Is the top left song from Talking Heads? Road to Nowhere?

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
You have done well Bobins. Without the dark arts of a google image search available I am not sure how if you don't know the album how you go from a picture to the album. I may well have posted some examples on the PE jukebox of course.

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
It could be but......
The setting for the cover was located at the Newhall Pass interchange of the Interstate 5 and California State Route 14 freeways near Sylmar, California that collapsed during the 1971 San Fernando earthquake.

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
Now that is exactly the sort of thing I like.....I don't know a single one of those gramophone records..so its going to be a delve! Of course the collective knowledge of the FCF might know some of them straight away before my delving is complete

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
Put it this way - I own at least a couple of thousand albums, I used to spend many Sundays (and occasional Saturdays IIRC) at the Brighton records fair, and I've long enjoyed extracting clues and information from picturesNewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 21:38 You have done well Bobins.

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
I only have a couple of dozen vinyl albums left and about 200 CD's but I do have my mate in Spain who has over 15000 records in his collection and as he keeps asking me to identify cars it seemed only natural to ask him to identify some album covers for me!! He came up with all the answers which I PM'd to Neil to avoid spoiling everyone else's fun Now back to sorting my choices, which I fear will be rather easy to identify as most of them are old and have the titles and artistes on the cover!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
His mate ought to be able to identify at least 3 of them immediately as they aren't that obscure

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
Unlike mine which are as common as muck but I like them and of course I can swap some out as time goes by I'll send the six to my mate and see but he is probably in bed by now cos he's an early riser. In the meantime here's mine:

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
Well he has come up with six titles and artists so I'll hide them if you don't want to see yet:

Re: FCF Desert Island Discs
As my album choices are so easy to identify I thought I'd put up the 9 artistes who are responsible for my choice of 9 singles to take with me. So 10 points for each song you can guess/identify
