Here's how the game works:

You name a band, and then post a picture that relates to a song done by the band. Pretty simple, really... all you have to do is guess the name of the song vis a vis the picture! I'll start with an easy one:


Band: Gentle Giant

Peaches En Regalia it is!

As for posting the picture, I just worked it out too. One method: Set up an account at photobucket.com, save your picture to your album, copy the URL link, click the Add Image button on the Post Reply button bar, then paste in the URL link. Clear as mud?

 

Now, the Zeppelin song... how about Black Dog?

The Doors...

Hi Guzzman. The answer to this one is not "The Body Electric". A clue? The arc starts at the bottom and climbs to the top.

And I'm not seeing an image for the Styx song.

The Styx song is Boat On A River

The Rush song is not yet revealed!

As far as the song name goes, the contraption below shares the same name...and the name is from the Bible (from Genesis, even).

The Zappa song would be Sofa, right?

The Rush song, however, remains a mystery. It is not Spirit Of The Radio or any of the others that have gone before. (I had no idea this one would be so difficult...sorry!  )

The Rush song picture again...

The contraption in the picture shares the same name as the Rush song.

There is also a biblical reference with the same name (in a colloquial way, even though you will find a reference in a dictionary to this biblical thing using the same name as the Rush song...and the thing in the picture).

The Rush song actually has nothing to do with electricity. The electrical device gets its name because the arc you see starts at the narrow opening and climbs its way upwards towards... .

The key reference in the Bible is Genesis 28: 12-17. The Rush song is kinda along the same theme. The name of  the person said verses of the Bible may even be part of the song name.

Some lyrics (of which there are few) from said Rush song:

"The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen stormclouds
Have the light of day obscured
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture"

Believe it or not, that is a picture of a device called a Jacob's Ladder.

My understanding is it is named so because the arc starts at the bottom and climbs towards heaven, just like Jacob in his dream.

Gee, I thought I might of killed this thread with that one!

How about one from Emerson, Lake & Palmer...

I'm not sure about getting first prize for the observation of it being the cover to Selling England, but you do get first prize for identifying the song. The lyrics to I Know What I Like were based on that painting, or at least that's what the inlay says.
