15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. The center of the picture for this album is a bunch of roses. The red flowers at first lure you in with an image of innocence and happiness...until you look at the bottom row, and notice that one flower is white, with tiny drops of red in the corner. It finally hits you: once, they were all white--and the "red stuff" that changed them is what you think it is. The music shares the cover art's themes of betrayal, loss and horror. What album was it?
    Morrissey, "Kill Uncle"
    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "The Boatman's Call"
    The Fall, "The Infotainment Scan"
    Concrete Blonde, "Bloodletting"


2. The cover for this album featured a map. It was done in the style of the dramatic illustrations of the great explorers. This was one of the last recordings the group made with its lead vocalist, who left to pursue solo interests. What cover is this?
    The Pogues, "Hell's Ditch"
    10,000 Maniacs, "Blind Man's Zoo"
    Black Sabbath, "Reunion"
    Motorhead, "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith"


3. The picture here is from the second album by a particular group. The cover is a close-up of someone's hands as they play guitar. The entire image is filtered in an eerie red and pink glow. What album is this?
    My Bloody Valentine, "Loveless"
    The Cure, "Wish"
    The Breeders, "Pod"
    The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "More Noise and Other Disturbances"


4. On this cover, there is a puppet-like figure. It is made out of knitting. It has a head shaped like a matchstick, with two little ears. The eyes are dots. The figure appears to be smiling. What album is this?
    Negativland, "Points"
    A-Ha, "Scoundrel Days"
    Richard and Linda Thompson, "Shoot Out the Lights"
    Sonic Youth, "Dirty"


5. The picture on the cover of this album is in the style of a Norman Rockwell-era advertisement. The brightly colored illustration shows a woman holding up a fresh dessert. The group shares its name with the centerpiece of a Monty Python skit; the object was supposed to be Scotland's secret weapon in winning Wimbledon. What album is it?
    Blancmange, "Second Helping: Best Of"
    Pet Shop Boys, "Very"
    Echo and the Bunnymen, "Porcupine"
    Throbbing Gristle, "Mission of Dead Souls"

    Kraftwerk, "The Mix"

    Wire, "The A-List: 1985-1990"
    Lloyd Cole, "Love Story"
    R.E.M, "Monster"
    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Henry's Dream"
