Do you think band photos are kinda funny?

I was just on the Raconteurs website and while looking through the photos section......I couldn't help but think how goofy some of them are (mainly the photos where they ARE trying to be serious).

Ok, I know why they do it and all that good stuff but sometimes I can't help but laugh at these types of phots bands post. I love the Raconteurs and all and I'm sure I can think of many other bands as well.

I'm not being an ass or anything It just struck me as funny and I was kind of curious as to what some of you thought.

I think we could probably make some sort of band press photo bingo.

Items could include:
[ ] Band in front of decrepit industrial/urban background
[ ] Low-angle shot
[ ] Band members all facing different ways and in different distance from the camera
[ ] One or more band members in the air
[ ] Black and white photo
[ ] Super high-contrast photo
[ ] City skyline in the background


Bingo!

I know it's an album cover - but the checklist part of band members staring off into different directions always makes me think of this one.

If we can think of a few more, I'd have no problem making band photo / album cover bingo cards.

Don't forget to include album cover fonts:

[ ] Unreadable text
[ ] All lower-case letters
[ ] If name of band is two words in length, one word is bold and the other is not
[ ] Font appears handwritten, but is really not

it's the band Immortal. this was a picture from inside an album sleeve. I think there's a list of most ridiculous metal pictures and it's usually #1

Rap would have it's own set of these:

Rappers:

With dogs
With a bunch of gold shit on
With scantily clad women
Holding some type of alcohol
The artist's name in diamond-encrusted letters
