    I guess I need to try harder.

    Have I told you about otters being the only marine animal that can lift rocks?

      I'll play.

      I think that the first 8 covers (or whatever) should have to be in your frames/on your wall, with a pic posted here.
      It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            It will of course skew heavily towards rock genre so it could be cool to require other genres, but not if it's going to ruin the fun.
            I will be in.

            I will play by whatever rules you all decide.

                I haven't even picked the frames up yet nor have the covers themselves.

                  I vote for a handful of fun categories...

                  Iconic
                  Great Album/Terrible Cover
                  Synergistic (Perfect Visual Representation of the Music Inside)
                  Cringeworthy (Cover That Has Aged Very Badly)
                  LOL
                  WTF?!

                  ... plus an equal number of utility slots to fill with whatever we like.

                  It will of course skew heavily towards rock genre so it could be cool to require other genres, but not if it's going to ruin the fun.
                  There is a treasure trove of "WTF?!" covers in the Old Time Gospel genre...

                    Proposed categories:

                    Best
                    Worst
                    NSFW
                    Album you've never heard but found only because of this draft.
                    Great album with meh/overrated cover.
                    Bad album, great cover.

                    ETA: removed genres because I think we have enough categories between this and sheep's suggestions. Other ideas?

                        so - how about 8-10 categories and 4 bench slots
                        and I like the synergistic idea

                          Sounds good to me.

                          Other categories we could do:

                          Best Artist Cover - Cover featuring a defining shot of the actual band or artist.
                          Rowwrrr! - The hair metal guys will probably demand hot chicks.

                            Sounds good. I like all the category ideas suggested.
                            If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper

                                I've never been a fan of hyper-sexualizing women in demeaning fashion to sell music to dopey, horny teenage boys. Not even when I was a dopey, horny teenage boy.
