Ok, here's one:

Name the three bands that have 4 albums that "debuted" at #1 on the Billboard 200, and the one band that has 5.

I'm saying the Beatles for the band that had 5.

Before I go any further, there is a total of 4 bands then?

correct, four bands total, and the Beatles are in there, but not with 5... given my stated bias in previous posts you can probably guess who has 5

i also realize that debuting at #1 is not necessarily a testament to the greatness of any particular album, but more a testament to the long term cred of the band combined with the hype/buildup to the album

two for four - metallica has 5, beatles have 4, then two more with 4... keep in mind it's not necessarily pure rock groups - there's one HUGE band you're probably not thinking about because of genre differences

How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
J/K

For Aerosmith fans:

1) Aerosmith proclaimed, "You can't catch me cause the rabbit's done and died" in what song?
2) What Aerosmith song is about a girl getting revenge on her abuser?
3) Fill in the blank, "All these lines on my _____ getting clearer."

OK, I can see Metallica being the one with 5, The Beatles with 4. I'm guessing but since we are talking about long term could be Pearl Jam. I don't believe the Stones have done that so I'll eliminate them. Possibly U2.

You got me.

Eagles?? - just a guess, they're HUGE but I'd say their genre IS rock.
hmmmm.... Garth Brooks?? I'll shut up now on this one, I'm reachin' up my butt.

U2 is right, and one more that I would've never thought of, but points to my point above about how this is not as much a great indicator of a truly great album as it is somewhat speculative and based on the band's popularity plus hype with the album...

A couple of hints, this band is known for being real popular among the college kiddos (well a few years ago anyway). It's named after it's lead guy.

I'm sure it's Rascal Flatts. I remember hearing about this. Even I have one of their albums.

#1 is Sweet Emotion
#2 is Janie's Got a Gun (sp?)
#3 no idea!
