I sure feel dumb now. :-[
Or maybe I just made it too hard. Or maybe it's because one hit wonders are easy to forget about. People remember the songs, but rarely remember the bands that performed them.
You probably would've recognized a few more tunes had I posted longer audio clips.

| Deleted User | I just want to say thank you for a GREAT puzzle! I know exactly how much work it is to research the covers, find quality jpg's of them, and paint out the names. Well done!

Thanks. Actually, I have over 1,000 covers already on my hard drive (my mp3 and CD players display them), so "finding" them was pretty easy.
I like album cover art and I enjoyed the quizzes you posted, although I only discovered them soon enough to particpate in your final round.

| Deleted User | Until very recently, I have been using MusicMatch Jukebox to manage my mp3 collection. And it inevitably wants to assume (if I let it choose the default album) that all of my mp3's come from some damn "greatest hits" CD. Just locating the correct source album and getting the correct art tagged for the mp3 file is often a chore in itself.
Of course, I only listen to old music, so it's my own fault.

I use allmusic.com to track down the album titles. I get most of my covers from walmart.com. They've got a huge catalog, and they display their covers at 500 x 500 pixels.

Wow! Never would have thought of Walmart for album covers!
Thanks for the trivia game Grey!
