With CD's inevitably going the way of the dinosaur, 8-tracks, cassette tapes, Blender Magazine and Crystal Clear Pepsi; CD artwork isn't too far behind. Yes, album covers will always exist--even if they're just reduced to being a piece of clip art on your iPod screen--but what about artwork on the CD itself?

When compact discs become obsolete, we'll no longer have the opportunity to get creative with a four-and-half-inch, circular piece of plastic. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs will never have a chance to be pizza toppings again, as they appear on their latest release, It's Blitz (left).

Before it's too late, let's honor the CD-face, and see if you can guess which disc goes with which album:

A. In Utereo, Nirvana

B. Absolution, Muse

C. Get Behind Me Satan, The White Stripes

D. Stankonia, Outkast

E. The Bouncing Souls, The Bouncing Souls
