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.
I’d never seen this Trump/Talking Heads mashup before:

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.
Crush is Bon Jovi from a similar-ish era.
I always think RHCP is spelt Magik.
You’re right. It is spelled with a K. So I would have got it wrong anyway.
13/20 and I gave up. Don’t even know who the artists are with a lot of those!
Not a John Denver fan?
Haha no. I’m more into prog and Dulux.
I’m not sure if I can find any more quizzes about paint and prog…
A miserable 12/20 As you know, album covers just aren’t my thing.
12 isn’t too bad.
Just 12/20 for me. I knew most of the covers but couldn’t come up with all the names.
Good work. There were some pretty obscure/oddball choices (but in a good way).
14/20… this one gave me some trouble.
You did pretty well though.
That one was a challenge.
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).
18/20 failed by LL Cool J knowledge and not being able to identify, let alone name, a John Denver album
I’m with you on those as well Tony – but in addition to Ladies Love Cool James & John Denver, I also have to brush up on my late 90s Santana releases, 17!
I thought you’d know that Santana album – Smooth was pretty ubiquitous for a while.
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
Yeah, Supernatural was everywhere. Good plan getting a mega release in just before Napster hit.
I don’t know John Denver albums, but guessed a couple of song titles.
7/20 and knew who the artists were on many more but not album names
I think with this quiz they should have allowed album name or artist name.
There would have been a lot of 20s!
Uh huh 🙂
13/20. Not a winner but based on other comments, not the worst. I don’t know from what recesses of the mind I pulled some of these from. The ones I didn’t get I’d never get. A Love Supreme was a shot in the dark. Do you own a puteketeke?
I have never seen a puteketeke. They’re extinct on my island. I do own three chickens.
Good work. Surprised you haven’t heard A Love Supreme.
I *have* heard it. I just wasn’t 100% sure if that was the album cover.
