Rock Album Cover Game
Comments
-
Well, I debated between this one and another.
This one might be tough. I know the cover is pretty un-distinctive. I was going to take a better picture of my own copy, but it's still shrink-wrapped and would have taken some effort to photograph. Here's a couple of built-in hints: This band is an '80's band, but their membership had ties to several '70's rockers. And, I think this may have been the last vinyl LP I purchased new, when record stores were still record stores. -
Night Rangers, Man in Motion.
Just post the album cover first, and make us bark like dogs for clues.;)
Keyboard player Alan "Fitz" Fitzgerald was one of the early members. His priors were with Montrose and Sammy Hagar. I remember them opening for ZZ Top once.Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 * -

Yeah, that must have been easier than I thought. "Fitz" was gone before this album came out, I think. The hints didn't exactly give it away though. I'm figuring you have to be something of a Night Ranger fan to know that one, as it wasn't a big-selling album.

They were actually named the Rangers at first, but another band had the name so they added 'Night.'Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *

I have a feeling the other one I was going to post has already been posted. (Going back through 16 pages is not fun on my slow dial-up) So I guess I'll try this one. Is this rock?

This one's decidedly pop-rock. Since no one is answering, here's a big clue: This group had a big hit on a (hit-filled)soundtrack in 1986.

This alternative rock group is regarded as being among the most fearlessly creative bands of their era, although they are not universally popular. Some members of older, popular rock groups say this is one of the greatest modern rock bands, but they don't enjoy the commercial success of those early outsider bands. The '93 album took it's name from a Jerky Boys skit.Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *
