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

106 = Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Yes and yes!

34 is Black Flag, dad a

So is 103 Meat Puppets?

Yep!

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

Hey, Pere Ubu!

Righty-o.

Woo hoo!

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

= Bonnie "Prince" Billy

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?

No! It's possible they weren't good matches (though the final three probably are, right down to the number of people) and the sleeves may not have been broadly renowned in the first place. But it remains a complete set--there are no more covers to add a dozen years later.

I'm kinda tempted to add more of these, but I haven't spotted a present day equivalent to that site.

Go betweens?

Yes!

Okay, just using Google images and browsing the dodgier matches...

I fear 2021 image search engines are way too accurate for this game!

ooh memories! :-D

Run the Jewels? This was a great thread.

Correct!

I tried another one earlier, using Bing. Again felt like the matches are just *too* good. But I'll post it...

(One of these is a The Weeknd cover, but standing in for something else.)

Is it The Feelies?

Silver Jews?

I hear the Purple Mountains album was almost called "How Do You Ilumi?"

Weezer?

Silver Jews (+Purple Mountains) is correct!

Switched to https://www.shutterstock.com image search, for more pleasingly 'random' results. This artist might have been done in 2008. I can't quite tell. Easy?

Talking Heads easy

^ Word!

#113 LOL

How do you make the collages?

113 - Sault?

Yes :)

XP: I'm sure there are a multitude of more elegant ways but I've just cut and pasted bits and pieces in MS Paint myself.

Oh man, I wonder how the images in the 'album covers rendered in MS Paint from memory' thread have held up over the long years.

Not entirely well, it seems.

BUT, it turns out I loved these threads so much (even if people blatantly started ignoring the "from memory" bit) that I saved the first two threads, images and all! And in the same folder, it appears I also saved the "Photoshop/MS Paint Nike and other evil corporations ruining famous album covers". Wonder if there is a sensible way of sharing here on board, if there is interest?

I totally ignored the 'from memory' bit, ashamed to say.

No idea how hard this is. A few pics are ridiculously OTM thematically, as well as chromatically.

Jim O'Rourke?

^ I can totally see how that could work! But no.

Incidentally, the 5th item is not a 'proper' LP, but some issues were vaguely LP-length.

Dinosaur Jr?

Correct!
