Having failed miserably on the 80's covers with 6/15 I thought I'd go looking for my era of music to see how I did. Still only managed 9/12 but the later ones seem really obscure to me and I'd never even heard of the album let alone seen the sleeves!

Can't find the answers though, to see which ones I got wrong!

There is also a 70's album sleeve covers quiz on the same link

Not as good, 8 out of 12, the early sixties ones did for me!

EDIT: Just did the 1970's one as well - 13 out of 15 definitely my era....

Scored 7 for 60s, 13 for 70s and 11 for 80s. Didn't attempt 90s, I'm far too old!

10/12 for the 60s. Definitely my decade
10/15 for the 70s

Don't think I'll humiliate myself by doing the 80s and 90s

9 for 60's........ 12 for 70s some I still haven't a clue who they were, others didn't need the multiple choice. Wouldn't even bother with any of the others, peaked in 70s down hill since........

I seem to get "all but 3" on every single decade, which I'm quite happy with.

Uber-pedant's alert: the cover of Devo's Are We Not Men? in the 70s quiz is the US version. The original UK album cover was completely different (a still from the Jocko Homo video).

8/12. A few were wild guesses but others were just by powers of deduction.

Got 10/10 on the 90's one though.

7, which I'm quite pleased about as a youngster, but then the 60s rule when it comes to music.
