    Question Suggestion needed on how to display discography.....

    I tried to get help on an older thread but it was so messy that I scared everyone away and did not get any reply....

    I am looking for a nice way to display a discography; it needs to show:
    Label / Reference
    Matrix - Stencils
    Tracklisting
    More Information
    year
    country(flag)
    and preferably 3 pictures front / back / lp or cd.

    here what it looks at the moment.. messy.... damn tables!!!

    I'm not a web designer, but this might look nice:
    Two columns, the left one has images of the Ozzy albums and the right one has info on them. (one row for every album listed)

    Dunno if he has code, but the real basic version is this:

    Code:
    <table border=1>
    <tr><td>Album Picture</td><td>Info</td></tr> <!--Repeat for each album -->
    </table>
    Extremely basic but open to expansion.

    I'd also go with something like that. Even more, create table headers for Front Cover, Back Cover, Disk, Label / Reference, Matrix - Stencils, Tracklisting, year, country(flag), More Information.
    Afterward, simply fill out one row per album. You can even save the values in a database and retrieve them dynamically or edit them from a web interface, but that is another subject.

    <table style="width: 75%; height: 300px" align="center">
    <tr>
    <td class="style1" style="width: 300px" rowspan="5">
    <img alt="300x300-1981-over_the_mountain-a" src="12''300x300-1981-over_the_mountain-a.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></td>
    <td style="width: 201px" class="style1"><strong>
    Over The Mountain</strong></td>
    <td style="width: 210px" class="style1"><strong>
    1981</strong></td>
    <td class="style1">FLAG</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td style="width: 201px"><strong>Label /
    Reference</strong></td>
    <td style="width: 210px" class="style1"><strong>
    JET RECORDS</strong></td>
    <td class="style1"><strong>JET 12017</strong></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td style="width: 201px"><strong>Tracklisting</strong></td>
    <td rowspan="2"><strong><span class="style8">&nbsp;&nbsp;
    Side one</span><br />

    &nbsp; 01 - I Don&#39;t Know</strong></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
