Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 45 – March 2023 /// The Men - New York City

[CrazyDiamond84]

Maybe it's not their 9th album, but maybe the band just has 9 albums that came out those years. Like....The Men...

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

The Men Open Your Heart has a song named 'Candy'

The Men Open Your Heart has a song named 'Candy'

It sounds so plausible…..

Also I hope it’s wrong because its fun seeing everyone get knocked down.

It's clearly this:

Okay...

4 members
9th album (if including '89's Ciccone Youth release The Whitey Album)
"Winner's Blues" is the first song

...not sure about Uncle Buck though.

Look if we ignore a lot of the clues or find someone much smarter than me to make them work it's easy:
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Murder Ballads!
9th album
Features a fantastic 4 guests
And I'm sure someone has recut the Uncle Buck trailer to make it look like a horror movie where John Candy is a serial killer!!!

WHERE'S MY TROPHY?!?

Built To Spill's 9th album? Last year's "When The Wind Forgets Your Name"? Not sure how to make anything but 4 members, 9th album fit, so probably not.

Just going to throw this one out there...

Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers"
4 members, 9th album... definitely won awards and it's inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.

Uncle Buck... he's a slob so he has sticky fingers? Or maybe it's a weird reference to Keith. I'm grasping at straws.

The Men Open Your Heart has a song named 'Candy'

It sounds so plausible….
Also I hope it’s wrong because its fun seeing everyone get knocked down.

You're in luck...

and that day is today because all of these are wrong.

At some point we will have eliminated all 9th albums by 4 member bands and there will be only one remaining. This is the path forward.

Even bigger than than that

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

If any Tuatara seemed to be available on vinyl, I'd be going there right about now.

Either way, y'all should go there regardless...

 

[Joe Mac]

If it’s Pop by U2 I’ll come over to the states and feed you your brain.

Maybe the band has 9 members and it's their fourth album and so it's :

@TenderLovingKiller® fired my post so I'd say I won the game here. I feel like Lebron probably felt yesterday night.

No, you’re still wrong but I wanted to reward outside-the-box thinking. Not to say you will find much outside the box but all the same.

Clue #1

Clue #2

Found this interesting:

The Impossible Man is an alien shapeshifter from the planet Poppup who can take the form of any being or object. He can also mimic the powers and abilities of other beings, making him extremely powerful. The Impossible Man is able to teleport across dimensions, able to jump back and forth between Earth and the Negative Zone or his own native planet.

He isn't as menacing a threat as others, and primarily is a source of mischief and havoc who is always looking for attention.

Just don't know how it will help to find the AOTM.

All cool cats know that all the good stuff is happening inside the box. All other cats want to be inside the box too.

Question: Is the uncle Buck clue a reference to a band member's name?

It is not.

I keep trying to make all the clues fit these...

Low - The Great Destroyer or Magnolia Electric Co - What Comes After The Blues

Both are excellent worthy albums.
