Copied from another site:
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit "random... Read More... Read More"
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
(alternatively, if the first article you hit is short, hit Random Article two more times.)
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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"
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together, and post here!
Here's mine:

Technically, the band name is "Greenhill School (disambiguation)" but I decided to not be quite so literal.

I think I was hosed on my name, but the title and pic rock.
Just noticed I copied the period over from the quote. Oh well...

Sixth Form Certificate - "Teach it to Others".
Nice.
Image had "blablabla's Photostream" text on it, so I decided it couldn't count, as it was maimed.

Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

Trying out LiveQuartz - I can't get it to give me more canvas to square it off.

Because of the picture, I'm going for the 70s/80s pop diva debut album look.
Ironically:
There is also a song with the same name by Queen.
EDIT:
Hmmm... I keep getting the exact same "random" quotes.
In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.

Your most recent Flickr upload suddenly makes sense.
*chugs down large dosis of anti-aneurysm medicine*
Typical. My first random Wikipedia article, meant to be the band’s name, was an album name. Doh! I’m cheating and taking a second stab at it.
Ah, much better. Second one was a person. 
And Flickr. Great. First, second, fourth, and fifth images were all great for covers—just abstract and metaphorical enough. Third one was … well … this. *sigh*

This handwriting font is a way bigger typographical crime than Papyrus IMO.

Much better, less ridiculous image second time around, though it would be a new-age hippie album like no other:

In case you haven't noticed, even digital album covers are square.

I have no idea what genre this would be (fonts chosen to enhance the schlockiness). If I saw this in a store I think I would pretty much have to buy it.

Yes, Erik, I had noticed. I was using satire about the fact that something as whimsical as the dimensions of peoples fake pictures in an online thread ticked you off. I thought this was for fun, not a contest.
