I always thought the Singles cover was taken at UW somewhere

Closer examination of The Hot Rock's cover reveals an Oregon license plate on the taxicab. PDX it is.

Singles could also be UW--it looks a lot like that strip between the rows of cherry trees, and behind them is some sort of kiosk that looks like the campus bulletin board they have there...

Singles soundtrack looks like Pioneer, or that part of Occidental that's pedestrian only.

I added Mix-A-Lot. I had a hard time finding other Seattle covers just by browsing bands. Most Seattle bands that come to mind were grunge bands, who were bigger on abstract surreal pictures than places in real life -- best I could do was Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

Added Dave Matthews' Some Devil. Picture taken on the Fremont Bridge.

I just added the Westin Hotel on 5th Avenue which was on the cover of Modest Mouse's "The Lonesome Crowded West."
