STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS COVER CONNECTIONS: THE GAME!

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
I always liked these; and since we haven't done it for so long, I think it's time for a revival, especially since I thought up a pretty cool game to accompany it! You know the basics: Post a cover that has an obvious visual (or verbal) connection to the previous one. First person who can complete the circle by connecting to the very first one - by visual OR personnel link - wins!

A few rules (my game!): 1. Except for the win, connections based solely on an individual (eg. Nirvana/Foo Fighters) are NOT permitted. 2. The same performer can't appear twice in a row. 3. Obvious parodies/tributes ("Sgt. Pepper's" dozen takeoffs) are NOT permitted to link with one another. 4. Only ONE cover per post, please!

Finally, I'd appreciate keeping the images fairly small, like 300 X 300 pixels or less (makes it load faster!)

OK, I'll start it off. Have fun!

(Uh, I may not need to clarify this at all, but just in case: When I used the world "individual" I meant "individual OR individuals." Meaning that you can't link Jane's Addiction to Porno for Pyros, even tho they had THREE common members. Carry on.)

Hmmm. I don't think it actually is an homage. I mean, Rivers C. grew up as a big metal fan. Weezer don't sound like they've picked up anything from the Feelies either. I think it's a coincidence, personally. I could be wrong, of course.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 1 October 2005 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah... welll... i don't get the connection between the clark sisters and autechre. unless that was meant to go back to the beatles one.

― Dan Gr (certain), Saturday, 1 October 2005 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

the white background connects ghost world and the kiss cover, and i think the color and line pattern roughly connects the clark sisters and autechre...maybe it was supposed to go back to the beatles, though.
