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

"Oh GOD! You're so BEEEG and STRONG!"

(I kid you not, actual lyrics from said album.)

Absolutely amazing...

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.

I can see approximately 9% of the covers on this page. :(

Chris Jones (Crackity Jones), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, the page is gettin' on in years, Chris.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 14 March 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I know. I just wanted a sob cos it looks like a great thread.

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 (sgh), Sunday, 14 March 2004 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

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