PUZZLE #01


=== INTRODUCTION ===
Six months ago, I did a similar forum game and we got almost to 1000 posts. Well, the original puzzles are back with 20 new friends, for a grand total of 50 puzzles! This is a test of memories, new and old!

=== BASIC INFO ===
Everyone is allowed to play!
Each clue is a 100x100 snippet of an album cover
Each puzzle consists of a 5x5 grid with letters A-E and numbers 1-5
Where the numbers and letters intersect, a 'coordinate' of sorts is formed
Answers should give the coordinate and album. Example: "A1: Dark Side of the Moon"
A particular album shows up only once, but a band may eventually repeat
You may use Google and other methods in order to find answers
Whoever has the most points at the end is the winner

=== SPECIAL RULE ===
Because some of the puzzles are returning, I thought I'd make our quiz journey a little more dynamic.

The person who scored the most points in the current round can pick the next puzzle (#1-50)
The opportunity to pick applies only to answers in the current puzzle
Only yet-unchosen puzzles can be selected
If a choice isn't given in a timely manner, or players have tied scores, we'll go chronologically.

=== SCORING ===:
All points are awarded on a "first come, first served" basis.
You earn 0 points giving a band/artist/performer. This game is about album titles, after all.
You earn 1 point for a correct answer in the current puzzle
You earn 2 points for a correct answer in a previous puzzle
You earn 25 bonus points for completing a puzzle (i.e. giving the 25th correct clue)
