Only a true music aficionado can identify these rock posters in WKRP in Cincinnati

Think you know music from ABBA to ZZ Top?

WKRP in Cincinnati had killer taste in music. Yeah, the sitcom was well versed in rock & roll, but it also featured references to the coolest jazz, pop and soul acts of the era, too.

The fictional radio station had music posters hanging all over its walls — and they changed nearly every episode. A true rock aficionado should be able to name these acts. These were hit albums, after all. 

Look at the shots below and try to name the musicians being featured. And, while you're at it, get a sense of how cool this show truly was.
  1. Who is that on the wall in the background?
  2. Which hot young band is this on its 1981 album cover?

Never really followed who did what -- only 10 out of 20, and only ELO and Suzi Quatro were NOT guesses. (EVERYONE knows what ELO stands for, and I had looked up "Leather Tuscadero" some years back wondering if she was a real singer.)
