WHAT’S MY THEME #5

Unless there are loud cries of ‘More!’ from the crowd, #5 will be the last in this series.

What links these albums?

If you think you have the answer, please translate it into Arabic so others an have a crack.

Thanks!

    I love puzzles and I always take a look at yours. Once or twice I have even surprised myself, but most of the time I haven’t the faintest clue. That said, I say, do it anyway.

      And I’m grateful for your efforts. The trials invisible are core requirements of any spiritual discipline.

      Alas, it seems this wasn’t as devilish as I hoped.
      Well played, sir.

      Good try, but no.

    My initial hypothesis was that it all had to do with duration … something like they all clock in at under half an hour. In researching my assumption, i quickly realized the real answer: هناك خمسة موسيقيين في كل منهما

      That is true. But there’s more. (And you are on the right track!)

    Alas, the diabolical lived up to its name for me, Bruce.
    But I quite like the quizzes, despite my lack of success – whether it’s in this form (or your album covers), I really enjoy them!
    And that Cure compilation is among my favourite greatest hits sets. Although I think just about every note from Kiss Me through Bloodflowers must be owned in multiple formats, I think this compilation does a good job of summarizing the first several albums.

      Thanks for the feedback, Geoff. There is a ‘traditional’ VC Album Cover Quiz in the pipeline. 🙂

        Splendid to hear, Bruce – even if it’s equally diabolical, I look forward to it!

    Still figuring out, but it’s noteworthy that two of the bands have members with the last name Tolhurst.

    That was hard. No idea so I cheated. Now I get it.

      Nice work. These are a different kind of quiz, one where hunches and private investigation are required. It’s all in the chase!

    Um…all the lead singers have the middle name Dominic?
    Not a clue! But I share stephen1001’s enjoyment of any and all quizzes, no matter the difficulty level.
    And that face on The Cure’s singles collection is a gem; I’d want to listen to the stories he has to tell…

      Believe it or not, JDB, but you are closer than you imagine. Application of google translate and Aphoristical’s research would provide a short cut.
