Each image refers to

a band that has a number in its name:

1. Alabama 3
2. 22 Jacks (per @WeslySitu)
3. Jackson 5
4. Matchbox 20.
5. 21 Pilots
6. 30 Seconds to Mars
7. Sum 41
8. UB40 (this is the coat of arms of the University of Barcelona) (per @WesleySitu)

The sum of numbers 1 to 8 is

182. This means that the answer is the band Blink 182, and an appropriate image for the solution might be:

    $\begingroup$ Coincidentally, there is a band called Alabama 3 as well. (It doesn't change your answer though). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I don't think it is the answer for #8, but (U)niversity of (B)arcelona = UB40? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I'm going to guess that the addition result is 182. Which leaves 58 unaccounted for so far. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 28, 2016 at 13:28

    $\begingroup$ If you swap 2 with "22 Jacks" and 8 with "UB40" (@LiamH, @APrough), we get the +58 we need for rot13 oyvax 182 :) $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 29, 2016 at 3:23

I have decided to add a separate answer because its a long shot. So I don't want to ruin the other answer.

Maybe its:

an image of the 212 area of NYC
1. Alabama, have an album called 16 biggest hits
2. This could be an image of Jack Black. Tenacious D have a song called 39
3. Michael Jackson - Jackson 5
4. Matchbox 20
5. Twenty One pilots
6. 30 seconds to mars
7. Sum 41
8. UB.40
The total sum here is 212, which is the debut single by Azelia Banks. It seems a Long shot with 1 and 2 I know!
