Cover Me, Game Forty

David Medsker August 24, 2009 60

Cover Me has now used over 1,000 album covers! And truth be told, I’m running out. Cover Me will continue, but don’t be surprised if it takes a few…breaks.

Below are magnified fragments of 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,” “Guess” is defined as “any attempt to identify a single cover”), 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.

There is no acrostic this week, but there is definitely a theme. We are also breaking one of the main rules above. Good luck!

Lastly, the Puzzle Cover

There is a picture there, I assure you.

I suggest subscribing to the comments on the post (click on “Track Comments”) to more easily follow the progress of the game. Remember, maximum of three guesses between updates of the list. Have fun!

    I might scrap it entirely, since the damn puzzle cover's already been solved.

    Icehouse and the Jam are correct. One left, and it's a doozy. One of the best best-ofs I own. Sadly, the band called it a day shortly after its release, but the lead singer is still chugging out the new stuff in various incarnations…

    Sorry about that. Bu tit would be a shame that you did. Can we agree, those of us who already know some of the answers, not to submit them so that others can play?

    It's all right, you guys didn't know it was an accident. I would have played too if I had seen it up on the site. We're still not sure how it went live like that.

    I'm not scrapping it, but I may change the puzzle cover, since you already figured it out. :)

    The last cover, by the way, is:

    Guided by Voices, Human Amusements at Hourly Rates
