12 is definitely familiar, but I have some work to do now...
Stephen - November 12, 2007 09:45 AM (GMT)
All correct.
I ought to say that there are at least two albums here that I would not allow in my home.

Nice quiz but v tricky. 8 def looks like U2 or the Smiths or some rotten band like that lol
7 - maybe Japan ...it has that glacial look.
I can't even see what part of the body 10 could be. It looks like someone's tracksuit bottoms.
9 vaguely familar but no more than that.
Difficult.

I keep thinking 8 is Echo and the Bunnymen , Crocodiles but its not
spiring - November 15, 2007 08:19 PM (GMT)
8 seems to be the new album with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

Correct! I think that was the hardest one and am impressed that you got it.
7, 9 and 10 still needed.
Clues: one is a live album, one came out in 2007 and one is from 1985.
bradx - November 18, 2007 09:57 PM (GMT)
no.9 is Super Furry Animals - Hey Venus.

Yes!
7 & 10 only are still needed.
Stephen - November 26, 2007 08:12 AM (GMT)
OK, both 7 and 10 are albums by solo artists. One of them used to be in a group, then wasn't for a long time, but is again now. The other started out solo and was in a group briefly.
7 is an album I would never, ever listen to.
10 is OK but weak by this artist's standards at that time.
More clues available on request.
