      As much as I love the movie, I never thought of the soundtrack (which I find to be, uhhh, underwhelming for the mid-1980s).
      my LOL pick. The music kind of sucks which helps make it funny.

        Agreed, those were both ones that came to mind when that category was brought up.

        • Wow, I actually had Straight Outta Compton in a frame, but my wife and daughters all hated it so I took it out. Could also fit the synergistic category.
          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.

          • I love the News of the World album and was quite surprised that Steve hadn't grabbed this one yet.

            The album cover is pretty creepy with the killer robot.

              You have to admit it would be news if a giant alien robot stalked Queen, lifted them 100 feet up, then flicked them to the ground.

                I already took two Queen covers (which is probably against the "rules"), but I agree this is a good one. News of the World is the first Queen album I heard.

                  Backroom negotiations removed the "Non-Queen" category at the last moment.

                  • Good to see some momentum over the weekend.

                    I was just about to award sheep the cringeworthy award for his weekend pick, but then I realized that isn't even the category he's putting it in.

                    I'd like to think I have a pick that can compete for cringeworthiness ... we'll see ...
                    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                    • Unsure of availability over Xmas. Just "post"ed out my past 3 picks.

                      GG all. Fun draft.

                      • Since this is in the can, here are a few I thought would be suitable. I am not sure which were taken but Grateful Dead's Aoxomoxoa would have been my first choice.

                          Aoxomoxoa is going up on my wall and I was going to take it later.

                                It appears so. I guess folks can post their remaining picks whenever.
