Post making contest 3.0
RE: Post making contest
This is update #123.

I finally talked myself into a list of twenty albums, as a vague compromise between ten and forty. So, here's a fun game for you all to try at home. I've jotted down the first line that came to mind when I thought of each album in order. This proved difficult in the case of the three that are purely instrumental, but what ho. Now for the challenge: I've taken some words out each of them, and all you have to do is fill in the blanks. It's that simple.
  1. I'm beginning to see a, uh, point of light on the horizon. It's getting larger. I'm getting some pretty good ______ .
  2. The ______ are nearly always close to the sea, in fallen boulders, old ruins, in cliffs, or at the top of a stack like this.
  3. Most of us are tinkers, some of us tailors, and we've got candlesticks and lots of ______ ______!
  4. *this is an instrumental album, except for the one vocal sample you know full well I can't entirely figure out*
  5. So tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin, I promised my girlfriend I'd ______ ______ ______ ______!
  6. *this is also an instrumental album, though the artist is heard to say "______, ______, ______, ______!" at the start of the very first track*
  7. Behind these two hills here, there's a pool. And when I'm swimming in through a tunnel, I ______ ______ ______...
  8. I think you'd remember, when you were so locked down, if you were a ______ in a previous life...
  9. On the mountain's sunny side, the sunshades are all down. The ______ ______ is televised, it tore from ______ to town.
  10. You know I went to my house, wasn't nobody there but ______. There was trouble there was worry, Lord like the whole world could see! (note: these lyrics are sampled)
  11. Animals with no eyes, but yet not blind. Six arms and one leg, but not alone. Standing in the light and yet unseen, wings like a ______, tail like a ______ .
  12. There's so much I want. I have to decide what I want to do with my life. ______ ______ are so dangerous! I get so tempted!
  13. Fighting is futile but I can't concede to interior beliefs that control and deplete you, dismounting a love which has grown from beneath you, an ______ ______ .
  14. And when the moon is not quite round where can the missing bit be found? Be proud to be ______ !
  15. Well done you! You’ve really really got the hang of it! That’s excellent stuff there! Come on, I’ll ______ ______ ______ ______.
  16. *the other instrumental album, but my favourite song has some cut-up vocalisations and a spot of near-choral singing*
  17. From the lowly mountains, to the highest peak, my heart is singing, I can hardly ______ !
  18. Come with us to where man has never been, but to where he will go, as certain as the passing of time. Come with us to the ______ . The ______ is waiting.
  19. Your attention please. NBS Radio station WWVH will be relocated to the ______ of ______ , ______ at zero hours Greenwich Mean Time on July 1st 1971.
  20. I've got a ______ that's made by NASA, the material's called ______ . I put my head on it; the shape, it moulds to my head.
That was definitely a good use of my time, just like it'll be a good use of your time to try this. If you disagree with the number of words in each blank patch, feel free to do as you would like.

(bonus points for accurate answers, and even more bonus points for correct identifications!)

wheat you got me beat. i only own astro lounge. i only remember three songs off this entire album: 'all star' obviously, 'walking on the sun' and 'waste' which i remember as being pretty good (this was a long time ago i have no idea if it holds up/was ever an actual good song).

its not going in my top 20 albums though

"telescope" certainly fits the general sound (I cleaned up slightly in Audacity), but it doesn't make the most sense? I dunno.

Also Kíeros you definitely have the right idea there.

If 4, in that case, was the palindrome one, then yes it does. You can check the beginning and the end, and I ever so helpfully highlighted the 'o' right in the middle.

Yes, that was the result of a google search for "longest palindrome".

so i worked out my top 25 albums listed in alphabetical order because actually arranging most of these into a preferred order would take more work than i'm willing to devote to this.

important addendum with the above albums i was working under the self imposed restriction of one album per artist. if i wasn't there'd be more mcr, more used, maybe one more avril.
