Because I like polluting my home page with scary images from the depths of my CD collection, I bring you this little guessing game: Name That Band!
(As a bit of a sidenote, Shannon and I are both ripping all of our CDs to a server so that we can put them into deep storage forevermore. As I was ripping this one, she came in and incredulously asked, “You’re not just throwing that away?!?” Fair point… but I’m a sucker for the music of my teenage years.)
It starts with an “a” right? They did 68 guns?

• Posted by: Jason on Apr 24, 2006, 3:17 PMIt’s The Alarm, isn’t it?
• Posted by: John on Apr 24, 2006, 3:54 PMThat is most definitely The Alarm, which were kind of like a poor man’s Big Country, weren’t they?
• Posted by: Neil on Apr 24, 2006, 4:08 PMThat IS The Alarm. My favorite is Twist (the guy on the far right); his picture on the back of the liner notes is even better than this one.
Sadly, they had a few good tunes, but ruined themselves with that whole getup…
