[LynneSin]

2. How could you forget the Album that Dick Cheney put out

[begin_within]

3. Eww, it IS him.

[LynneSin]

5. His hand just needs a knife - it looks like the "Psycho" pose

:scared:

[begin_within]

17. That gives me Photoshoppish ideas

[mockmonkey]

6. I would pick

the "Crying Demons" or is it "Demons Crying"? It appears that they are being possessed by the Spirit of Crazy Guggenheim.

I would have picked the first cover "The Braillettes" if only they would have had the bad taste to have named them "Three Blind Mice."

It seems to me that back then, that if you had some kind of handicap you could always record a record of religious or country music and become a local celebrity. Talent was not always required if you had enough sideshow appeal.

It wasn't until "The Shaggs" came out with their awesome album that Rock and Roll could now be conquered by those less fortunate. I'm just not sure what handicap "The Shaggs" suffered from.

18. According to some, they suffered from a complete and utter lack of talent.

7. Don't forget this classic:

and the back cover:

19. She looks like she gave birth to him.

[Momgonepostal]

31. they do look a bit alike...

What's up with all the female ventriloquist singers? You posted one, I posted one, and I see there's another. Who would have thought ANYONE would come up with an idea like that?

[graywarrior]

8. Those albums live in a different world than I do...or,

maybe the same world...I can't decide.

Regardless, the fact that you have them in your world makes me.....giddy.

9. For the hair alone...

This one is creepy:




This one is just plain terrifying...:scared:

[begin_within]

20. That reminds me of...

In the first one, I bet the woman on the left fell over backwards just after the picture was taken.
In the second one, it's another case where the woman looks like she gave birth to the dummy.
The Ethel Merman album reminds me of:

10. How about.....

[begin_within]

23. Those guys in Orleans are enjoying it just a bit too much. By the way, is

Ricky Martin one of those shown in Menudo?

[Liberal Dose]

30. I thought Ricky might be the one kneeling on the right

But I dunno for sure. :shrug:

11. #1 with a bullet at Straight Camp

[begin_within]

25. Cool

[dolo amber]

12. Big Black - Headache

It's so bad I refuse to post it here. Do a Google image search if you dare but be warned...I'm NOT being funny here. It's very, VERY graphic. :scared:

[KFC]

16. Damn

That's about all I can say.

[begin_within]

22. Ick!

[Liberal Dose]

13. Definitely the Worst

[KFC]

14. Winner

I am now fucked up for the rest of the day.

[Liberal Dose]

32. Ahhhh, now I feel complete.

:smoke:

[begin_within]

26. Love it!

[Liberal Dose]

34. I'd say it's a winner

Hands down. :spray:

[begin_within]

39. Do you have this? And have you listened to it?

[graywarrior]

15. I knew a Polish guy from my neighborhood who's pick up line was

Poosh poosh?

[skypilot]

21. Millie Jackson has got to be...

...one of the most God-awful tackiest people on earth. My mom used to listen to her back in the seventies. Vile. And this album cover looks like it was done in the eighties. It looks like even then she hadn't developed anything remotely resembling class. I could never stand to look at her and this is the LAST manner in which I'd ever want to see her.

[begin_within]

27. Well at least it's truth in advertising.

[maxsolomon]

35. but you can't argue with the voice

millie was integral to the black soul experience of the 70s.

she's due for a comeback.

if only i had scans of my johnny guitar watson albums...

wait, i do!

[skypilot]

37. due for a comeback

God forbid.

[Initech]

24. These guys look a hell of a lot like the band from A Mighty Wind:

Coincidence?

[begin_within]

29. The Next Generation. Probably only one person there can sing at all.

[billyskank]

28. I don't see any problem with this one

:shrug:

[Liberal Dose]

33. That could be a whole 'nother thread

:blush:

[begin_within]

36. I guess it all depends on how you define "piece"

[Liberal Dose]

38. I don't think it's a secret how you define it.

Piano pieces indeed. :P
