I am engaged in a mini-competition with a few guys at work
The idea is to list as many album titles or single releases that have a colour in them
My current list of 30 (obvious) titles looks very poor compared to the 60 that someone else has.
The more obscure titles will allow me to be extremely smug when I “remember” them.
Do not lecture me I am on a low Moral Fibre diet.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Wire - Pink Flag
Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage
Brian Eno - Another Green World

I think you get the idea. Go to the website for any major online music retailer, and type in the artist’s name (Pinky Lee might be a good one to try). Type out the names of the albums, including the artist’s name as a part of the album names. Memorize them, as described above.
Just because you’re cheating, doesn’t mean you won’t be working hard.
singles:
“Blue Monday” by New Order
“White Room” by Cream

In my universe, the name of the atist is a part of the album title.
Of course, in my universe, the Supreme Being smites people who manufacture decaffeinated coffee and mild cheddar cheese, so take that for what it’s worth.
