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

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.

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...):

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...)

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.
