Here... the Mountain clue is actually tied to another clue. Together they form a different clue.

Clues basically have two purposes:
1. Lead you to the artist
2. Lead you to the album

Yes it's the appalachians and all the other things said but the big draw around here is the leaves in the fall (as shown in the photo); which coincidentally relates to the red maple leaf clue.

 

[TrainFan73]

I mean I say you guys haven’t figured it out but you are still stuck on the prevailing interpretation of the clue.

 

[TrainFan73]

I’m not storf. You guys have not even come close to understanding the mountain clue. To be as clear as I can be: it is a picture of mountains.

 

[TrainFan73]

I used the appalachians to confuse you and evidently did that too well.

You guys are either gonna be “you are a genius” or half of you will never talk to me again after reveal.

 

[TrainFan73]

Like most of the clues are simpler than you guys have made them.

If the clues literally translate to mountain, forest, building, leaf, person...I WILL SEE TO YOUR BAN IMMEDIATELY

 

[TrainFan73]

Um... I may be in trouble.

They’re only simple if you know the answer

Like the picture of the sun is for.... the sun?

 

[TrainFan73]

Like the picture of the sun is for.... the sun?

For this particular clue... yes.

The sun only shines on the mountain forests path when Yoda is in the Ryman?

Yes, clearly it is a Max Rebo album.

 

[Colonel_Angus]

For this particular clue... yes.

Yoda on a giraffe of course? He is not tall enough to see above the trees.

Pictures are not clues

There, I said it

 

[debianlinux]

I hereby solemnly promise that if we're all still alive and using computers with electricity when I come up for AOTM the clues will be inscrutable, complex, intentionally misleading, and require multiple links to discover the meaning of even a single one of them.

 

[TrainFan73]

Funny story... I actually changed the order of the clues because I was afraid that my original clue #3 combined with the first two clues when googled, the album was like the third hit for me. Later, I realized that this may have had something to do with me researching the record for the better part of nine months. The other day when I finally posted the original number three... I did a private browser search and it didn’t even register as a hit.

I have led you guys on a virtual scavenger hunt of epic proportions and everyone of the clues will make perfect sense when reveal is made.

I’ve been debating giving a few days after reveal to give everyone a chance to explain the clues and see if anyone can make them all work and give that person like ten extra raffle entries (points)
