The general methodology for these quizzes is as follows:

I collected the names of the 500 greatest albums of all time, according to two different sources: Rolling Stone, and BestEverAlbums.com. Obviously these are not necessarily the biggest selling albums, but I used these sources so I could have some sense that they would be albums familiar to other people; while also not only including the easiest and most obvious covers. And, yes, Rolling Stone will have a bias toward albums familiar to listeners in a certain country; BEA, less so.

Once I had the master list, I sorted these albums by Artist and Rank. For each artist, I chose only one album. In almost all cases, I simply went with the highest ranked album. Occasionally, I would override the rank for other reasons, such as that the cover was too hard to edit, I liked the art work on the lower-ranked album, or I had a personal affinity for / memory of an album with a lower rank.

To be clear, that is not one album per quiz; it's one album for the whole series. That means you can't expect these quizzes, in their current form, to always have the Beatles or U2 on them. I don't promise I will never add multiple albums for an artist; nor top-selling, but critcally-dubious albums, but given the time this project has taken me, I am hoping I never do that. Also, not every artist on the lists is included. I don't perfectly remember why I excluded some, but it was never my intention to be comprehensive.

Thank you. Much more work than I wanted, but pleased with many of the results (which are still to come in future quizzes).

And, now that I type that out loud: if anyone has actual graphic art skills, and a bunch of time, I would welcome a collaboration. I'm just a computer programmer, fumbling around for techniques that will help me me convert album/artist names, without losing the fonts/art work of those names. Many times it's that art work that would tell the quiz taker what album it is. I am thinking there might be someone out there who can tackle this process (or show me how to do it) much more quickly, in most cases.

Any chance you could allow (at least) one of the following?

"4"

"Led Zeppelin 4"

"Zoso"

I entered all of the above, before eventually giving up in frustration (thinking that there was a mistake in the quiz)...

Thanks! 😊
