I think you removed a little too much of the cover - removing the album name/artist only should make theings a little easier. Ill give it a try anyway though.

They're mostly pretty well known covers, or at least should be well known to der indievolk. The background colors are a bit of a clue, too.

Keep your eyes on your own test and remember to show all work.

The scores so far:

Radcliffe – 10.5
Billzebub – 9.5
paper – 7.5
shmoo – 6
south pacific – 5.5
Elvis Fu – 5
splates – 5

The half points are for getting artist but not title. Billz got 3 half points. paper got a half point for knowing who parodied #13 but not getting the real answer.

The more I look at it, the more surprised I'll be if anyone gets #6. I shoulda left a little more of the cover showing.

Dammit, I had the right answer for #1 and changed it. And I knew #12 but had a brain freeze.

Answers sent. I only took a stab at about 7-8 of 'em - the others I had NO friggin' idea about. But I think I got most of the ones I answered right.

But if it's obvious to cemeterypolka, the artist becomes a given. Instant half-point!!! (that may be all I get...)

Update:

Radcliffe – 10.5
aerodynamics – 10
Billzebub – 9.5
DiggityDawg – 8
paper – 7.5
shmoo – 6
Sketch – 5.5
south pacific – 5.5
Elvis Fu – 5
splates – 5

Dawg, Sketch and South - I was originally going to dock you half a point for getting the album wrong on #10, but I had forgotten that the UK cover for the one you guessed is nearly identical to the one I posted. Too close to penalize youse.
