okay well maybe you've heard them once or twice but never bought an album, never given the band in question any listening time.

I lied, I've heard Chicago, in fact I voted for "If You Leave Me Now" in the 70s Poll

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 11 March 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

okay well maybe you've heard them once or twice but never bought an album, never given the band in question any listening time.

Yes, I've heard U2 on the radio and TV, but I've never had any of their records, nor heard an album at a friend's house or anything like that.

okay well maybe you've heard them once or twice but never bought an album, never given the band in question any listening time.

That's a cop out! I genuinely have never heard Pavement, Tortoise or Slint.... mind you I genuinely couldn't name 4 of their albums

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

Well I didn't start the thread! And yeah obv. I could name loads of bands I've never heard anything at all by, but I couldn't name four of their albums.

I believe Third and Sister Lovers are one and the same, jay, so Big Star are ineligible for this exercise.

I think I can do 5 for ELP (whom I've not heard in the way Alba doesn't know U2 - I've heard "Lucky Man" and "Karn Evil #9" a bunch of times on the radio, I remember "Black Moon", and I have the Nice's greatest hits):

Tarkus
Pictures at an Exhibition
Love Beach
Black Moon
Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends

I can do the Replacements if these are real albums:

Let It Be
Pleased to Meet Me
Hootenanny
Tim

(Well, once, a guy put on a tape with some Replacements stuff on it some 10 years ago. And I saw the "I'll Be You" [?] video once like 15 years ago.)

I think I can get 3 for XTC:

Black Sea
English Settlement
Drums and Wires

Ah, Hootenanny -- I totally had the other three but couldn't come up with a fourth.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

This is the most impossible thing of my entire life.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Just so I'm understanding this correctly... I've never heard one note of this band's music, but I somehow have to be able to name four of their albums from memory?

― billstevejim, Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:31 (twenty years ago)

okay well maybe you've heard them once or twice but never bought an album, never given the band in question any listening time.

― Ian John50n (orion), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I sort of cheated, and I still can only name 3...

Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Songs Of Love And Hate
Songs From A Room - I had to look this one up.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh wait.. A possible maybe here...

Approximately Infinite Universe
Plastic Ono Band
something about Rising.. the one Ween played on
she probably had an album called Walking On Thin Ice at some point..
oh wait, Onobox! if that counts.

and if this also counts, Two Virgins, Life With The Lions, The Wedding Album

so combining all that should sort of equal 4 albums, even though those last 3 are collabs. and it sort of also doesn't count cos I've listened to "Paper Shoes" qutie a few times, and I've heard "Walking On Thin Ice" once, although I don't remember a damn thing about it.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Oh cool, I thought of another..

Ropin' The Wind
Chris Gaines
No Fences
self-titled

I just remembered that horrible "Friends In Low Places" is a Garth Brooks song, but it took me like 3 whole minutes to think of those, so I'm posting anyway.
