Try to guess your favorite band's album covers.

Tip: Try to avoid using the word "The" - example, enter "Smiths" instead of "The Smiths"

some of those covers were odd versions, like their group sounds had a black background instead of white.

The Beatles is the worst. There are more ___ sing the Beatles! albums than actual albums.

Kinda gay seeing that it's only record covers, but...

The Stone Roses - 90% correct [751 pop points]

The rest of the world only scored 68%.

This is a neat idea but a bit flawed since it seems to include albums that include words in the artist name and not strictly the artist's albums. Still, a great way to kill time.

Wildhearts : 100% correct - 1765 points. Rest Of World : 82%

Kinda screwed up, cuz I didn't realize there was a timer going on the first cover, but what the hey.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KISS : 80% correct - 1658 points. Rest Of World : 64%

This was was REALLY messed up, because it included other band's records that had the word "kiss" in the title.

Also, too many shitty interview and "MAXIMUM" discs are included.

100% on Elvis Costello (2083 points). They included a lot of singles in there, so it was pretty tough. Only got 80% on the first run through.

80% on Devo, but there were some mistakes in the test itself. Sucks.

I suck at this. Royally. I got pitiful scores all over the place. I don't pay attention to album covers very often.
