The Game you love to hate! Guess Dan's Top 5 of 2023

[heavyharmonies]

Ok, my top 5 finally in place, so...

It's time once again for folks to guess my top 5 albums of 2023 and then make fun of me for such ludicrous choices 

The contest goes like this:

1. Someone posts their guess in 1,2,3,4,5 order.

2. I reply saying how many of the 5 guessed albums are correct, and also how many are in correct spots (without stating explicitly WHICH ones are correct or in correct slots).

3. Next person guesses based upon prior guesses and my feedback.

4. Only one attempt per person... until we run out of active members participating.

Let the games commence!

Bummer, thought it would be cool if you had 3 Danish acts in your top 5, wishful thinking I guess :-)

I set the table for everyone. Now there’s only 3 left to guess 

[lettard]

Care Of Night - Reconnected

Streetlight - Ignition

The Defiants - Drive

Roxanne - Stereo Typical

ModX - Looking For Closure

I don't think Induction released their album yet...hmmm

[heavyharmonies]

2 out of 5 correct, both in correct positions.

So I think everyone can see that 2: Streetight and 3:The Defiants are locked in.

Now for 1, 4, and 5...

[KarpetRydOFunk]

ModX isn't in your top five? I don't even care anymore. ;}

[heavyharmonies]

To be fair, that isn't an album I heard last year.

To be even more fair, the album is called Secrets, so there's still a chance. ;}

You're catching on. 

[whiplash1972]

1. Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust

2. Streetlight - Ignition

3. The Defiants - Drive

4.  Fifth Angel - When Angels Kill

5.  Roadwolf - Midnight Lightning

[heavyharmonies]

Same 2 out of 5 correct.

[Crazysam]

1. Within Temptation - Bleed Out
2. Streetlight - Ignition
3. The Defiants - Drive
4. Crowne - Operation Phoenix
5. 7th Crystal - Wonderland

 

[heavyharmonies]

Good attempt, but still stuck on the same 2 out of 5.

The Within Temptation was merely "ok". It wasn't really an album, just a group of singles they'd already released over the last 3 years plus a whole bunch of instrumental versions of songs.... meh.

P.S. Just so people don't think I've gone off the reservation entirely, the 3 remaining albums are IMO solidly within the musical genres of HH.

[auslander]

I like the idea of a reservation where we could live in peace as HH fans.

[warrenamos01]

1. Khymera - Hold Your Ground
2. Streetlight - Ignition
3. The Defiants - Drive
4. Overland - SIX
5. Kent Hilli - Nothing Left To Lose
