34, picture 3 is bringing up a strong memory - I'm seeing a sleeve with pink background, TV in the middle ground showing static, a few blue graphics and type in a calculator-stylee. But I cannot for the life of me remember what the album is.

harder, i think.

for 34, number two is probably the key one, the most perfect match chromatically.

You are correct.

(I didn't include Gling-Glo, Telegram, or the album she made when she was 11, just 'cause I thought that would be too confusing.)

Yeah. I was tempted to pick less obvious photos, but I'm sort of in awe about how close #5, for instance, resembles Gimme Fiction.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 22:12 (fifteen years ago) link
#'s 5 and 6 were the keys to that one.

Talking of similarity, I may have found the ultimate band for images to render the whole asking nearly obsolete (provided one remembers them, that is):

Carter USM, that is. Wikipedia tells me they are still releasing greatest hits nearly every year.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 22:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Huh. And here I was thinking that #3 was Zooropa.

I don't believe it really exists.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 22:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Just as well. (So 47 = MBV, for completeness.)
Another good band for near-tautological picks:
