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.
― chap, Thursday, 27 November 2008 16:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

Ah, is #57 Echo & the Bunnymen up to the S/T record?
Yes!
― Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 27 November 2008 19:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh! 58 is Michael Jackson, right?

Is 70 Broken Social Scene?
Great thread this btw.
― Gavin in Leeds, Thursday, 27 November 2008 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes! Was it the orange-y one that clued you in? In retrospect, it's the only one that REALLY matches.

xpost re 31: wow. If that's not correct, it should be. You people are crazy good at this.
― anatol_merklich, Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Mister Craig is correct, 31 is La Dusseldorf. It probably helped that he knows my music taste quite well, hehehe.
― emil.y, Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:18 (fifteen years ago) link
75 is Blur
― I'm Richard (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:18 (fifteen years ago) link
(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?)

62 is still on the table. The first pic should be the giveaway.
― I'm Richard (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Is 76 the Smiths?
anatol, #33 is a current band, if that helps.
― emil.y, Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:33 (fifteen years ago) link
The third one? Yeah, the colours match perfectly.
I'm guessing Jay-Z for #76...
― Gavin in Leeds, Thursday, 27 November 2008 23:35 (fifteen years ago) link
76 is not the Smiths, nope.
xp Correct! Jay-Z it is.

This one may be hard, although an act with mostly very distinctive covers:
