the cover when I looked at all the clues today. :)
  • ozarkmatt · 3 months ago
    Cool. So I was right, its a band my classic rock listening ears have never heard of. But it wasn't recorded at Sawmills, so I was wrong - and I call fraud on that band for that key fob on the cover!!

    Good game, see ya next week . . .
