I shot these for a local band that just signed a record deal and we need to choose one for cd packaging. Which one do you think works?

image-size3 would be good for liner notes

dunno about the others. it seems like someone in each pic has a funny expression that blows it.

I agree.

The one Mr. Spikey Hair screwed up the least was DSC00815.

I definitely wouldn't use any of them that have a any type of brick in the background. The band in front of the brick is so cheesy and cliche. The pics looks good except the guy with the faux mohawk ruins all of the pics. He doesn't look like he belongs in the band. He looks like he is 39 and is trying to be 18.

I agree with most of the opinions. The brick shots though were done because they wanted a more "commercially" posed shot, there's really only one like that.
