Cover Me, Game Sixty-Four

Michael Parr September 1, 2010 87

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 simple, 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.

If you hadn’t noticed, I made a few corrections to the statements above. There is no acrostic this week, but there is definitely a theme. That’s right, it’s the super soundtrack edition of “Cover Me!”

Good luck!

Lastly, the Puzzle…

There are four actor/actresses that physically appear on more than one cover. Name all three to solve the puzzle.

  • Rich

    I guess I’ll take a crack at the puzzle; I could be wrong…

    Tom Hanks is on 8. Forrest Gump and 41. That Thing You Do
    Alex Winter is on 12. Bill & Ted and 9. Lost Boys (I think?)
    Burt Reynolds is on 26. Somkey & the Bandit and 50. Boogie Nights

  • http://www.popdose.com Michael Parr

    While Alex Winter was in both “Lost Boys” and “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” he does not appear on the cover of the Lost Boys soundtrack.

    And, um… there are actually four actor/actresses that appear on more than one cover. I’ll say otherwise, good guess.

  • Rich

    Gah! Of course he’s not on the cover of Lost Boys — I’m the one who guessed that cover, recognizing it by its stark red line over white text. I must’ve been thinking of the movie poster… yeah, that’s the ticket!
