#355 The Best Album of 1989, Round 3 Match #98: Galaxie 500 vs. Faith No More

Hey folks!

First pic: A photograph of the band, taken from a low angle on the ground looking up at them. They're dressed in T-shirts. There's a guy with a round face and longish light-colored hair, a woman in a dark shirt with short dark hair and large spiral earrings, and another guy with short moussed hair in a white t shirt. The whole thing is orange-tinted. A great deal of the picture is the sky above the three, and the sky is orange. Second pic: A circular pie-tin shape, like the ring created when a drop water hits a surface, with crown-like protrusions around the edge of it. Inside the shape is a column of fire. Behind the image is a picture that suggests the cracked dry surface of a desert or even volcanic landscape, but also the branches of trees. What it actually is eludes me.
