| Deleted User | Actually, it's a pretty common misconception that the title contains the word "no" instead of "know." You'd be amazed how many people make the same mistake.

Everybody happy with the Topic Post now? Any more "improvements" needed? Maybe some flashing neon lights? Dancing hamsters? :
yes, i'd suggest the following improvement: make a rankings table with the ppl who guess the covers... then put flashing neon lights around the first one and a dancing hamster next to the last one...
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Is that it for guesses for me for another 24 hours?
I have a question too. Will you ever have 2 albums by the same band in one of these contests?

| Deleted User | Val: The field is open now... go for it. And while some bands will be repeated in different quizzes, no band will appear twice in the same quiz. And, of course, your answers are correct.

Sounds binary. I would have sworn 1 was Heep, as in Uriah, and 11 was Rush. Argh!
So tell me the title of this album and the artist, and the year it was released....

Status : Offline | Thanks BacJim! I wish more people had participated though.
Maybe the next one will be harder (I better shutup!)
Your sound samples makes me think of an idea for another trivia contest! Like "name that tune" - short samples of songs and then people have to guess the song. That would be fun!

| Deleted User | The quizzes get harder. Quiz #5 is actually entitled "The Killer." The hints get harder too. Some are very short guitar riffs. Or drum riffs. Or keyboard riffs. Some are from songs by the same artist but a different album, thus STILL making you think/research.
