What’s shakin, Stevens? I’ve been taking rapping lessons from Andy Samberg lately. Bloopy bloop blurp blah blah dookie doo…

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 storesÁ¢€¦back when we had record stores. Sigh.

The rules are the same as Name That Tune. Each player can make three guesses between updates (Á¢€Å“UpdateÁ¢€ is defined as Á¢€Å“The time when I post a comment listing all of the covers that have been guessed correctlyÁ¢€), 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 to this week’s puzzle, but there is definitely a theme. And no, it has nothing to do with Steely Dan.

Like Scraps, I suggest subscribing to the comments on the post (click on Á¢€Å“Track CommentsÁ¢€) to more easily follow the progress of the game. Remember, maximum of three guesses between updates of the list. Have fun!
