Name That Album Cover

Here's a fun way to avoid your work assignments. Head over to the Planet Rock Album Quiz and test your knowledge of cover art. The game would've been fun if the guy who created it didn't love prog so much, but still it's good procrastination (via Whitney). Here's a couple to getcha started.

#2 is Frank Zappa "Weasels Ripped My Flesh"

#4 is The Eagles "Hotel California"

I can't see the answers because the website is blocked by my work web filter, but #3 looks really familiar.

So easy. Rush - Fly by night; Zappa - Weasels Ripped My Flesh; Supertramp - Brekkie in America; Eagles - Hotel Shitfornia.

Next....

I hate these things. Its like that minipops quiz that came out a while back. I know the answers but it won't let me put them in if its not correctly formatted. like weasels ripped my flesh is by "frank zappa and the mothers of invention" but you have to say frank zappa to get it right.

31 off the top of my head
plus about 10 more that I got the artist but not the title.

I will admit to liking bad classic rock in high school.

Nothing new there, I've done one of these for the past three years with the XFM (UK) album cover quiz that gets done every Christmas.
