Title: Name the Album Game
Post by: Wayner on 13 Oct 2009, 07:52 pm: I just had this idea and thought it would be fun. I pick a popular album, delete almost all of it's artwork and you try to figure out who it is and what the album's name is. If in 10 tries no one get's it I give the answer and someone else can throw one in. To be a little fair, I think we should indicate the genre and year of the album.

Here is the first one:

Genre: Rock
Year: 1977

Good luck!

It looks like the cover for the hard to find "Smell the Glove" by Spinal Tap although that was supposed to have come out in '82.

No, that's actually not it. This one's released in 1981, and the band only has a "mostly English beat".
