Recognize Discographies from Approximate Colour Schemes! (an ILM cover game)

wtf, how can it be one or the other of those two, they're completely different!

Well, I don't know, T; you'll just have to make like Summer Sanders and FIGURE IT OUT

I'm probably wrong, but 86 really looks like Brainticket to me.

Ah, but 86b probably scuppers that, as I have no idea what that could be.

86 is not Brainticket

85 should be easy though.

LOVE the (x or y) thing myself; UK vs US issues (e.g.) kept me from doing a couple, and this is obv The Way Forward.

xpost I'm sorry Daavid, claiming something is easy is not enough to make it so. :p :p

non-xpost: erm yes drunX0r :D

59 = Spacmen 3.

Yes!

I know, I just thought it would be. But of course, since I posted it, I'm not very good judge.

One hint:
77 is an 80s band. Those albums have been unavailable on CD for a while, but are now available.

HOW DID I NOT GET S3

ps mine is 95 i guess

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!

Okay, so apparently I can't actually stop making these.

96.

I'll bet people who are good at this are also good at the game Set.

xpost: Gots to be Magnetic Fields

Yes!

96. http://i33.tinypic.com/w87zph.png

er, 97

98

#4 in that one gave me two topless women.

99. http://i36.tinypic.com/qskqs9.png

Yeah, sorry, it was from Hurting's Fugazi q, number 27. But it made me think of this Polvo album:

Aha! That's exactly the album I was thinking of when I said that image reminded me of something else. I had a feeling the band was on Merge and/or started with a P, but dumbly I looked up the Portastatic discography instead.

101. (sorry for the ghetto editing)

hint for 99: you should be able to get it from the first 4. #5 and #6 are the worst approximations.

These last few seem tantalisingly familiar, and yet...

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.

Here's number 34 again ....

103. and to help everyone along, their similarly vibrant label-mates:

...tho' the labelmate's career continued past these.

102 is Can

Correct sir! I'm still amused by that "Monster Movie".

Hint for 96: #2 is the closest one. The artist has made records under different names which I didn't include.

Luomo

yes!

Beautiful South?

LOL!

How obscure is #34, bendy?

34 is Black Flag, kind of.

Yes and yes!

34 is Black Flag, dad a
