The Grand Illusion is the seventh studio album by Styx. Recorded at Paragon Recording Studios in Chicago, it was released on July 7, 1977 and sold over three million copies in the US (Triple Platinum). Some estimates have the album at over 5 million copies sold. The album launched the band to stardom and spawned the hit singles "Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself." 

But this cache is just an opportunity to look at some cool album art by various artists and bands and solve a puzzle at the same time. Let me know which is your favorite band or album art of the ones displayed in your log.


Can you see it?

White Light/White Heat is the second studio album by American rock band the Velvet Underground, released in 1968 by record label Verve.


Big rock or little Cher?

Heart of Stone is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on June 19, 1989 by Geffen Records.


How many 'Best of' albums do they have?

Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith is a compilation album by American hard rock band Aerosmith released on October 17, 2006.


Can you see the hula dancer?

Santana is the debut studio album by American Latin rock band Santana. It was released on August 30, 1969. Over half of the album's length is composed of instrumental music.


I bet you can see the dancers on this one but how many?

Spanish heavy metal band Hamlet was formed in Madrid in 1987. The first two albums are great 80s metal with lots of attitude. In 1994 they switched to hardcore metal and the band never mentions them and they are not even on their website.


The metaphor for life is the harvest but can you see death?

Wake of the Flood is the sixth studio album by rock band the Grateful Dead. Released October 15, 1973, it was the first album on the band's own Grateful Dead Records label.


Did you have to look twice at this one?

Retro Active is a compilation album by the English hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1993. The album features touched-up versions of B-sides and previously unreleased recordings from the band's recording sessions from 1984 to 1993. It provided a treat for diehard fans, and closed the door on the "Steve Clark" era of the band who was their guitarist who passed in 1991.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
