Talk:The Fifth Estate (band)

Needs some work
This article seems to be written by a band member, and needs to be edited to remove POV, irrelevant asides, and to establish a proper perspective on the group. This band is notable, and deserves an article -- it just needs to be made encyclopedic. 172.165.177.105 (talk) 07:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

b/w
What does b/w mean in the discography? Web search indicates it probably is "backed with" and indicates a background song like Dido on Stan by Eminem. It is not a great term and the b/w doesn't help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.27.162.232 (talk) 23:33, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

B/W is standard usage in the industry for 'backed with', as you found, but it refers to the song that's on the other side of the record, not a reference to any swipe or sample. Comes from the days when records had two sides of music, not just one like a cd. Perhaps 'coupled with' is more understandable these days. Brieflysentient (talk) 18:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Meger proposal
Proposal to merge D-Men into this article. Its the same band with a name change, so normal practice is to have one article.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 00:06, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. As a very minor subject, the D-Men article is never going to get expanded in any way that's within WP rules, and as said above, it's normal to include such info in later, better-known, band's entries. Brieflysentient (talk) 09:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Monkees Reference Inaccurate
The sentence implying the Monkees "covered" the Fifth Estate version of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!" , on their final episode, "The Frodis Caper" , is wrong. They sing one verse of the song, as "Ding Dong The ORC Is Dead!" , and there's nothing that differentiates it from the "Wizard of Oz" version or "The Fifth Estate" version. 75.104.174.128 (talk) 20:44, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
