  • Good call on the Miracle album by Queen....really creepy on the faces. Hated the Hot Space cover as well....and the album sucked.

    • Virigin Killer is so cringeworthy the bar is speechless?
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        pretty much, yeah.
        It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

          Yes, I was seriously wondering whether it has to be taken down or not, even though I recognize it was included as an example of something that never should have been authorized in the first place. :shudder:

            Context matters.

            The visceral power of visual expression is remarkable. If I posted a written description of the killing of virgins in occult rituals, no one would even think about whether it should be taken down.

            "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
            "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

              Yea that's why I asked revo to weigh in before I posted it. What's also disturbing is that copies of it fetch big bucks ($70+).

                Blind Faith is the reigning king of Cringeworthy. No one will even pick it.

                  Sounds like a couple were considering it.

Random categories? All three? I like the ones proposed this far. Another could be "a cover you only found due to joining this draft".

                    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.
                    All anyone has to do to reach me is send a PM. I get notifications about those through email.

                    Not sure if I'd have been able to do this one because work has been extremely busy and I am color blind so visual art isn't really my thing.

                      Ok, good to know (re: PMs).

                      • Blind Faith is legendary. I suggested NSFW with it in mind.

                        • I went through my albums this weekend and found this Weird Al pick.....until then I completely forgot the LOL/Humor in his Album covers!

                          Fantastic redo on BAD to be FAT......the crew's opening line of "Yo Ding Dong, man! Ding Dong, Ding Dong Yo!" is hilarious!

                              • Fletch?!? Get outta town!

                                As much as I love the movie, I never thought of the soundtrack (which I find to be, uhhh, underwhelming for the mid-1980s).
