The Quietus invites you to name the album cover based on the mime pose.
"The game is simple. Using his body and a black leotard alone, our mime expert M. Mattius Kaufman will recreate the cover of a classic album from the past few decades of popular recorded music."
This one was hard for me. Any takers?
I like to think I'm pretty good with album covers, and I found this to be pretty difficult. I ended up getting 12 right, and after finding the answers, I should've had about 3-4 more.
Well, that was fun, even if I didn't get too many right.
I know #2 was The Doors. Which other ones did you get right?
Right now I can't remember any but Thriller or Nevermind. I'll take it again.
THats funny, because those are the only two I got as well. I thought I knew some others, but the artists and not the names of the albums.
Okay, so these are all of the ones I managed to get:
The Best of the Doors - The Doors
Goo - Sonic Youth
Country Life - Roxy Music
This Year's Model - Elvis Costello
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Nevermind - Nirvana
Saturday Night Fever - Various

I was proud to get a bunch of those plus Bowie's Heroes and the Strokes' Is This It the first time I played.
Some of these were driving me crazy, and I had to know, so I found this list of the answers (scroll to the bottom, or read chronologically if you like to be kept in suspense): LINK. I guarantee your reactions will include "Ohhhh, duh!" and "WTF is THAT album?!"
Heroes! Damn it! I knew it was a Bowie album, and I could even picture the freaking cover, but I couldn't remember the title! Gaaahhh...
Also sad I missed Is This It.
