They're all left edges, by the way.

Edit: Correct answers

1, 2, and 5 have been identified.

I will say the rest are internationally flavored. All but 4 call somewhere other than the US home. 2 and 3 have something in common, as do 4 and 8. 7 and 8 aren't too far off. 9 is the other side of the world. Finally, they would all be downtempo, in my book. (Of the entire group, including those identified, 1 is the outlier.)

 

[Robot 492]

here are a few:

guessed:

1. Alvvays - Alvvays
5. Hop Along - Painted Shut

 

[blame space]

sorry I was talking about screamo for a second, which for some reason some people take seriously.

2 is Elliott Smith?

shit, it's not. I was sure it was either/or

 

[torre_avenue]

Underrated record from 2014, by a trio consisting of two big names and one more underground.

EDIT: nskinnear, first one is by Alvvays, can't remember the name though.

Motherfucker, this came up in my Spotify Discover Weekly last week, but I didn't save it. No idea who it is.

EDIT: oops

 

[blame space]

god, there's so many of these that are never even going to be attempted. I hope you're happy.

 

[keffri]

Aww fuck, that last one looks super familiar.

If you're still wondering.

 

[blame space]

I definitely was wondering.

😈

 

[Fat4all]

If you're still wondering.

Ahh, Touhou, of course.

 

[Fat4all]

Last one I'm making, one a bit older than the others I've done.

Maybe I'll give a hint or two.

Released in the 70's, by an American band, was a pretty successful album.

 

[Robot 492]

1: Cocteau Twins - Treasure

[mango drank]

we should probably put a limit on the time given to others to guess. Maybe 12+ hours after a post w/ album cover strips has gone up? Then the original poster edits their post, providing the remaining answers.
