Thanks Guzzman,
 
You will all have to bear with me while I figure this picture thing out - believe it or not I do graphics at work!
(Mind you it is all with either AutoCAD or Visio)

Welcome to the Progressive Rebus, Firepuck, and thanks for your puzzle. I'm afraid it doesn't fully match with the rules of the game, but as we can see from Memo's answer, it's close enough. Nevertheless I'd like to ask you to stick to the rules, as we've had something like this before.

The one you dind'nt solved was "Jethro tull":

That's not really a proper rebus.  The idea is that a picture is spelt the same (with the possible addition or removal of letters) as the word (or portion of the word) it's supposed to represent, or it sounds the same.  "Jet-throat-tool" is too far removed from "Jethro Tull".


Thanx and please don't feel put off, we love to get new puzzles!

Memo: I can't really decipher your third pic, so all I can do is guess. Is it "Cabezas De Cera"?

Here we have an album title:


yes cabezas de Cera it is!

Oh yes, and for your puzzle: Could it be that you're looking for "Permanent Waves"?

And - strechting the rules of the Progressive Rebus myself LOL - here is a three word song title (not really prog, but at least one band here in the Archives played it):
"We've got to get in to get out"

^ yes, permanent waves.

Roll Over Beethoven!
 
I'll start working on another...

Let's make it a little bit more difficult with the first word of this three word band name:
"We've got to get in to get out"

The "Dutch" threw me off ... I was looking for a Dutch band, not a Polish one ... but I got there in the end...
 
Kont Ra Burger Big smile
 
Firepuck, Guzzman said we have all streched the rules from time to time. I think this is fairly close to the mark ... I can recall submitting pictures of five bridges for The Nice album Five Bridges Wink
 
Next ... should be a very easy two-word song title...
"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

And your's is "Arch Angel" by Andromeda, if I'm not mistaken.

This one isn't prog again, but the band is in the Archives (Proto-Prog), thus I take the liberty to include this song title in the Rebus:

I think that you're looking for "Tin Cans And String" but I can't name a band Cry

Next is an album:

I am still a pain in the a** Wink Ask my kids!
 
Tin Cans And String ... not quite ...and another word for String is... Question
 
Guzzman, I think your's would be Monkey Trial by Hardscore Approve
 
Even thou' my last one has not quite been solved - but I am sure it is only a word away - I give you another puzzle ... a three-word compilation set title...

Oh yes, I know what you're talking about. Aren't all grown-ups pains in the backsides of the younger generation? Guess I know what my son would say. LOL

I'll take the second chance and go for "Tin Cans And Twine" and can even come up with a band name: Tortoise.
Plus you've been asking for "Orange Light Years" by Edgar Froese.

This is a song title:
"We've got to get in to get out"

It took a little while to see the glass as a tumbler Clap
 
...The Stumbler by Madrigal, from the album On My Hands Question
 
Next ... a two-word album title ... one that I think Guzzman would probably have in his collection...
"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

That's quite ok, Memo, since I was still trying to find the "c"s and the "t" in "doner kebap".Ouch

So here we go with a new one, another two-word album title:


And, btw, T.Rox: The Stumbler it was!

 Could this be Brain Waves by Third Ear Band Question
 
I am thinking along the line of the "fencing mesh" being a series of sine waves Big smile
 
Let me assume I am right and give you another puzzle!
 
This one is a bit like Led Zeppelin and Houses Of The Holy - both an album and a song on a later album by the same group ... four words...

Nope, my dear T.Rox, for the first time I can't give you the points. Sorry.
Want a hint? Don't think of brain, concentrate on the yellow bit in the first picture. And for the second pic, those aren't waves, try another word for mesh...

Your's is "Sleepy Eyes And Butterflies" from The Spacious Mind, album with that title in 1983 and then a song on "Sailing The Seagoat"  in 1996.
