    Genuinely surprised he was never shot or lynched !

    Wiki said he used a pseudonym and never used photos of himself (without his hood on I guess).. reading about him makes me feel a little sick

    The world of Country N Irish has contributed more than its share of bad record covers.

    I think the album covers of the band imgbb are fairly good actually. No pictures, or adornments. Just colour and text. Like the white album.

    Right lads let's cover ourselves in lumps of meat and baby dolls heads. For the craic like... Needless to say it caused some "outrage" in the US of A and was quickly pulled from record shops and a new cover released. Though a few got out and are worth decent money today.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Are we allowed to post The Scorpions's Virgin Killer? Here's a censored version but probably still nsfw: http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/ultimateclassicrock.com/files/2012/06/scorpions_-_1976_virgin_killerEDITED.jpg?w=600&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89

    The worst cover I've ever seen on a great album, as bad as most of those cheap, obscure ones posted here.

    This one is weird but I like it.

    What's funniest is the spelling on the sleeve- it's all over the place. There's a song I presume to be called Down by the Liffey Side.

    However it's named three times on the record:

    Down by the Lissey side.
    Down by the Liffy side.
    And on the LP itself- Down by the Lifey side.

    Seems a lot are Gospel so far

    There were a lot of 'so macho it's incredibly homo-erotic' heavy metal albums back in the 80s

    There is a bar in Budapest dedicated to ManOwar. The owner is a huge fan and the walls are covered with pictures of them. There are a few with the owner and the band but what is really weird is his son looks just like him when he was younger so initially we thought he hadn't aged at all and it was some black magic stuff.
