Cover Me, Game Thirteen

David Medsker October 27, 2008 59

All right, you super-smart, wily bastards. This quiz is being assembled shortly after you disemboweled Games Four and Five. Time to step up the attack somewhat.

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. Are you ready, Mr. Burns? Are you set, Mr. Burns? Go, Mr. Burns.

    7. Tom Jones – The Lead And How To Swing It

  • Thierry

    That seems correct, but this was actually their second album – not their debut.

    Is it? My bad. It was their US debut, at any rate.

    All guesses are correct. Revamped puzzle cover coming shortly.

    Also, the puzzle in 10,000 Maniacs – Blind Man's Zoo.
