Guess the album and have a go yourself.
(If you need a reminder a Haiku consists of 17 syllables in three lines – a 5/7/5 pattern. Ideally, there should be a juxtaposition or contrast or a ‘cutting’ of elements within.)
It would hurt my head to do something similar this late in the day, but I’ll have a stab at Parallel Lines ?
Parallel Lines?
Absolutely correct! Well done Dodger & Digit. Now, it’s your turn.

I’d say you are further away, Moose. Do you know what a syllable is?
Oh yeah. I’ve been going 5-7-5. I’ll get off your thread.
Don’t go. Try harder next time!
I got Rigid’s, further up ^^, but I’ll put mine here so as not to complicate the page:
World-conquering riffs
Avenging robot cartoon
Tigger won’t listen
Nope. Not a clue.
Is it “Seeing Double” by S Club 7?
Yes! (NO)
Back In Black?
First and third line makes me guess Welcome to the Jungle, but I’ve no idea what the avenging robot cartoon has to do with it…I do own the album so if it’s the correct answer I’ll have to stand in a corner and blush!
Wait, sorry, Appetite For Destruction I mean…
Hurrah! The robot refers to the original, controversial cover image that was later changed:
http://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/p773/minibreakfast/afd_zpsnisrrht3.jpg
(And tigger still hasn’t listened to it.)
Oh. Is that what it looks like?
And another:
Eighties are over
Octopussy headgear worn
Soulful debut flight
Cornershop – Urban Turban
Nope.
More clues:
Irritating Scot
Ditches the sharp-suited look
No more beardy bloke
Rod Stewart – A Spanner In The Works
What? NO!!!
Would it help if I copy and pasted the tracklisting?
Of course not, mini. That wouldn’t any difference at all. Not to me anyway. 😉
Is This Andy Stewart’s “Donald Where’s Yer Troosers” Mini?
It’s “Diva” by Annie Lennox isn’t it?
Hurrah! Thanks Hawkfall, those other guys were driving me crazy.
Is it the Woody Woodmansey’s U-Boat album, mini?
Bat Out Of Hell II?
Stop being a silly.
Have you seen the cover? If ever there was headgear that could be described as ‘octopussy’ it’s right there!
Ah, I meant headgear worn on the cover originally used in Octopussy, not headgear that looks octopuss-y. Last clue – female.
Madonna – I’m Breathless.
That’s not an answer. I’m just having an imaginary conversation with Madonna.
I believe the irritating Scot female who dumped the beardy bloke at the end of the 80s is Annie Lennox. Despite all those awards I don’t know the name of any of her albums – even a track listing wouldn’t help me..
Is it Ashton Gardner & Dyke’s Ressurection Shuffle, Mini?
kingston wall II? It cannot be Sam the Sham…
What? WHAT!!?
no I’m wrong
Mini, is it Mariah Carey’s Breakdown?
Is it No Parlez, Mini?
Hey, mini! I think I’ve got it this time.
Is it Carly Simon – No Secrets?
Mini! Mini! It’s the second Rick Astley album, isn’t it? The one with the brown cover?

I think you are going to have to tidy this one up for us, @kid-dynamite, please.
@tiggerlion it was Heart Of The Congos, by The Congos. The original middle line was “with Cedric, Roydel and Scratch” but I decided that made it too Googleable, so I settled for the self evident truth that it is the greatest reggae album ever made.
Fabulous album. Thanks.

(Nice haiku, by the way. You could teach the Mooche a thing or two about syllables!)
Erm … it’s not “The World Of Bert Kaempfert”, is it, Saucey?

They are easy now!
Philip Glass & Rbert Wilson – Einstein On The Beach
and
The League Unlimited Orchestra – Love And Dancing, a magnificent album that you pointed me towards not so long ago, thank you.
Unfortunately you’re wrong with the first one, Three Trays. It was Robert Wilson. But your second is on the money, or would be if it wasn’t wrong as well. It’s “Dare” by The Human Leagues.

Stiltskin – The Minds Eye
(For some inexplicable reason, I bought that album. Played it twice (the second time to be sure).
Frankly I wasn’t referring to that particular one 🙂 just the album experience in general. Let’s face it the vast majority of them are just vehicles for a couple of good songs.
Four blokes from the north
Crossing a road in London
Uninspired title
Oasis – What’s The Story (Morning Glory)
I completely agree. The title is crap.
Sorry Tigg.
Wrong northern city
and
wrong road in London
Can’t argue with last bit though
Point of annoying pedantry: there were 5 northern blokes in Oasis (well, 4 actually because Alan White hails from Lewisham. At this point, to support my pedantry, I will play the Tony McCarroll card)
You didn’t specify a particular city. And Alan White doesn’t count.
In that case, I’m guessing The Human League’s Travelogue.
Ooh. Ooh. Just thought of another.
Pulp – Bad Cover Versions

Me reckons you are avoiding saying the name of the toppermost Fabs album (we all know how much you love it)
Yes, it is Abbey Road
I prefer the extended version of the cover, though, don’t you!?

Do like the larger version of Parklife.

