Cover Me, Game Fifteen

Greetings and salutations, my little Veronicas. Ready to take me to school once again?

Below are magnified fragments of 25 album covers. Most of them are well-known albums, but there are a few obscure covers (or lesser-known albums from well-known artists) mixed in to keep you honest. You must guess both the artist and album cover. In order to keep things simple, live albums, soundtracks and singles compilations will not be used, and with all apologies to our European and Japanese friends, we are going with the covers that appeared in the US record stores…back when we had record stores. Sigh.

The rules are the same as Name That Tune. Each player can make three guesses between updates (“Update” is defined as “The time when I post a comment listing all of the covers that have been guessed correctly”), so everyone will have a chance to contribute. And, just to spice things up, we have a puzzle cover this week, yay! One guess per player of the puzzle between updates, please.

    I'm very depressed by the fact that I recognized PaulYyoung's and Bruce Willis' lips.

    9. Limp Bizkit, "Significant Other"

    I was having a good day until I was reminded that Limp Bizkit recordings actually do exist.
  • Bada boom bada bing. Limp Bizkit it is, and once again, Popdose readers deliberately save the shittiest album for last. Thanks everyone, and I'll see you all next week!
  • All right, here is your five-word clue for the last album. Anyone who read Defamer during Mark Lisanti's reign will get this straight away:

    "Touch my balls and ass."

    Off you go...
  • Oh God, I know. I'm recusing myself from providing the winning guess, but I know. And curse you, Medsker, for putting that visual in my head again.
  • kmbone
    I have no guesses to add, but I'd like to share Jerry's enthusiasm for The Other Ones.
  • And to think I thought I overpaid when I plunked down 12 bucks for a copy - still in a LONG BOX - back in the early '90s. That thing goes for almost $80 now.
  • Mikey C
    Heh heh heh.
    I have it on vinyl.

    Wow, I had no idea it was so valuable. Not that I'd ever part with mine.

    Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
  • Pete
    8. Sade - Love Deluxe
  • David_E
    4. Yello – One Second
  • Man, Jerry's a ringer. Elliott Smith, Fall Out Boy and Guster are correct, as is Will's guess of Meryn Cadell. Only three left...
  • Jerry
    I've never known nearly this many before, at least not without the hints. :)
  • Jerry
    20. Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High

  • WHarrisBullzEye
    Okay, you've dragged it out of me: it's Meryn Cadell's "Angel Food for Thought."
