Black&White&BlueMoon Town said:
Just got back from the Peninsula of saying both hello and goodbye to colonies, so it's been a busy one for me. Fitting to see the trying times during both periods back then to what is likely ahead.

Will have the correct guesses by EOD. Slowdive is in town tonight, so it can't be too late. ;-)

Nice, Slowdive's renaissance is a nice middle finger to music journalists who behave like twats.

Sure, and I wasn't going to list them all, but before this round is over, I'll provide a Top 5 of albums I already knew from page 1 in the ranked order I have them in.

My Top 5 6 page 1 albums, none heard here first or nominated by me:
  1. Moving Pictures - Rush
  2. OK Computer - Radiohead
  3. Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
  4. Southern Rock Opera - Drive-By Truckers
  5. Ten - Pearl Jam
  6. Given to the Wild- The Maccabees
 
No matter who picked what, I'm sensing a theme that no one but perhaps 2 (nominator and Coatigan) really knows who chose "Stacy's Mom". Kudos to the BM Album Review "Hide and Seek" winner (assuming they aren't a burner account)! ;-)

We're mostly all claiming it, and none are right...

1. Deacon Brodie - the Yawpers – OB1
2. The Heat Above - Greta Van Feet - Coatigan
3. Naden - Bad//Dreems – RobMCFC
4. The Wheel – Idles - GornikDaze
5. New Sensation- Idles - threespires
6. Down to Believing - Allison Moorer – Mancitydoogle
7. Blood under the Bridge - Frightened Rabbit - Notthreespireshonest
8. I'm So Happy I Cry - Fantastic Negrito - LGWIO
9. Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne – B&W&BM Town
10. Time It's Time - Talk Talk – Saddleworth2
11. The Pan Within - The Waterboys – BimboBob
12. Brave New World - war of the worlds - Mr. Belfry
13. Under the pressure – The War On Drugs - BlueHammer85
14. Rosalie - Thin Lizzy - bennyboy
15. The enchanter - the Budos Band – Journolud

My top 5 songs not nominated by myself from the playlist (shocker on a couple!):
  1. Down to Believing - Allison Moorer
  2. Blood under the Bridge - Frightened Rabbit
  3. Time It's Time - Talk Talk (gotcha?)
  4. Naden - Bad//Dreems (gotcha?)
  5. Under the pressure – The War On Drugs (know this song well, and I needed a 5th)

So here are your results.

Guessing champions:
B&W - 4.5
Threespires - 4
Rob - 3
LG - 2
Hammer - 2
Doogle - 2
Sadds - 1

There was a tie at first place, but given there were two idles songs, anyone guessing the right poster but not the song got a half point, which separated it in the end.

Not doing the hide and seek champion as there are too many that didnt get guessed. But the wooden spoon was definitely Doogle, as everyone seemed to guess his song.

Top liked songs from the playlist (points 5-1 based on order)

Idles - the wheel - 11
Greta van fleet - 7
Fantastic Negrito - 7
Fountains of wayne - 7
Portishead - 6
Led Zep - 6
War on drugs- 5
Frightened Rabbit - 4
Idles - new sensation - 4
Waterboys - 4
Budos Band - 3
Alison Moorer - 1


And finally full list of contributions :

Brave new world - belfry
Thin Lizzy - benny
Bad//Dreems - rob
War on drugs - Sadds
Idles The Wheel - LG
Talk Talk - Journo
Waterboys - B&W
Allison Moorer - D'uh-gle
Greta van fleet - spires
Fountains of wayne - OB1
Fantastic negrito - bimbo

Great job @Coatigan, thanks for giving me the break.

We'll start Round#10 of The Album Club this afternoon, and as it's my nomination, I can reassure you that there will be picture clues.

As an early clue, here's what I said after my last nomination took a right shellacking:-

Looks like I might be back to the big cowboy hat and banjos next time. Whilst that might not necessarily be true, I will never, repeat never, go down the road of crap English bands just for points !!!!!!

Why would Doogle even want to hide when he can simply show off his excellent taste :-)
