for -2 points
_no5 and mckindog for Two Minutes to Midnight
unknownone and Ariana for 22 Acacia Ave.


The best answer for -4 points .. The Flight of Icarus

Yeah it does have nautical themes - although most of it is symbolic..

"Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go"

"The sun don't shine
On the sea of madness
There ain't no wind to fill your sails"

etc

That's why I picked it and I knew everyone else was going to go for the obvious so I wanted to go for the least likely answer. I didn't think I'd be the only one to pick it though.

 

[Unknown One]

Not last finally! Huzzah!

 

[Forostar]

Great to see the scores coming in, bearfan. And nice pics!

 

[bearfan]

Might have time to do a few more questions tonight ....

 

[mckindog]

I'm enjoying the pics too.
(the score, not so much )

 

[bearfan]

Will try to resume this later tonight .. sitting at the airport looking forward to a fun day of air and car travel

 

[The Flash]

I'm incredibly powerful, almost unbeatable when it comes to sucking in forum games.

 

[Ariana]

Not that fast, young man!

 

[Unknown One]

[bearfan]

Was busy defending the American way of life ... now .. back to the sheep

[Forostar]

I don't get it I think. The less points you get, the better right?
Did I have the best answer in Q12 (together with Vap)? Still I get the most points. -1 is more than -8?

edit: f u c k that was the worst answer.

Q13. R: Name a former Iron Maiden band member who is NOT credited on any official Iron Maiden releases of any kind.

I should highlight NOT credited on any official Iron Maiden releases of any kind

So ... +8 Dennis Stratton _no5, Forostar

followed by
+2 Thunderstick --mckindog, Mosh

[Forostar]

Fuck it, I thought credited for songwriting. I never use the word credited if it only means listed/mentioned as a band member. Stratton is the only bandmember on an official studio album who was never credited for a song. I confused that piece of trivia with this question.

Bad luck, I never expected that this question would've been so easy (most 1970s members would do)

:/
