Classic Rock Art Trivia CHALLENGE...and no Googling allowed
Rainbow's "Difficult To Cure" album cover, from LEGENDARY design house Hipgnosis (Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and many more).

It was originally offered to another classic rock band prior to appearing on the Rainbow album.

NAME the band and their album it was originally supposed to appear on.

4. I didn't care for Rainbow after Dio
I have no clue, but would guess UFO. I would have to google to guess the album.

8. No, but I agree on Rainbow
One of those bands that was completely different after Dio, and yet Blackmore insisted on calling it Rainbow.

11. The fact that you knew enough to say UFO has earned you unlimited credits...
in my DU people I admire list.

The loudest concert I ever witnessed was UFO at the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver in the late '70s.
ROCK BOTTOM!

10. OK, nobody guessed it, so here you go:
Hipgnosis originally submitted it for consideration as the cover to Black Sabbath's "Never Say Die" album. As much as I love Hipgnosis' work, I think Sabbath made the right decision.
