I still say it's that fucking NOFX album, which I saw today, inexplicably on prominent display in the Tower on 66th--I mean, why? Why are they displaying like 30 copies of a NOFX album from almost 10 years ago? Am I missing something? Is there a NOFX revival going on? If there is, I'm glad I'm missing it.

Funnily enough I literally just sold an Unrest CD not but one hour ago at Academy records. Not that disc, though.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This thread had me giggling!

There are some artists so charismatic they can actually make you question every tenet in your personal code of 'design sound practise'. And others who fight that battle bravely, and lose.

― Momus (Momus), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 19:51 (twenty-three years ago)

and what's Daydream Nation doing there??? that's one of my favorite Richter paintings! And it works incredibly well as a cover for that album. One of the songs is even called 'Candle' duh.

I think the Farewell to Kings cover is kinda nice, actually....but yes Hemispheres the flatly indefensible.

Good bloody lord, is that that actual cover? What's happened to Derek Riggs' signature paintings? That looks like a half-assed still from "Eyes Wide Shut"!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Here's your cover connection for you, Alex!

This cover makes me want to destroy the earth and every living creature on it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

whomever thinks that MBV couldn't afford a good photographer for their record covers must also think they screwed up and accidentally mixed the vocals too low.

― Chris Jones (Crackity Jones), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice way to raid that site with all the weird covers "-- LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams]".

But, (and thank god it's not here, 'cause it scares the shit out of me) the worst cover EVER is the one with fugly Phil Collins' face on it. You know the one I mean. Also that U2 one with the kid in the helmet (although it's a masterpiece compared to the music of U2) and The Fall's 'Cerebral Caustic' and 'Are You Are Missing Winner'.

Sasha, they were posted on sonicyouth.com in a thread there, but I thought those were particularly grebt.
