Name That Iconic Album Cover

Related: album covers, Entertainment, music, trivia

    Many people think they are music buffs, but how many actually are? We feel that a true test of vast musical knowledge is how well you know classic album covers. So, we picked 15 of the most iconic album covers of all time (we left out "Abbey Road" — too easy), stripped them of their original text, covered up some faces and left behind only the essential elements. Click ahead to see if you can name the band and album title for these iconic album covers.

    We'll start with an easy one...
