The Big Picture - IT'S OVERRRRRRRR!
Well, I finally decided to make a quiz and I'm falling back on an idea I used when the old board was still in existence. I've taken ten relatively well-known 80's albums (well-known in the U.S. anyhow) and cut out a section of the cover. Can you identify the album AND artist for each cover from the bits and pieces I've supplied?

Let's keep the limit at TWO for now so everyone has a shot at it, mmmkay? Not two per day...just TWO. I don't imagine these will strain anyone's brains too badly. I'll post the answers in the empty numbered slots below as you get them. Good luck!

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5
#6 #7 #8 #9 #10


#1 - "Pornography" - The Cure - TV9
#2 - "Paul's Boutique" - Beastie Boys - MIDAS
#3 - "Private Eyes" - Daryl Hall & John Oates - TheDamnedOne
#4 - "Abacab" - Genesis - MIDAS
#5 - "Tunnel Of Love" - Bruce Springsteen - TV9
#6 - "Ghost In The Machine" - The Police - TV9
#7 - "Christopher Cross" - Christopher Cross - BOOKMISTRESS4EVER
#8 - "Can't Slow Down" - Lionel Richie - MIDAS
#9 - "Music From The Edge Of Heaven" - Wham! - BOOKMISTRESS4EVER
#10 - "Look Sharp!" - Roxette - TV9

I'd love to get some too. I gotta get a lawn first.

Beware of bird flu though (when you do decide to adopt a lawn flamingo) as it is tragically taking out alot of lawn ornaments...



Sorry for pulling this thread off-topic, I now return you to your album cover quiz (already in progress)
