Yeah, I'll have to give you that.

But didn't he start a thread recently about eyes that do that?

If it makes it any more creepy for you the title is "Dearest Mother".

I don't, and my Translator widget says that it means "Loves nut/mother."

That, um...didn't help, I don't think.

It says:

These people obviously have corpses hidden under their floorboards and cemented behind the walls.

Heino has a mild form of multiple sclerosis that primarily affects the eyes.

My vote is in for a more contemporary choice.



I love the Beatles, but always thought this was dumb. Guess it goes with the era though.



I've always found this one disturbing, as well.

Yeah but that should really go under "disturbing movie posters" since that's what it originally was.

Same photo of Boxcar Willie, tiled eight times. Brilliant design decision.

Also note how they decided to crop the bottom pics off at the chin. I guess maintaining the space below the text was more important.

Any of Manowar's album covers.

I'm just not sure if this is the best album cover of all time or the worst. I think it might be both simultaneously.

EDIT: I actually posted this without looking at the original link. Too funny.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Worthy of the band.

I just saw them on their tour last month. It was really funny.

The first set was pure Spinal Tap, and the second was epic, with rain generators, lightning, and lots and lots of Viking extras dying on the life-size longboat they'd built on the stage behind the drum riser. Some 10,000 people in the audience.

Amazing.

Smaller version of the previous one I mentioned here:



Couldn't embed the larger one because the profanity filter censored the URL, and I dare not rehost something so horrible... scroll up for my link to the bigger version, if you dare

Here's another one.



It's not really serious. It's a comedy troup from Victoriaville, Quebec. They tried to create the ugliest cover possible. It was released in 2006.

The same covers come up every time we post a "worst album cover" thread. Post something original please.

This thread is killing me.

There's a cover, somewhere, of a 80's heavy metal band pretending to eat huge lumps of raw meat. That's my vote, only I can't find it...

Hey fella, not all of us have been here since 2001. Give us a break, these are funny.
