Classic Rock Bottom Fall Tournament - Round 1 (Tony Blackburn Bracket)

[Mike Mills]

It's time for our Fall Tournament.  We are hosting another "album covers" tournament, but with a couple of ground rules.  They are:

1.  The album cover must contain a picture of at least one member of the band.

2.  No paintings, it must be a photograph (the photo may be altered).

3.  This must be the front cover (back covers or inner covers do not count).

4.  We have tried to keep this in the classic rock genre.

5.  It does not have to be a studio album.  Live albums and/or compilations are allowed.

One thing to keep in mind, sometimes the line between something being a photograph that has been altered and a painting is blurred.  Don't be uptight if you think one of these album covers is a painting.  The CRB crew did the best we could in coming up with these covers.  So enjoy and cast your votes.
