[sidenote, this is the most amazing game ever]

66 yes totally. what tipped you?

^^^already done for #22 (I almost chose the pepper, too!)

66 yes totally. what tipped you?

I think the lollipop woman's mischievous grin just reminded me of RDJ, actually! Then the monochrome clock sort of confirmed it. And the blue/white of Windowlicker.

man. don't know how i missed that. sorry, jaymc.

that said, i almost prefer the pepper to the actual cover.

70.a) http://static03.visualsearchlab.com/alamy/photos.square/34/82/A6CD88.jpg http://static02.visualsearchlab.com/alamy/photos.square/41/B4/AAMBBF.jpg http://static03.visualsearchlab.com/alamy/photos.square/DE/2E/A41EC3.jpg

xp I know, it's such a sad-looking pepper.

Now that I've redone #21 and Alex in MTL has redone #22, I predict the entirety of the 20s will be repeated, in order.

For the life of me, I can't quite get 21/52 but it's dancing right on the edge of my mind.

DIZZEE!!!!!

Yessir.

Sorry! Should be #72!

Hahaha, nice. Verve.

ok. last one before i go back and smack my head against the wall trying to get the unsolved ones, but i couldn't help but post after discovering the strong resemblance b/t the first picture and the album cover...

x-post -- Of course I could see Primal Scream using the second cover shot for real.

49. Wilco?

Yes. Thought I'd throw you off with the Woody Guthrie albums.

#32 is still in play. I'll say that the artist's album covers actually kinda looked like the examples being given by the web site.

I thought that #57 would have been figured out by now.

Ah, is #57 Echo & the Bunnymen up to the S/T record?

The colours look close to perfect, but I could be overly influenced by the boat in an Ocean Rain-ish purple setting!

Nice (& lucky I guess) touch with the "speech bubble" in 43c jaymc! :D

Oops I mean G00blar obv! Sorry.

P.S. Looking from a longer distance or taking off your glasses doesn't help too much

P.P.S. What the freak is #34??????????????

Talking Heads I think! The Rauschenberg colours did it.

I don't think anyone's going to get my #33, but I'll repost #31 properly, as it should actually not be that hard if you think about it.

These things are like magic eye puzzles for me. I can't figure them out at all, but as soon as one's guessed, I'm like Oh yeah!

How is anyone getting these? It seems basically impossible to me.

A lifetime of thumbing through records. You train your eyes to recognize The B-52's debut in a flash so you can get on with your search for Touch: "Without You" (Supertronics 1987) as quickly as possible.

63 - The Zombies?

Fuck, I mean 64.

Ah, is #57 Echo & the Bunnymen up to the S/T record?

Yes!

Oh! 58 is Michael Jackson, right?

Is 70 Broken Social Scene?

Great thread this btw.

Yes! Was it the orange-y one that clued you in? In retrospect, it's the only one that REALLY matches.

31 is La Dusseldorf.

75.

xpost re 31: wow. If that's not correct, it should be. You people are crazy good at this.

Mister Craig is correct, 31 is La Dusseldorf. It probably helped that he knows my music taste quite well, hehehe.

75 is Blur

(very good it is, too)

Blur correct!

Right, I'm off to trawl through Krautrock canon to try to get emil.y's #33! (Not really. Hint, emil.y? E.g. years?)

76: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/greatesthit/albcov10.jpg

62 is still on the table. The first pic should be the giveaway.

Is 76 the Smiths?

anatol, #33 is a current band, if that helps.
