I was pretty lousy at this, but I figured some of y'all could do better.

38 in all.

I was surprised at some of the ones that made it in there. I have only come across a few people who know of Radio Tarifa.

If you're into tests, you may want to try this one on video game sound effects.  

I got 14 out of 18.

For 32 I could name the artist, but for about 8 of them I didn't know the album.

And I'm pretty sure at least one of those was a UK-only cover.

24 I could name the artist, and all but about 4 of those the album too.

I certainly recognised that one, but couldn't even place artist on that one.

Answer.

I only knew it because that's the cover they use on the online radio statio (last.fm) I listen to.

Answer.


Yea. Totally wouldn't have got that, having never really listened to them. Have seen it before though I think.

I got about 4 more just browsing through looking for the answer to that one. I guess I'm better at it than I expected...

I also got 14 out of 18.  I missed a couple that I had never even HEARD of but was surprised that I missed the Zelda one, since I played that ALL THE DAMN TIME.

I recognised 21.. forgot how many I could name both the album and artist to... maybe most of them since I tried not to cheat, but y'know... heh.

One of those albums I actually sold on half.com... ahah.  the one pictured at the front for the eighth and last album challenge.
[edit again:  I just realised the covers change at the front of the challenges.. hah.  I meant the Stereolab one for the record)

---

My Quicktime didn't much like that second game though :\
I'm pretty sure I'd suck at it though since I didn't play enough games... mostly just racing ones.

[edit:  just got a friend to take it and out of all 9, he got 120... I'm making him give me more of the answers later.. geez]
