The title is correct, but I had the Tony Banks album in mind. Can't mark you wrong though.

3 Waves
10 I was thinking of Mike Oldfield, but the album's called Discovery and not Discoverer. How about Voyager, though?

You're on the right track, in both cases, but not fully there.

10. Long Distance Voyager - Moody Blues

[bob_32_116]

Yes! Joni and the Moodies are correct.

[Magic Mountain]

2. Thom Yorke - The Eraser?

2. Thom Yorke - The Eraser?

Not THAT eraser.

Instead of "equipment" I probably should have said "equipment's".

4. Grace Under Pressure

[Mister Triscuits]

Looks like the only one no one has already guessed is

6. Abbey Road

[bob_32_116]

Interesting - I've noticed before with these quizzes that the ones I expect to be easy and go off straight away often seem to be the ones that stump people.

Some further clues:

No. 6 was this band's last recorded album.

No. 3: "Waves" is half right.

You are NOT getting more clues for No. 2! that should have been the first to go off.

[bob_32_116]

What is 2?

I don't know if Mexicans do it more often, but I believe it's generally called a "Mexican Wave".

Ah, hadn't even considered that. Nice one.

[bob_32_116]

I can't believe no one got that. With all the discussion about that album on this board, I thought that would be the first one to go off.
