Hello.

Here are 15 descriptions of album covers.

The descriptions are mine, based on what I see when I look at the covers. For the purposes of the quiz, I may not reveal EVERYTHING I see on each cover. However, I will not twist/distort/play clever-clever games with the images that I do reveal.

Kindly tell me the artists and album titles. One point for each.


1. A man is sitting on a window-sill, with his left arm balanced on his left knee. There's a guitar leaning up as well. The view outside the window is a field. Over - Peter Hammill/SNARFYGUY


2. There's a park, with trees and bushes, at the bottom of the picture -- slightly curved, like an upturned bowl -- and a man's smiling face dominates the upper 90% of the photo. He's got long hair and sideburns, but he's noticeably balding. A Rainbow In Curved Air - Terry Riley/GREASE FOR ROADS

3. A black woman's head (which is on fire) is touching the bulging belly of another black woman who is pregnant. The belly has a zip in it. An Indian-looking woman is in the bottom left of the picture, with a shawl on her hair that looks like a waterfall. Live-Evil - Miles Davis/FRITTER

4. Five men sitting on a large pile of Swan Vesta matchboxes. Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo - Status Quo/ELVISCHOMSKY

5. There's a little guy, and a big strongman guy, and a juggler, and a guy with white make-up, and a guy suspended in mid-air. Strange Days - The Doors/FRITTER

6. A woman is emerging from what looks like a drained swimming-pool. She has frizzy hair. Hot Rats - Frank Zappa/GREASE FOR ROADS

7. A man is ducking his head to walk into a room that seems to be made from (or soundproofed with) black foam tubes. Station To Station - David Bowie/BUY KURIOUS!

8. There are four blokes drinking in a pub. One of them is talking to the landlady, who is laughing. There's an advertisement on the wall for Steve's Radio Cabs.

9. A man sleeps on a bench while a load of skyscrapers with scary reptile heads snarl down at him. The Royal Scam - Steely Dan/FRITTER

10. A vase with some flowers in it. Looks like some kind of arty conference room. Oh, and some curtains too. Chairs Missing - Wire/MR. MARSHALL

11. Loads of mediaeval people freaking out in a village. Fleet Foxes - s/t/FRITTER

12. Three blokes looking at the camera. One of them (on the far right) is pointing at us. The guy in the middle has a red shirt on.

13. A plane flies over a city where signposts read "Smoke", "Drink" and "Consume". After Bathing At Baxter's - Jefferson Airplane/FLICKERING LEXICON

14. A man with long hair is holding a guitar. His shoes are not on his feet. Bryter Layter - Nick Drake/HICCUP PERCY

15. One guy is crouching. Another is bowing his head. The other two are wearing an overcoat and a leather jacket respectively. Oh, and one of the other two is wearing gloves. Black And White - Stranglers/FRITTER

No. I just checked my copy. :ohdear:

CORRECT.

(p.s. 3: it's not Miles Davis is it, damn, I can see it)

CORRECT.

15: The Stranglers- Black and White

WRONG.

9. The Royal Scam - Steely Dan (looks like that one's done, oops)


13. Our favorite album: After Bathing At Baxter's - Jefferson Airplane

One of those is CORRECT. The other is WRONG.

Which one would you like to submit, bearing in mind you lose 25 points for a WRONG answer?

CORRECT.

Perhaps this quiz is slightly easier than I thought.

3: it's Live Evil by Miles Davis!

Because I got one? :angry:

CORRECT.

I'm getting bored now.

9 is right - 3 is Live Evil not Agartha

I think it's a great quiz idea!

CORRECT.

<_<

Thank you, I need a boost to the self-confidence, however false.

And the ones I can't get are very very difficult :rolleyes:

CORRECT.

It's "favourite", actually.

3. Bitches Brew (Miles Davis)

Right, sorry. Your favourite, my favorite. :D

CORRECT.

2: David Crosby - If Only I Could Remember My Name

(that's all I got)

Hmmm... interesting.

You lose two points.

Damn, and I really wanted to win the caravan.

It's not a caravan this week. It's skiing lessons.

4 is the Quo, Pictures of Matchstick Men.

My bunions won't be happy about that.

CORRECT.

Welcome (belatedly) to what is apparently the easiest quiz in history.

Next time I'll just let the bastards Google as usual.

6 is Hot Rats

Number one is a Peter Hammill album, but I don't know the title.

CORRECT.

CORRECT.

The title, as you've just remembered, is 'Over'.

Number 6 must be the first Black Sabbath album.

On edit: *d'oh!*

8 - Muswell Hillbillies?

Think of it as a tribute to your powers of description. If ever I get mugged again, I hope you are a witness.
