Wow! I didn't know it leave such a deep impact on you. Nice haul you've got there.
The first pic is Guzmania. I don't know the name as there are too many hybrids around with maroon purplish color. What I can tell is that plant have lingulata parentage.
Hard to tell what Till is in the 2nd pic. Silvery leaf and a bit fleshy?
3rd pic is stricta hard leaf form. YG got plenty.
Not really sure what's the last pic. Possibly a large form of Neo. meyendorffii or carolinae. Looks like there's no new growth. I think there's some damage to the growth point. Don't worry. You'll get pups instead.
