Color Me an Album Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Beatles

The Beatles released "The White Album" in 1968. The real title of the album is "The Beatles", but it is referred to as "The White Album" more often than not, simply due to it being completely white. "Rolling Stone" magazine ranked the album number 10 of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Answer: Metallica

Metallica released their album "Metallica" in 1991. It was their fifth album. It is often referred to as "The Black Album" for much the same reason the Beatles' "White Album" is called the "White Album". It is simply because the cover is black. Songs off this album include "Enter Sandman", "Nothing Else Matters", and "The Unforgiven".

Answer: Weezer

Weezer's third album was released in 2001, and was simply called "Weezer". However, because the album cover is a lime-green or neon green in color, with the band displayed on it, it is often called the "Green Album". Songs on the album include "Island in the Sun" and "Photograph". Weezer also has two other self-titled albums, one of which is referred to as "The Blue Album" and the other that is called "The Red Album".

Answer: Orbital

Orbital released their album called "The Blue Album" in 2004. It contained the hit "The Perfect Sunrise". It was their seventh album. Orbital's first album, self-titled, was released in 1991, and is often called "The Green Album", as it is green with a lighter green atomic symbol on the cover.

Their second album was called "Orbital 2", and was released in 1993. However, because it is a solid brown color with an atomic symbol on it, it is often referred to as "The Brown Album".

Answer: Danger Mouse

"The Grey Album" was released by Brian Joseph Burton in 2004. Burton is better known by his stage name "Danger Mouse". Just as the name suggests, the cover of the album is solid gray, except for the name "Danger Mouse" written in the bottom right corner in both black and white.

Answer: Stone Temple Pilots

The Stone Temple Pilots released "Purple" in 1994. Though the title suggests otherwise, there is actually no purple on the album cover. The album contained three singles; "Vasoline", "Big Empty", and "Interstate Love Song".

Answer: Stefy

Stefy released their debut album in 2006, which was entitled "The Orange Album". The cover design is of an orange stage with orange lights in the background, with the band standing proudly, the lights behind them making them look more like silhouettes than actual people.

Their song "Chelsea", sampled the song "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. The song is much different from the Summer Set's hit of the same name.

Answer: The Simpsons

"The Simpsons" is a long-running prime time adult cartoon that has also released a few albums. Their second album, called "The Yellow Album" (due to the color of the character's skin), was recorded shortly after their first album, "The Simpsons Sing the Blues", but wasn't released until four years later, in 1998.

Some of the characters, including Bart, Lisa, Homer, and even Apu, sing songs on the album. The cover of the album is not solid yellow, but has a bunch of the "Simpsons" characters on it, including minor characters and even a Homer Buddha. Perhaps a better choice would have been Spongebob Squarepants' "Yellow Album", which is actually solid yellow.

Answer: Barenaked Ladies

The Barenaked Ladies released their fifth album in 2000. It was called "Maroon", or "The Maroon Album". It contained three hit singles, including "Pinch Me", "Too Little Too Late" (not the same as the Jojo song of the same name), and "Falling For the First Time".

The Barenaked Ladies are known for their fast paced lyrics as well as their humor, which are both present in their hit songs "One Week" and "If I Had A Million Dollars" (also titled "If I Had $1000000" or simply "$1,000,000"). The album "Maroon" is not at all solid maroon.

It contains an eye, a man with very long and skinny legs, red carpet, and constellations.

Answer: Vengaboys

The Vengaboys released their second album "The Platinum Album" in 2000. It is far from solid platinum, however. It has the band members each dancing on a platinum-colored platform, and has a purple background. The album gave us hits such as "Shalala Lala" and "Forever as One". "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!" was released in their album "The Party Album".
