Been playing around with this image matching thingy, inputting links to record covers and picking the results most likely to provide hints...
So, which bands have discographies looking vaguely like this?
1 (easiest one I suppose):http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b356/olem/colalb04.jpg

Both correct! (I thought there was far more yellow on Computer World, maybe an LP vs CD thing?)

I promised to stop too, but here's one I previously thought too difficult. The images are accurate in that 8 out 9 feature people.

Nag! Nag! Nag! Re: 90 do you mean that all pics with people in them correspond to covers with people in them?
― daavid, Friday, 28 November 2008 03:10 (seventeen years ago)
...but the colours also match right?
― daavid, Friday, 28 November 2008 03:12 (seventeen years ago)
It should probably be a wise idea to stop posting pictures until the previous discography is guessed, otherwise the game looses its momentum. Just saying.
― Moka, Friday, 28 November 2008 03:13 (seventeen years ago)
daavid, re #90:
yes, the colours match as usual. Was just a bonus hint: the images with people correspond to covers that included people. (Rather than other stuff which just happened to have similar colours to these particular configurations of people.). The numbers of people only match exactly in about half of the cases though. LOL.

Weird when you find one which REALLY reminds you of an album cover which you know isn't the right answer, so you stick that album through the grinder, and none of the results resemble the original pic. I got that with these two (not same artist) (might do the actual artists, but one is maybe unsportingly obscure, and the other this is the only album art of theirs I could even recall, so...):

Yeah, sorry, it was from Hurting's Fugazi q, number 27. But it made me think of this Polvo album:http://www.southern.com/southern/band/POLVO/pics/19114.jpg
Not even sure so much why, now. (Thought the other was Black Dog - Spanners, and that one's not answered - number 84 - but given that Geir posted it and I don't recognise the others, it's not really going to be...)

hint for 99: you should be able to get it from the first 4. #5 and #6 are the worst approximations.

These last few seem tantalisingly familiar, and yet...
A hint for #90: the now defunct band hailed from somewhere other than the UK or US, and looking again now, parts 7 and 9 are actually very close to the original covers.

No! It's possible they weren't good matches (though the final three probably are, right down to the number of people) and the sleeves may not have been broadly renowned in the first place. But it remains a complete set--there are no more covers to add a dozen years later.

Not entirely well, it seems.
BUT, it turns out I loved these threads so much (even if people blatantly started ignoring the "from memory" bit) that I saved the first two threads, images and all!
