  1. Nope, don't think there were any misunderstandings involved there. :P

    More clues:

    - The British band's album was their debut album, released in 1971. In Britain the album was self-titled, but the American title was similar to the title of a track from Beatles For Sale. :P

    - The American band's album was released in 1970, and it was not their debut album. It was a double album with one live LP and one studio LP. :)

  2. Those were all the titles the band/artist intended the albums to have, so they do not fit the question. :)

    In the cases I am referring to, the albums were released with a title that the band didn't want, and they were both released under a different title due to misunderstandings. :)

    A few small clues for now:

    - The albums I am thinking of were released in consecutive years.

    - One of the albums was given the title the band wanted when released in England (the band's home country), but was released under a different title in the USA.

    - The other album is by an American band, and was released worldwide with a "title" that the band had not intended it to have.

    - Both were successful and prolific bands, and both released more than ten studio albums.

  3. 1. Ball And Biscuit - The White Stripes (2003)

    2. April - Deep Purple (1969)

    3. Hope That House Built, The - Future of the Left (2009) (For a song released this year, this is surprisingly reminiscent of Peter Gabriel era Genesis). :thumbsup:

    4. Your Woman - White Town (1997)

    5. Celluloid Heroes - The Kinks (1972)

    6. (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) - Beastie Boys (1986)

    7. Cars - Gary Numan (1979)

    8. Ampersand - Amanda Palmer (2008)

    9. You And Me - Alice Cooper (1977)

    10. Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant (1983)

  4. I'm surprised they didn't link to a video of Orianthi Panagaris, she's probably the most skilled female electric guitarist I've seen. And I'm not just saying that because she's Australian and good looking. See here. :)

    I also agree with someone who made a comment on that page - if it wasn't just electric guitarists listed, Ana Vidovic should make the top ten. Asturias is my favourite Spanish classical guitar instrumental (originally written for piano), and she plays it amazingly well in this video. I tried to learn Asturias about six years ago. Needless to say, I didn't have much success. :P

  5. 1. "Fake Plastic Trees" - Radiohead (1995)

    5. "Porcelain" - Moby (1999)

    6. "Man on the Moon" - R.E.M. (1992)

    7. "Live Forever" - Oasis (1994)

    8. "Fool's Gold" - The Stone Roses (1989)

    9. "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" - The White Stripes (2001)

    10. "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" - Elton John (1973)

    Lots of songs I hadn't heard before this week only just missed out. Excellent list! :bow:

  6. Of course he's a British icon. But you still have to guess who he is. :grin:

    The picture is from the 70s, he looks rather different now. :)

    I don't think Ian Anderson has played electric guitar for about 40 years. It was the first instrument he learnt, but he quickly decided he would never be as good as Eric Clapton, so he gave it up and learnt the flute (and later the saxophone, mandolin, bouzouki, trumpet, violin etc etc) instead. :)
