View Full Version : The "Name that Album" Game

So I tried something like this before where I took pictures of my records and had people guess which ones they were. Thing was, it was a pain in the ass. I had to organize them in a way where you couldn't see the artists/album name if they were printed on the cover. I figured I would try again in a simpler fashion.
The game!
Poster #1 posts a pic of an album cover.
The first person to guess the album correctly posts a picture of another album.
And so on and so on.
For people posting the pictures, find a way to hide the artist/album name. For some albums this will be easy, others more difficult. Maybe once more people post we will get a better idea how best to do it without affecting the rest of the album cover.
USE THE ATTACHMENT FUNCTION! It seems to be the only way to embed an image on these forums.
I give this a 40% chance of being worth a ****, so let's give it a try!
One more thought, try not to go too random. I am sure we are all have some great albums that only 5 other people have ever heard of, but those won't be overly fun for the game. On the flip side, it doesn't have to be something like Dark Side of the Moon. Keep it somewhere in the middle. If no one gets it after 24hrs, it resets and is open to another album.

Bah, I can't remember that one, which is bad since I see that cover so often.

This is easy for one who knows the material. I don't have photoshop or any good enough programs to edit titles so I have to use album covers without them, haha.

This seems familiar but I can't place it.

Anyway, this one is pretty obvious: Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation.
