Cover for the new U2 "Days of Ash" extended play: four silhouettes of the band in the foreground. Two angels on a purple and white background.

Cover of Radiohead's "OK Computer" album. This is a pastiche of images including a frozen highway in the foreground and various other images on the periphery, some blurred.

Cover of the Genesis album "Wind and Wuthering." A tree on a foggy, cloudy day standing alone in a field.

Cover of the Genesis album "Trick of the Tail." Shows a succession of 19th Century characters interacting.

Time for the Saturday music game with the last four albums played this week. Turn these up to the appropriately loud level.
