Why are Terminal Moraine not in this thread?  The difficult second album "400ppm" prompted them to pursue solo careers.

This reminds me of the brief internet craze of several years ago for creating fictional album covers using random image searches and wikipedia articles.

A bit of googling turned up this, which explains the rules in a bit more detail:

Props to the Indy for not claiming in their headline that the game “is taking the internet by storm”.  Come the Democratic Ruthless Bastards takeover anyone using that wretched phrase will be summarily flung off the Great Orme with a trebuchet.

Yes, but is that the band, or the second album?

Brian Eno's “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)” would have been called “Taking The Internet (By Storm)” if there'd been a the Internet in 1974.  Brian Eno, however, would still have been called Brian Eno, with or without a trebuchet.

Above may contain traces of Lie.

How about I get 80% of the royalties and you get what's left from that after expenses plus a bowl of M&Ms, with all the brown ones removed?

Hmm. I can see the third album being called Hard Bargain.
