Cover Me, Game Thirty-Four

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”), 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. Also, Cover Me will be taking a holiday on Memorial Day, and will return June 1. Good luck!

  • YIKES! Please re-read the rules, max three guesses per update.
  • jack
    Oops! Sorry, I thought that meant 3 posts per round, not three answers in one post. My bad.
  • jack
    I do apologize. The rule makes sense now. I don't know why I assumed three guesses meant total number of posts, not number of album cover answers. Sorry to spoil the fun.
  • That's great that you knew so many of them, but please, save some for the other players. :)
