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.


If it helps, I actually DID know the right answer ( it was the 1st album of theirs I ever bought ) , but I'm brain-tired & wrote what I wrote because of what the artwork is ( if that makes any sense, lol ) .

Sent my answers in -- I just wanted to say this was a fucking awesome quiz. I love the idea behind it, I love the implementation, and I even like some of the albums.

I accepted U2 – Boy as a correct answer from 4 or 5 people because I forgot that the UK cover looked like this:

I got three guesses of Pink Floyd - Ummagumma for Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left. Not a bad guess considering Ummagumma comes in a green slipcase nowadays that looks like this:

The hair around the ears and the bangs should be enough of a give-away to disqualify the European cover to "Boy"--just sayin'.

Woohooo, bonus points. The 12" gatefold Ummagumma cover is even closer than the slipcase.
