Music Quiz: Album Covers III

Welcome back to another week of quizzing. Tony just pipped James Kalyn for bragging rights in last week’s 2000s adjectives quiz.

This week your challenge is to name the album when given its cover. It features a fun mix of artists. John Denver and Hootie and the Blowfish aren’t often sighted in Sporcle’s music quizzes.

I scored 18/20. Can you beat my score? I clearly need to bone up on Tool and LL Cool J.

  1. I only got 14/20. There was so many I just couldn’t think of the name. Or else I got it just a little bit wrong, like Dave Matthews I thought it was Crush instead of Crash. And for Red Hot Chili Peppers I kept putting Blood Sugar Magic but I left out the Sex, oddly enough. And for John Coltrane I just kept putting names of Miles Davis albums because I never did know who did which.

  2. 16/20, although in fairness I got a couple right by guessing (The Gambler is the only Kenny Rodgers record I know the name of). And I clearly need to bone up on Billy Joel.

    • When I was a young teenager, my parents were pretty conservative with what they’d let me listen to – Genesis were too dangerous. So I was into super mainstream stuff like Billy Joel (and Neil Diamond).

      • I don’t think I could identify another Santana album cover as easily – that one was just everywhere in ’99 at the time I was hitting record stores almost daily thanks to that bloody ‘Smooth’ song and has become lodged in the memory banks
