Hi, this is the Progressive Rebus. The rules are simple: Find out the meaning of the pictures shown, connect and come up with the name of a band. Here's an example:  plus  =Pendragon  Ok, give it a try, this one should be easy:   ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

Glass Hammer. Do the pictures make this one a little cryptic?

Yeah, Mategra, you got it!! The band you're looking for is AMBER LIGHT As "Painted Man" seemed to be a little bit too difficult  , the next should be easier to find out. It's a band:  ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

Given that we are playing rebus here, where the pictures spell out the answer completely - albeit cryptically at times - the only possible answers for this rebus puzzle would appear to be Earth ...or... World ...or... Planet. In essence, Earthrise would require two pictures: one to depict the Earth and another to give the word rise, joined with a + sign. (And given the clue that the song title & album share the same name it can't be Camel's Earthrise from Mirage.) And at this stage I am not sure we have solved this puzzle from Guzzman...

T.Rox is correct: The puzzle wasn't solved and the picture surely doesn't show Britney but Debbie Harry!!!
