- 4 (by both Toto & Foreigner)
Edit: nope. Neither one of those
I remember hearing once that Adele's album titles correspond with her age when the album was released, so my guess is that she has a couple albums on that list. However, I'm not an Adele fan, so I couldn't begin to tell you what the titles are.
Tact is the ability to step on a man's toes without messing up the shine on his shoes - Harry S Truman

- Pearl Jam Ten on the list?
Good clarification on the Led Zeppelin albums. I'd also have to think "Ten" is on there.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
- Pearl Jam Ten on the list?
That is indeed the remaining answer.
I'm sure most of you know this, Pearl Jam's original band name was "Mookie Blaylock." Obviously had to change it, so they named their first album after his number.

I think there’s still one more. I looked it up. Yeah there’s no way I’d ever get that one. My sister who is five years my senior? (she’s 44) Sure maybe.
I think I have that one actually (I know I have one of their albums) and I wouldn’t have gotten it.
WELL, WHAT IS IT?! 😉

II
*headslap*
I admit, the exclusion of “IV”/”Zoso” led me to believe II would be excluded. Oops.
It is. That is “Led Zeppelin II.” The album in question is Boyz II Men’s second album, titled just “II”.
I have egg on my face. Didn't realize the official title was "Led Zeppelin II," and not just "II"

I looked it up, and Cloud Atlas is definitely on the list.
The Matrix movies, however, aren't. I presume it was because they were still the Wachowski brothers at the time, not sisters.
