Necro didn’t answer any as he doesn’t do B&W?

Electric Nitwit

Again, all albums correctly identified here, and no particularly high scorers.
Pretzill with a nice ace, while miamee stumbles and Necro starts calling his friends for help

Close!

K.Flyer

To be honest, even for my first game, I thought ac/dc would be way too obvious The reverse psychology that was played is fun to watch unfold

Banjo

That National one has been driving me mad, I saw it in a shop a few days before and didn't look to see who it was by!

Pretzill

I can't believe the Prodigy aced. Whoop!

A lot of casualties this round
Well done Homer J, acing with Chvrches.

Listened to that album a lot the year it came out (2012 or 2013, I think?) Their second album was quite good too, the last one didn't do much for me though.

I thought there would be more would know the prodigy one.

I had a similar progression from "they're amazing" to "they're grand"

Next up, round 10 will take us out on the road

But the more you think others know, the more others think others knowno so no one picks it, so you pick it because no one will pick it which is the same reason everyone else picks it which is why Muse should not have peehsed and you're all bastards

Or if you’re like me in album covers you just go for the one everyone knows because it’s the only one you know and you just hope everyone else who knows it will think that everyone else knows it and will avoid it when there’s some who actually know only it.

Electric Nitwit

10 down, 5 to go
Next up we have the (loosely defined) cartoon round

Banjo

How the **** did Ziggy come 2nd??
Fair play on Kraftwerk, that was properly difficult. Unless you knew it. Which I suppose is the same for all of them except Radiohead cause all their album covers look like that so WHY DID YOU PICK THEM???
