The Album Art Trivia Game
|
Ok people, going to try something new that hasn't been tried in a while here and we'll see how it pans out...
//THE GIST: -----------------
The basic concept behind this thread should be fairly easy to follow. Basically people will take it in turns to post up 10 album covers for which the rest of us will then try to guess the correct artist name and album title. Once the 10 have been correctly guessed or a certain period of time has passed with the remaining covers unanswered, a new lot of 10 will be posted.
To keep things interesting I'll keep an updated scoreboard of the most successful album art connoisseurs. You will only receive points for a successful pairing of album title and artist name. With any luck this game will reward the forum's most eclectic listeners with the most ordered itunes libraries. :b
This format is subject to change depending on how things work out. If the game proves to be too easy then pixelated images could be used to raise the difficulty.
//GUIDELINES FOR ALBUM ART: --------------------------------------------
- Try to post album art from a wide range of genres to enable the whole forum a chance to get involved.
- Feel free to include album art from a variety of decades although be realistic in terms of when an obscure 50s album is simply too obscure.
- Limit the album art to LPs and major EPs only, no obscure singles releases please.
- If the album art contains the artist name and album title then these need to be distorted/covered up.
- 400*400 pixels is the maximum size images that you should be posting up. Anything between 250*250-350*350 is ideal.
- Feel free to use [pre] tags to arrange the 10 images but try not to stretch the page.
- To resize the album art and cover up artist names/album titles you can use an online image editing site like DrPic or whatever image-editing you have lying around. No need for pixel-perfect editing.

Nice idea. We've been waiting for something like this for book covers in B&L.
Am I right in saying that it is just whoever posts up 10 covers first gets the round?

Well I thought I'd start things off but basically as long as all the 10 have been solved or say 3-5 days have gone by without the remaining ones answered, anyone is welcome to start a new round.

There was something like this before except all the album covers were pixellized as well.

What's the time frame on each round? I'm keen to do it but not right now. Procrastination takes time.

I figured there must have been something like this done in the past. As I said I'm willing to change things around if it turns out that it's too easy without pixelization. That said, given how wide ranging and obscure people's taste in music can be I figured it might be an unnecessary layer of difficulty, resulting the thread losing activity and getting lost in the depths of the forum.
We'll see this pans out...

So when it's a number of different members who have contributed answers, who posts next?
