Who is Dr. Frankenstein?

Who are Box Car Racer?

When I first got this and spun it, I decided that it didn't really click anymore and I put it in the maybe trade pile. This time I'm enjoying it, so idk, I'm inconsistent with my tastes and I figured no one else would play this so it was a safe pick. Made up of Blink 121.33, a member of Hazen St., and a tattoo artist.

I didn't see your post, and chose this as well. Took the photo at 1:20pm and had to run out on an errand. Just got back and was going to post this, but you beat me to it. Back to the drawing board....

What is Asia, featuring John Wetton (King Crimson), Steve Howe (Yes), Geoff Downes (The Buggles) and Carl Palmer (ELP)?
Asia was the first "supergroup" that I ever saw live in concert. I was in high school, and saw them at Yale University just before they skyrocketed in popularity. Caught Carl Palmer's drumstick at that show.

This vampire famously sucked blood to live forever, whereas this album is by a band that many people think just sucks and won't die.

Who is Count Dracula (Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream)?



This band post-90s has had a rough go, for the most part. Some fans love MACHINA / The Machines of God, while I think it is fine. Their latest horror ATUM is a synthpop-rock-opera-concept slushie full of pretentious lyricism and poor production. I listened to it a few months ago, and I wish I didn't, but wasted no time throwing it to the "" tier it rightfully belongs in. Please make it stop, Billy Corgan.
