Wow, I am bad at this game. I am also having some trouble getting it to recognize some correct answers. I've identified a Floyd album and a Springsteen album, but I can't get it to recognize the answer. I also had to use "The Who" when it said not to include "the" in the band name. Odd.

[BrianD]

dola,

Nevermind, seemed to be a Firefox problem. Works fine in IE.

[BrianD]

Is there an answer key for this somewhere? I'm going to make myself crazy trying to identify covers that I recognize but can't name.

[Qwikshot]

I got 19, I have a few band names but no album titles...

[gottimd]

AnalbumCover quiz?

[BrianD]

I got 19, I have a few band names but no album titles...

I'm up to 24, but I've been cheating like crazy. I knew about 5 of them without looking anything up.

[Anthony]

i scored 14 without cheating. i'm pissing cuz i coulda got 15 but i forgot the name of that aerosmith album

[EagleFan]

The Deep Purple one is wrong I believe, I thought the band's name was also in the title.

Of the ones you didn't get, I got 4,8,19,20,24,26,30,33,34,35,36,37,41,44.

I did not figure out 11,27,32,47,54.

I would love a PM for those I couldn't get, and I would be happy to PM the ones you didn't get if you want one.

[Qwikshot]

There is a wide swath of bands here, some old, some new. I don't consider Genesis a rock band placed in the same ranks as say Metallica or Black Sabbath.

They aren't all the same type of music, but they all seem to be pretty important or well-known bands. I got some of the answers by searching covers for famous bands that I thought should be on the quiz. Still a few that I should know but can't identify are killing me. There are a couple of pictures from CDs I know I have, but can't find..

I got 10 before I had to look for help. I'm amazed that I recognized a couple of these. It's bizarre what kind of useless information your brain stores.
