The first one is done, so now it's time for my second Album Quiz.
I've listed another 41 album titles from the 1980s, divided into three categories. All you have to do is give me the artist/band.

Again, limit = 3 to start with.

Limit is OFF

Good luck everyone! :)


HINTS I: TRACKS FROM THE REMAINING ALBUMS

29: Micro-macro / Skin and skin / Moonlight-lion and sheep / Hands and clouds
35: Interference / Man in someone else's skin / Money and power / Menagerie makers
38: Cowboy man / Farther down the line / This old porch / If I were the man you wanted

In addition to this: #29 is an instrumental album and I don't think anyone on this board has (heard of) it.

HINTS II: INFO ON THE ARTIST(S)

29: Male harpist. No hit singles, and probably unknown to all of you.

Correct on all three, Doc. 8)

Hi Henk,I'll have a stab at a couple.

# 36...Sheena Easton?

#41....King Crimson (one of my favorites)

#30 is by the Style Council and includes what I still think was their best song with "How She Threw it All Away"

#32 is by The Korgis.  This is one album I've been looking to add to my collection for years, but also one that is very hard to find.  Speaking of the Korgis, I loved the dance version of "Everybodys Gotta Learn Sometime" by Marc et Claude, which was called "I Need Your Lovin (Like the Sunshine)"

#33 is by Eddy Grant.  I actually just bought the cassette tape of this last week.  I love that song "Gimme Hope Jo'anna" O0

#4 is Van Halen, that's all

Hi Henk,I'll have a stab at a couple.

# 36...Sheena Easton?

#41....King Crimson (one of my favorites)


Both are correct, Kevin! :)

13. Iggy Pop
18. Y & T

13. Iggy Pop
18. Y & T


Both are correct! :)

[quote author=whis

I think that album has not long been re-released on CD, Jason...so you should still be able to get hold of it...

Hi to you, Henk...

#8. Level 42 (fine piece of work)
#17. Thompson Twins
#40. Loose Ends (the version of Bowie's 'Golden years' which was on this LP, is best forgotten!)




Of course these three are spot-on, Paul, and frankly -


#40. Loose Ends (the version of Bowie's 'Golden years' which was on this LP, is best forgotten!)


... I think the entire album is best forgotten. But that's just me.

#7 -- Simple Minds

#34-- Tom Waits

NozmoKing

#7 -- Simple Minds

#34-- Tom Waits

NozmoKing


Two correct answers, NozmoKing! :)

I've raised the limit to 5.

12. "Aural Sculpture" is by The Stranglers

22.  Assuming there were no other artists with an album by this title, "Sensual Sensation" is an album by the Canadian Hi-NRG duo Lime.  If this is correct, then tell me, did Lime have any hit singles in your charts?

5.  The Ramones

5.  The Ramones


---cornwallis



That is the correct artist, cornwallis. :)

You assume correctly, Jason. And FYI:

Your Love (Jul 1981) PP: 11, WC: 9
Babe We're Gonna Love Tonite (Oct 1982) PP: 20, WC: 6
Unexpected Lovers (Jun 1985) bubbling under

and although it was less successful, I prefer "Babe We're Gonna Love Tonite" over "Your Love".


It is good to know that Lime had chart success overseas.  All of those songs are indeed fabulous :)

Here's some trivia for ya ... Lime was the creative force of husband and wife Denis and Denyse LePage who also wrote, produced and programmed Voggue's "Dancin' the Night Away"

Time for some hints. ::)

Hello again...

#1. A long-forgotten thing by KC & The Sunshine Band (which rode on the success of 'Give It Up')

#9. Diana Ross

Both are correct, Paul! 8)

27. Gary Moore

27. Gary Moore


Another correct answer!  :)

Limit's now off, so you can all have another go (or two). :)

#10 - Paul Carrack (The track 'I Need You' was a top 40 hit here in Canada)
#14 - Kim Wilde
#19 - Icehouse (The track 'No Promises' was a top 40 hit here in Canada)
#24 - Flock of Seagulls

I've added a second set of hints for the remaining albums.

16: UK male duo, both former members of Hotlegs.
Godley and Creme?

23: Thrash/Speed metal band, current lineup: Dave Mustaine, Glen Drover, Shawn Drover, James LoMenzo.
Megadeth?

39: UK female singer, born Dec. 6, 1950. I think "Rosie" is her best known song.
Joan Armatrading?

So the song titles didn't ring any bells..? ???

Never mind - you got them right. :)

I was without tintinnabulation with the song titles.  :-[

...and you weren't the only one, so don't worry about it. ;)

A-ha! That name 'Willy' rustled up some brain cells...

#2. Mink DeVille (who only had one big hit here...'Spanish Stroll')

I had no idea they were still churning out albums in the 80s...just goes to show!

Mink DeVille is the right answer! :)

Apart from this album (1981), they released at least two other albums in the 1980s: "Where Angels Fear To Tread" (1983) and "Sportin' Life" (1985).
"Spanish stroll" was a #3 hit in 1977 in Dutch Top 40, but they also scored two hits in 1984: "Each Word's A Beat Of My Heart" (#32) and "Demasiado Corazon (Too Much Heart)" (#10). The latter one was used in a tv ad.

BUMPED with even more hints...

29: I've given up on this one. The artists name is Andreas Vollenweider.
35: The songs "Mayday Mayday" and "I Smelt Roses (In The Underground)", both released as a single, are also from this album.
38: Perhaps you're more familiar with his songs "She's No Lady" or "Simple Song".

Well, I've still no idea on the last two, but I think I've got #29 now  ;D

I'm bumping this because it's below a lot of finished quizzes, and Henk quizzes deserve more than that ;)

I still don't know any  :-[

Nice of you to bump this one, but I don't think anyone knows the answers to the remaining two.

So I'm wrapping this one up.

No, sorry Henk...I kept coming back to it to see if anything would 'bite', but no luck...

Fine quiz, tho'...
