Stealing a couple of ideas from other forums and combining them.
The aim is to post up the name of an album or band / artist either in the form of an anagram or as an excerpt from a picture or album cover for others to try and guess. Or you can do both if you like. Or perhaps a trivia question with some clues if you'd prefer. It's just for fun so there are no set rules and you can be as creative as you like! Heck you could even do a poem or limerick
When someone guesses correctly (hopefully) it's then their turn to do one. Or they can opt to pass their turn onto someone else by saying "free go - if I'm correct".
So a couple of examples:
Shot By Popes = Pet Shop Boys
taken from Strange Days - The Doors
In some cases it may be a bit too cryptic so some additional clues can be added to help (e.g this band collaborated with Dusty Springfield, had a US no. 1 in 1974) or additional excerpts from an album cover added every day or so.
And if after 3 days say nobody has figured it out the answer can be revealed and a new one posted. Although there is no harm in having a couple on the go at any one time.
Have fun!

Pics or clips can be uploaded to an image hosting service like Photobucket and the 'direct link' then copied and added to your post (click on the picture icon at the top to paste in the link).
NB. be sure to give your image file a generic name when saving it , e.g. clue 1, rather than include the name of the album or artist - this info is visible to anyone viewing the html code
