Hey R&P..."Name that album" part 1!?

Question

Here's a little game that I've devised by taking pictures of a few vinyl albums within my collection. This is Part 1 of a series of similar questions I plan on asking over the coming weeks. I've tried to avoid using the front cover (as not to give to much info away), so most of the pics I'll be using will either be of the back cover, or inner gatefolds etc...So without any further ramblings, please try your best to name the following albums below...Band/Album title...a couple of these are super easy!

1) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3411.jpg

2) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3409.jpg

3) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3406.jpg

4) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3404.jpg

5) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3402.jpg

6) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/100_3400.jpg

8) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg97/rockitlauncher/11.jpg

I'll reveal front cover pics when I close this question...Thanks for playing!

Hi Smiley!
This should be fun!

1) The Association
2) Savoy Brown
3) Men At Work, Midnight Oil, or Kangaroo
4) Kim Mitchell
5) Roxy Music
6) Grand Funk Railroad
7) Japan 
8) Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds of the Western World

How'd I do?

Edit;  OK, I'm stumped on the rest of them!
Edit2, OK I'm guessing on the rest, this is driving me crazy!

None

I know 8 was just used as a answer by you, and was a Thin Lizzy question. and 6  + 7 look familiar.

If they all are Thin Lizzy .... I didn't have any of their albums to help me on this. Although I liked their earlier stuff pretty much.... Later they were more predictable. 

I would suck at this with all artists though, even if I have or had the album. Sorry to say most of it is HAD.

Good evening Smiley :)

Sad to say, I cannot name any of them, but I get the feeling I should know 6 & 7.

If you ever decide to give away your vinyl collection... I'll take a few hundred!


***
I had a feeling #8 was Thin Lizzy, but had no idea what the album was, and thought there was too few members with only 3...

Just to say that I can't really answer your album cover questions, even if I knew some or several of the albums...

As you know, some  R&P users might consider it as cheating......knowing that I could easily walk into your record room and check them out one by one :D

By the way, as some here mention already, your vinyl collection is awesome. I want to tell them that there are many more albums that can't be seen on these photos. I live in vinyl wonderland and when you spin them for me it is vinyl heaven!


ohhhh and Number 8 is Thin Lizzy!!! LOL.

What a brilliant question, and full credit for taking so much time and effort!

Alas, just 1, which I also think is Thin Lizzy. That Album Collection looks awesome!

Zappa Fan · Answer

I can't determine one.  But I will say this - your vinyl collection looks superb.  I would be like a kid in Disneyland if I could listen to some of those vinyl albums.  It's kind of sad that we lost all that great artwork that accompanies vinyl - a real merge between music and the visual arts.

Man, I can't name a damn one. :P Yeah one of the disadvantages about getting your music online is often you have no idea about the album covers, especially the back cover and inner sleeve. I'll take another look and see if I can venture a guess.
