Challenges you to listen to a song snippet and then match it to the album cover. The easy rounds are...well...easy, but I definitely felt challenged in the medium/hard rounds.

Ended up with a 246. I think 250 is max.

Post your scores!

247, but admittedly there were a few I only got because it was a girl singer and there was a girl on the album

What'd you miss?

I missed the Frank Ocean one from the first medium category and the RHCP one from the first hard category, I know. And then I missed several in the last hard category so I only got 3/5 points there.

One where it ended up being the XX (Know of the band, but don't listen much). One indie one somewhere. I can't remember what else.

I knew Sleater-Kinney, Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis, Grimes and a handful of obvious ones like Fleetwood Mac and Janis Joplin... but some I absolutely did get right by clicking on the cover with a girl bc of the female vocals.

... the chick on the cover hint was key (and hip-hop guesses for most part).

I got 248. I pulled a couple way out of my arse. Like I've never heard anything by The xx, but I've read about what they sound like. And I've heard enough in passing from Jenny Lewis and St. Vincent to recognize their voices.

I suck more. I think I had 218 or something. After a couple of rounds I was straight up guessing for the most part.

I got 240.

Guess at 99% of the indie/electronic stuff. Guessed at 75% of the rap/r&b. Essentially, I really struggled from level 4 on.

I guessed at The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Daft Punk, Frank Ocean, Common, Mos Def, Sleater-Kinney, Arctic Monkeys (because I had no clue what the album cover looked like), Spoon, Alabama Shakes, Arcade Fire, The xx, St. Vincent, Tame Impala, Grimes, Basement Jaxx, Kendrick Lamar, Bajah, Jurassic 5, Chuck D, Anderson Paak, Mac Demarco, Rilo Kiley, Mitski, Angel Olsen, Speedy Ortiz, Beach House, Jenny Lewis, Twin Peaks
