I have assumed that the clues when read in order make up some song lyrics.

I’m tryinggggg

I'm sorry y'all.

I'll just say that the two years that were given aren't necessarily random.

It isn't A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park, isn't it?

 

[Joe Mac]

So sleuth time

Deacon Blue formed in 1985, last album 2016
Radiohead formed as On A Friday in 1985, last album 2016
A Tribe Called Quest formed 1985, last album 2016
The Wedding Present formed in 1985 last album 2016

 

[Skalap]

Nine Inch Nails has two gold records

It could be Nine Inch Nails and I can connect with most of the hints... But I can connect with many songs from different albums.

It isn't A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park, isn't it?

They sampled this on The Radiance but they also have more than two gold records.

 

[Bsdmr2]

Would love it to be Tribe!!

 

[Joe Mac]

Sleuth part 2

Sting first album 1985 last full album of new stuff 2016

 

[Joe Mac]

Would love it to be Tribe!!

I’d love it to be The Wedding Present

 

[Skalap]

As far as I can tell, the artist/album still hasn't been guessed. Maybe this will help

The artist has two gold records

So we guessed the right artist! So it must be a solo album and not a band.

 

[Skalap]

Nine Inch Nails it is.

Nine Inch Nails, commonly abbreviated as NIN (stylized as NIИ), is an American industrial rock band formed in 1988 in Cleveland, Ohio. Singer, producer and instrumentalist Trent Reznor was the only permanent member until the addition of English musician Atticus Ross in 2016.

The Wash your hands hint leads me to think it's the album With Teeth due to the song The Hand that Feeds.

Edit: WITH TEETH 2019 DEFINITIVE EDITION 2XLP

 

[dhodo]

I’d love it to be The Wedding Present

Yes, please.

 

[Joe Mac]

Yes, please.

Although there hasn’t been a clue along the lines of “The Greatest Ever British Footballer” so probably not haha!

 

[MadLucas]

Are their albums still in print?

If they are, I am buying Seamonsters TONIGHT even if it isn’t that one.

 

[gaporter]

@Joe Mac there's been a ton of hints since the reptilian one! Get them up there when you can homie

[D Jilla]
