    Kewl. Pick an album, eradicate the name, rename the image and post it. A couple of pages back (page 16) there is a list of all the album covers posted so far. I'll update it shortly.

    I dunno, I really suck at this game, I never know any them. :confused:

    Then I realized unlike you rich kids we were very poor and I never got to own many albums just a couple throw aways, I had to buy 45's with the few pennies I collected carrying groceries.:o Only had one friend who had TT that could even play an album, but his parents did not like me coming over, I was always pinning for a piece of bread.

    You audio rich guys buying whole sets of songs on one disc.:p

    I will keep trying though. I swiped a Rascal's album once, put that up I might get it.

    What a sob story. I'm crying like a baby here. I bet when they sent me those pictures of the poor starving children....your's was there. I bet kids in China felt sorry for you and sent you food. Had I only known you then, I could have taken some of my trust funds and given it to you or maybe we could have hired you to carry the groceries. All I can say is "let them eat cake". ;)

    I will still accept a donation from your "trust fund". It's never to late to right the injustice and damage done to my psyche.

    OK, my guess is Half Face, No Hands--The Monkees.

    I need a big hint.

    If I did, it might destroy your character and make you "soft". I don't think I could live with that.

    Only thing I got in common with rich is a first name. I was so poor as a kid I couldn't afford to pay attention.:D

    Come on guys, this cover ain't so bad.

    Another hint, so we can get moving...

    In "Grumpy Old Men" they sat inside these on a frozen lake and drank beer and caught fish.

    Not too obscure as this band shows up in a few threads here.

    This album was the bands third released in the year 2000. It was remastered and reissued in 2004 with the same name but different cover art. While album art may not hint at an albums title, the reissue sure did.

    So who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Supposedly, one of the band members wasn’t as he read at least one of her books. It is claimed the bands name came from her novel The Mark On the Wall in which the author described the working middle class.

    The album title, what you might look at in the sky along with a cold place.

    EDIT: Spellin'

    The 2004 reissued album to the cover in post 539. Like the images a shrink would show you, one might conjure up some interesting answers.

    Neither bold nor self-assertive, along with a rodent. Or, copy and paste seven consecutive words at the end of a sentence and you will need to sift the chafe from the grain for an answer, but fourteen.....
