PRINTOUT PUZZLE: [ BEQ’s TOP FIVE ALBUMS OF THE ’00S]

PROGRAM: [Adobe Acrobat]

This one might be dead easy if we listen to similar music, or if you ever saw shows with me, or if we were roommates once. This one might be nigh-impossible if none of those apply to you, or if you’ve never heard of any of this stuff before. So, how do I rate this one? Easy? Hard? Medium? A portmanteau of all three words? No, instead: put your hands together for another BEQ.com debut: the “???” difficulty rating. Enjoy!

Oh, and I’m a total jerk. I should have put some spoiler space above the picture as I’m holding up a copy of 17-Across in that blurry picture up above. Forgive me.

Well, since I guess I’m already giving away some of the answers, here’s some YouTube links of the material: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. Relive the ’00s with me.

Quick thought: Thanks to all who were able to give a little bit to the tip jar so far. Every penny helps immensely toward keeping this site independent and running smoothly (have I mentioned my laptop died and needs replacing?) Any tip is a way of saying thanks for the puzzles this month (or year). And again, I will give any object from the BEQ.com store (t-shirt, mug, you name it) to one randomly selected donor. Thanks again.

Share the puzzle. Tell me how amazing my taste in music is in the comments section. (Or, conversely, tell me how much it sucks or what I missed.) New puzzle on Friday.
