    Default Album Cover Versions

    Ok .... hoping not to breach copyright ..... Its interesting how cover art can imprint on your brain. I spent may happy hours of my youth at "Market Music" in Ballarat flipping through second hand cds. After a while you got an understanding of cover art, instantly recognising the album and artist by just the quickest glimpse of the cd ..... even if you didn't like the album. So as a direct rip off of Spicks and Specks here is album cover versions ......

    Do your best to guess the artist and the album. One point for each.

    Use your memory only ..... better to have a guess and get it wrong than search through Itunes or Google.
    (You will be the only one who knew you cheated!).

    If you are planning to add more .... use a photo edit program to remove any hints if they are easy .... keep the file size small.

    First five are a mixed bag some easy some not so ....

    I am the complete opposite, play the song and I can tell you the album - but show me the cover mmmmm

    The first and fourth I see a lot but can't place them.

    Good game this one
    There was a young boy called Wyatt
    Who was awfully quiet
    And then one day
    He faded away
    Because he overused White

    The Eels is the first, can't remember the album name.

    Stinky, if you were a bit older you'd remember going down the record store and flipping through the 12" vinyl. So much better than CD's. The great artwork of records stopped with the CD. So did sound quality. It's a pity that vinyl was so fragile and they wore out.

    Dear Skyhooks
    I am not a bandmole, but because you are so fantabulous and so groovy, I just thought that I'd drop youse guys a shoort note to let you know I think off you all day at school (yuk) and all night. I can't sleep because I keep seeing FRED Fred is so beautiful and Greg looks very SPUNKY with make-up on, but I hope you don't think I don't love you all. I am writting this letter mostly because I've been thinking and dreaming about all you guys for ages. You all make me feel so good I now that I had to give youse guys a toko toka memento so you could see how much I love you all and I wi a little part of me would allways be with SKYHOOKS I would love to be all your girlfriend (if you know what I mean) but I hope this is enough lots of love and hit records
    love Denise
    PS, look for me at the dance on Saturday. I will wave.

    In response to Sir Stinkalot,
    4. is a Madonna something or other album takeoff, cant remember the name of it.

    So much better than CD's. The great artwork of records stopped with the CD. So did sound quality. It's a pity that vinyl was so fragile and they wore out.
    Grunt, Re vinyl. You can still pick up a fair bit that is still decent, a lot of the capital cities have secondhand record shops (been to most of them, 'cept Canberra and Darwin)
    Some artists are also releasing a limited number of albums on vinyl as well.
    To actually sit down and take the time to listen to music, I prefer to get out my records, they sound so much better.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
    for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
