Create a great lost album cover!

Rules:

1. Take a random wikipedia article - thats your bands name. If you get the name of a band or musician, you must reroll. If you get a pure number or the name of a person (living or dead), you may reroll. You may remove disambiguation or other parenthesised material. lynkke

2. Take a random page on wikiquote and choose one sourced quote - thats your albums title. If you get a page with no quotes (eg a pure number), you must reroll. If you get a work of fiction, including anything music related, you may reroll. lynkke

3. Choose an image from one of the rule profiles below - thats your album cover. You may crop the image and/or make any other adjustments as desired.

A. Take a random image from wikimedia commons. If you get a picture of a band or musician, you must reroll. If you get an image that includes people, you may reroll. lynkke

B. Select an image from wikimedia commons. lynkke

C. Select an image from Flickrs "Last 7 Days". lynkke

D. Select an image from Flickrs "Explore / Creative Commons". lynkke

E. Select an image from anywhere on the internet. lynkke

Y. Select one of your own photographs. (State when and where taken if possible.)

Z. Create original artwork.

4. Compose a square, 1200x1200 image using all of the above and your skill and judgement. You may include (invented) record company logos, bar codes and/or track listings, or anything else you deem appropriate. If you require track titles, obtain them according to the following schedule:

A. All track titles are taken from the original wikiquote page you obtained in 2 above.

B. All track titles are taken from a second wikiquote page rolled in accordance with rule 2 above.

Z. Create your own track titles.

5. Upload your cover here.

1. Please be considerate about size. A typical image of that resolution should be about 256 to 384 KiB. If yours is much larger, something may be wrong.

2. To minimise the possibility of naming conflicts, your file should be named as follows: catenate the band and album names; convert to lower case; replace strings of successive illegal filename characters (eg questionmark) with a single underscore; separate words by hyphens. Thus, for example, the album Say what??? No way! by the band Bar Fighters would be represented by the image "bar-fighters-say-what_-no-way!.jpg".

3. Include in the summary the selected rule profile and schedule, the lynkkes you rolled (where applicable) and, optionally, any other relevant information (eg image adjustments made, fonts used). You may include brief comments about how the image was made, or how you envisage the band and/or album, but please keep in mind rule 6.

6. Discussion of the image goes on the images Talk page. Discussion of the category goes on the categories Talk page.
