1 - Go to Wikipedia and hit random article. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use Photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
5 - Post it with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.

Flickr is being an ass about licensing, you know some other site that can generate a random enough list of photos?

I don't want to know why this came out so well.
But I would probably listen to this band.

I don't normally do these random words things, but then wikipedia brought up my band's name and well...

Someone on Reddit made a generator for these (http://myrandomband.com/).

Sometimes, these things work out so well one can't help but finish.

I confess, I had to reroll my random article because, no joke, I got the article for Münchener Freiheit, a German pop band, and I'm pretty sure that completely misses the point of making a random album cover.

Also if you're having licensing issues with flickr you can always just printscreen the picture and crop it.

I wonder how many bands will actually use this to start their careers?

I did that once a while ago and got a cool result. Lemme see If I can dig it up.
Yes, found it. Didn't have it put together into a image but I did that now. Here:

(I could give you my actual album covers, the early ones are in a similar vein. At least when it comes to the background images.)
