[debianlinux]

add a clue while youre here

Or at least a why it didn't make the cut as a clue?

 

[cul8er]

add a clue while you're here

A clue from another thread, perhaps?

I almost made their S/T my future ROTM..!

 

[scotthilk]

A clue from another thread, perhaps?

I can comfortably say that no hints were posted outside this thread purposefully - but - I’d imagine there were accidental hints posted throughout the years!

 

[scotthilk]

Or at least a why it didn't make the cut as a clue?

From the ROTM master thread:

• The choice of record is almost entirely dependent on the person choosing, though there are some stipulations put in place to try to keep things balance for everyone. The most important thing to make sure of is that anyone can secure a copy of your AOTM (preferably for under $30), regardless of what country they are in. Keep in mind that multiple people from different countries participate in these threads. As long as you can be reasonably sure everyone will be able to get a copy of the album you choose without issue, the sky's the limit!

This will be the case with a large majority of the "didn't make it" albums I post.

This will be the only "why I did not pick an album" post I make unless I decide to use a pick as a hint!

I’m bored.

We can safely cross out everything before 1956 since the LP didn't even exist until 1948.. and 2018 is literally 6 years from now and we're not time travelers (unless Scott has something to tell us)

So 56, 68, 80, 92, 04, or 16

 

[bfly]

Franz Ferdinand - self-titled

• hilk has seen 'em live and dug it
• 2004 - a monkey year smash
• available on vinyl for reasonable amounts

maybe his monkey was just a hint at a red & white artwork though

So 56, 68, 80, 92, 04, or 16

also thats chinese years, so what if the record has been released in January of the following year

the album is from 2004

as that is the one year of the monkey where peyton was playing (maybe 2016 as that was his retirement year)

i don't watch or like American football but when someone said the guys name i did a simple Wikipedia search and found out the years he was active

I will save you some time and say that Hint #2 is not associated with a year

ok here is my guesses of what it could be (going back to being the sleuth i was last time)

Location: born in New Orleans, College in Tennessee, and Played for Indiana and Colorado
18: number of tracks? maybe the artist or a member was this age when they made it
