The Album Cover Challenge

I don’t know if this has been posted before, but even if not, I’m sure that between you, you can identify the artist and title of these albums in…oh, say 12 hours?

Album Cover Challenge

Oh, this is embarassing. I only know 3 right off the bat, and one of them is Christina Aguilera :(.

40 is CA

56 is Pearl Jam

52…looks like the White Album to me.

Is 54 a Tool album?

36: Beach Boys- Pet Sounds

49: 10,000 Maniacs- Blind Man’s Zoo

56: Pearl Jam- Vs.

58: The Roots- Things Fall Apart

Hoe many points do I get for 4?

:smack:

  1. Green Day - “Nimrod”

  2. Metallica - “The Black Album” (I think? I know it’s all black except the band name.)

Actually #52 could be many things… the first thing I thought it looked like was the cover of the new Interpol album (which is all white except for the band name and album name, and those were scrubbed out on this test).

31 is the Smiths - I can’t remember which one
32 is ELO I think
36 is Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
38 is This is my truth tell me yours - Manic Street Preachers
37 Nimrod - Green Day
45 Music has the right to Children - Boards of Canada
46 Going Blank Again - Ride
47 Take That - & Party (I think. How embarassing)
51 is Dizzee Rascal - Boy in the Corner (?)
57 The Streets - Original Pirate Material
59 Housemartins - London 0 Hull 4
4 - Jet - Get Born
5 - REM - automatic for the people

I’ll be back

Wait, I know number 32…is it Foreigner? Reo Speedwagon? Boston? Kansas? It’s one of those late 70s/early 80s “arena-rock” bands. I always have trouble telling them apart.
