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

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

#4 in that one gave me two topless women.

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.

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

abanana, Saturday, 29 November 2008 23:04 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

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".

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Sunday, 30 November 2008 00:59 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Beautiful South?

Pretty much every single one of these looks like the Beautiful South to me.

LOL!

How obscure is #34, bendy?

Kevin John Bozelka, Sunday, 30 November 2008 03:34 (fifteen years ago) link

34 is Black Flag, kind of.

Nope

youcangoyourownway, Sunday, 30 November 2008 06:43 (fifteen years ago) link

105 is Coldplay. The fourth picture is quite amusing

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 30 November 2008 10:28 (fifteen years ago) link

106 = Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Kevin John Bozelka, Sunday, 30 November 2008 10:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Yes and yes!

youcangoyourownway, Sunday, 30 November 2008 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link

34 is Black Flag, dad a

bendy, Sunday, 30 November 2008 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link

So is 103 Meat Puppets?

dad a, Sunday, 30 November 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link

Yep!

bendy, Sunday, 30 November 2008 15:49 (fifteen years ago) link

I TOTALLY lost on which album is which on 34 = Black Flag, esp. albums #3 and #6. Help?

This looks like too much fun, I had to add one to the pile

#2 is v. v. similar, #3 colours are v. close but not what i expected to get
I want you guys to get it quickly, so I'll say it's a selected discography of 'major' 'non-collaborative' lps of a current artist

twelve years pass...

This was an amusing thread. Amazingly many of the images remain. Looks like my #90 is still waiting for the correct answer!

it’s not Joni Mitchell is it?
