I found this on another forum I'm on.

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The article title is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Some of the results from this are strangely credible, in an art-school band kind of way. Here's the cover of And Those Who Don't, the someday-to-be-released album by my as-yet-unformed band, Embroynal Carcinoma:

Um, my band is "2 Gyrlz Performative Arts" (I don't think CB's gonna like that:nono: )

My album is "Improve his soul's estate" (I'm thinking 2 Gyrlz would probably accomplish that:beer: )

However, the album cover is pretty cool.:AOK:

I guess we're some kinda alternative/emo band, new idols just sounds like it, there's death in the album title and the cover is a picture of a rose. I like the punchlines better!

I thought the OP was asking forumites for the names of their bands, and for those band's first albums/covers.
