Can you recognise these badly drawn album covers?

I don’t normally share quizzes where I score 100%, because I like my readers to have the chance to beat me, but this one was too endearing not to share. What can you score?

I was doing fine till about the 9th one. I didn’t know it but it wouldn’t let me skip it, just kept counting down. Only option was ‘give up’ which dumped me out of the quiz. How do you say, pass, give me the next one?

There should be a bar directly under the image with arrows and numbers on it. You can use the right arrow to skip to the next question.

Ok. Got it. Fun game. 15/18. One that I missed I should have known, two, no clue.

Solid score though!

That was fun. 18/18 with 9:50 left on the clock. For some reason the REM album briefly stumped me or I would have been done sooner.

I didn’t think about using the time left as a tie breaker – I guess that’s a good idea on a quiz like this where an 18/18 is pretty feasible. 2 minutes 10 seconds is pretty fast.

Gah! I got 17/18 but only because it wouldn’t give me the KC one. I knew the album! I even tried the alternate title, and just the band name! But it was their debut! Darn you, Sporcle. 😉

Quite often quizzes like this accept artist name, but I guess this one doesn’t.

Rich got 18/18, I wonder what he entered to get that one?

I just tried it again and it worked for me. I entered the full seven word title, and it was fine.

Weird. Well, I still count it as full marks for me, no matter what Sporcle says! 🙂

Really enjoying these. Addictive site, though!
Anyhoo, I got 17. Rush stumped me. Gah.

I find them a bit of an acquired taste, particularly in the 1970s – I like their 1980’s stuff a bit better.

Fun quiz, I got 18 this week – fortunately the quiz wasn’t out of 40 this time!
The LZ one confused me for a bit (as did trying to remember the name of the Dire Straits album) but it worked out in the end.
I quite like this weekly tradition aphoristical!

Full marks! The LZ one is my favourite drawing.
