Music Quiz: Album Covers by Description

29 Comments

1. That sucked after coming off a win…11/15. I ran out of time thinking of the freaking album names. Artist names were easy.

   • Still a good score, but winter averted.

2. 100% with 58 seconds to go. That said, I had to pause it and look up all but 2 of them. Sad, but educational!

   • Trying to work out how you’d research them – just checking spelling?

     • i just put “album cover” and whatever the description was and they popped right up in google images

3. 10/15. The ones I didn’t get I never would have.

   • Hopefully next week will be better.

4. 100% in 1:10min.

   • Thanks for joining in, and congratulations.

5. I got 12/15 within a minute, knew one of the artists but couldn’t recall any of the other three album titles, so that was my final score. Nicely done with your perfect score.

   • Thank you! I’m better at words than images (although I guess you need to know the images).

6. 11/15. Tough one that.

   • I enjoyed it, but I’m not very good at pictures.

7. 13/15… a couple I had no clue about.

   • It takes Flavor Flav to hold you back?

     • Yes…I know what he looks like but a description? Naahhh… It could have hit me over the head and I wouldn’t know…that one and the Youth…got me.

       • Those two acts are pretty canonical for someone my age, I think.

         • Yes you are a tad bit younger than I am. I know some by just blogging

8. 13/15 with two and a half minutes left. Should’a gotten one of those. Talk about a Head case.

   • Yes, that one was pretty cryptic.

9. 13/15 – I forgot the Public Enemy album name and I had no idea about the album from the recently departed guitarist.

   • The Public Enemy one was very annoying to type – it’s so long….

10. 12 and I’m feeling pretty good about that. I would never have guessed the three although the I saw the answers I knew them immediately, how annoying

    • Good work!

11. Another poor score – 8/15. I wouldn’t have done much better with the images either, except Talking Heads and Black Sabbath I would have got with pictorial help.
    For the record I got Abbey Road, Atom Heart Mother, Who’s Next, Nevermind, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground & Nico, London Calling and American Idiot. I just don’t know heavy metal or rap.

12. 13 – knew the group of the cow album, but not the name. And I guess I never paid attention to what was on the cover of the Ozzy & co. one.
    I appreciated the man with the clock around his neck clue!

    • It’s very confusing how they have an album named Animals, but the one with a cow on it is called something else.

13. That was fun and challenging! – I’m better with pictures I think. A measly 7 I’m embarrassed to say – several I knew artist but couldn’t pull the album title out.

    • It was a cool idea – hopefully they make a sequel.