This is that Durutti Column album where the album sleeve was made of sandpaper isn’t it?
I bet that album was most often stored next to “grown-out-of” copies of Queen’s Greatest Hits and Rio.
@hawkfall It was Durutti Column, yes, and the album sleeve was made of sandpaper as Guy Louis Debord’s memoirs, but the name of his album?

Bargepole most certainly can. Most gracious of you. Ta.
PS, I would welcome you back, but I didn’t realise you’d gone anywhere. Anyway, keep up the good work (which you obviously can’t be doing, given the number of posts you’ve put on this thread alone.)
Dashed cheek Cat! I’ll have you know I am putting the finishing flourishes to a piece today by gad.

Is it Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell Mr Celebration?
If it’s wrong, it’s a brilliant guess!
@pencilsqueezer yes it jolly well is! well done – I thought it would flummox everyone, but no.

Rex, waiting, fiddles

Is this five across, Mike, or fourteen down?

(nine siblings, Rex being ‘King of Pop’ – denial of being impregnator of Billie Jean…)
Rex = King?
(waiting, fiddles … ??? clueless here)
Five from nine = four
Jubilation = er …
Member adamant = hard cock (?? surely not)
… anyone else care to show their workings?
Rex: Latin for King / Emperor… emperor who fiddled is Nero… um…
Nero for Joy Cocksure?
Hey Chiz – let’s go and beat the answer out of him. Look at that smirk on his face.
My fighting days are over, HP. I’ve still got the bruises from when the Knights of St Peter took me up the back alley to teach me some manners.

The first line makes me think of The Charlie Daniels Band. The second and third lines do not back this up in any way.
This may earn me another arse-kicking from the Condiment King…worth it to get you here. Maybe.
Henry VIII – Greensleeves?
That kind of era anyway!
Er…no
I think they’ve given up on you, @mikethep
Well. I don’t need to be asked twice…
Rex, waiting = Prince Charles = Royal
Fiddle(s) = Scam(s)
which is fifth out of a total of nine albums, and released in the Jubil(ee)ation year, 1976
by
Member adamant = Steely Dan
not him = not Adam Ant
Sorry.
*applause*
You were definitely playing to the crowd! A Steely Dan haiku!
Is it The Royal Scam by Steely Dan?
YES!
Hooray! The clues were there, you just had to put all it all together. Here’s one for you:

Led Zeppelin – Houses Of The Holy?
No. There is a Grand Prize of a Threeway Awayday Romp With Andielou and Mrs. Breakfast at The Harvester, Winersh, for the winner of this headscratcher!
Here’s a clue: there’s a really obvious clue in the first, second, and third lines.
Okay – the first line alludes (“alludes” – *snork*) to the fact that this album is the first unnumbered album in what must be assumed to be the band’s output. therefore … come on, work with me … therefore … the others …
The second line is a painting in words.
The third line is a play on words. Or rather a word. What, I wonder, might that word be?
Looks like I’m going to win that saucy three-in-a-bed weekend romp in Historic Winersh!
Is it something by the Flying Burrito Brothers? If yes, it looks like it’s just me and Andielou at the Harvester….
Or maybe something by Pitta Gabriel?
Alas no. I do hope you win, though. Be nice. You know … you in a Princess Suite at The Harvester. Complimentary chocolates on the pillow. Andielou in the shower …
Great to see you back on the thread, mini. I thought you were ignoring us!
Back off, Tig. You’ll scare her away again.

@sewer-robot and @pencilsqueezer can we please tidy up the loose ends?
Yes for heaven’s sakes just stop sniggering and tell us so we can turn the lights out in this thread.
What loose ends dude? The “I try a haiku..” one was satire based on how like cryptic crossword clues the haikus were becoming. I didn’t think the objective was for them to be difficult to figure out is all…
Good point well made! 🙂
The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter. I thought I’d made that one pretty easy.

Aussie singer dies

AC/DC ?
and?
Erm, Back in Black?
Depends what you mean by ‘bigger’.
INXS – Switch?
bigger as in ‘enormous’, not bigger as in ‘disappearing from view altogether’. So no, not INXS
“Enormous” as in what, exactly?
As in the second highest selling album of all time. And then filling stadiums wherever they go around the world from then through to today. Is anyone else still that from that era ? Other than one-off re-unions that is. Surely everyone else’s appeal became more ‘selective’. U2, Springsteen perhaps ? The Stones’ rolling greatest hits show ?
That’ll be Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon, then. No wonder their original singer was named Sydney. I never realised. 🙂

Nope, nope, nope and nippity nope, shall I write another haiku ?
You might notice that searching after my description on a search engine,
might give you the answer, but that would not be funny.
I’ll be back with a supplementary haiku.

It’s Odyssey by Terje Rypdal.
I make that an ECM release!
Anyway, I think that’s a wrap. Especially now we’ve reached page two. I’ll turn the lights out with a haiku.
You are right @pencilsqueezer, sorry @tiggerlion for taking EMI for ECM.
Odyssey was an album I heard first in a record store in France for more than twenty years ago, I bought it, then listened again wondered why I bought it in the first place, forgot, listen again liked and so on.
Many bad records have left my collection but this one stayed and I play it some evenings.
The cover is not so engaging, but that means nothing about the music. Terje Rypdal worked later with Jan Garbarek.
