Magical Mystery Album Cover Game

I'm not sure how long this quiz will last given that it requires more effort than most to post a question but I'll give it a stab anyway as I enjoy these types of games. I've seen this type of thing on other forums and it's good fun.

Basically post part of a well-known or somewhat well-known album cover (any genre) and whoever guesses it goes next. Naturally, try to pick an area of the image that gives some clue to the album without making it blatantly obvious.

That's the one!

I feel, if you want this quiz to have longevity, you may be advantaged by giving tips on the most efficient way of doing this, as I certainly would give it a miss with most of the options I can think of.

Good advice.

1) Google Image search by album title and save one of the resulting pics.
2) Load the pic in Photoshop or even MS Paint would do and crop the part you want to post.
3) Upload to your usual image hosting service. I just use my own ISP-provided webspace.
4) Embed the pic in your post via the button.

I realise for many people this may be a time-consuming task, as I intimated in the original post. It takes me a couple of minutes per pic as I've done image editing like this many times before. I personally don't see it as much effort, as I enjoy the challenge of creating an image that gets people thinking, but I can fully understand how difficult something like this is for less computer-literate types.

I'll post another one to keep it going and we'll see how we go.

You have to have Paint on your PC man. It's standard with all Windows releases. If you're using Vista just type Paint in the Search bar on your Start Menu or if you're on XP go to Programs - Accessories.

There are also flash based programs on the web!

well whaddaya know...not the best job but you get the drift.

Well that's weird. I clicked on the "blocked" link and it opened up for me on the Imageshack site. So it seems just the embedded images are having problems here.

Any clues? That looks quite familiar to me.

part of the album title is almost spelled out in that pic. not really a clue but see how you go.

i worked out the word, and googled what i thought it was, and i was correct, but i used google! *cheat*

good choice there timmy!

I figure there's "DANCE" in the title somewhere plus the edge piece of clothing there looks like it's some funky 80s business but that's all I've got.

Is it a full album?

yeah i think so.

This is plaguing me, can't work it out but I know the album cover.

Damn! Good one, I thought it was some black guy after the previous clue!

Do you want to go again? Or if you can't be bothered I'll throw something up.

Forgot I answered this, so I've gone an easier one.

Hopefully the image works. Work filter blocks 99% of the commonly used image hosting sites.
