OT: Bad Albums

[Derf]

I just found Glover's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and listened to it. Yikes! That beats out Pat Boone's metal album by a longshot. I may have to buy that album very soon. . .

I was looking through that Museum of Bad Album Covers website.
Hilarious!

One thing though, The Virgin Killers cover is number 1 in their Top 10........ewww!

I own the movie "The Stoned Age" on DVD and in it, several characters tell Lani (the girl on the hood of the car below) that she "looks like that chick on the Virgin Killers album."  (if you've seen it then you know what I'm talking about)



I've seen that movie 10 times but I'd never seen the actual Virgin Killers album cover until today.

Disturbing.

Slayer=NO THANKS!
Overkill= Hell Yeah!

Sorry dude but I've never been able to get into Slayer.
I think they totally suck.
Overkill on the other hand....

Obviously you're not angry and/or bitter enough.

Try older Slayer like Seasons in the Abyss...even my wife likes that one. Good stuff.

There used to be a sight which listed "Screaming Lord Sutch and His Heavy Friends" as the worst LP ever. You could listen to tracks on this site. I listened and thought "I have to have that." I found it on CD (under the name "Smoke and Fire: a jam with Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and others"in the bargin bin of a music store in Branson, MO.

There is only about two tracks that are really bad. There rest kick hard.

The SUN Online just put out an article for some bad covers.

Check it out here

If anyone is still interested in some truly wretched "music," I found some of the worst stuff I've ever heard here.

It's not albums; it's a collection of songs from various "artists" (if you loosen that term to include those whose musical/performance abilities have the sucking power of an industrial vacuum cleaner in a black hole). Well-known artists who grace the site include Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, Mitch Miller and Devo. Song titles include such gems as "Punk Side Story," "Also Sprach Kazoostra," "Macho Duck," and "(Tear Their) Syphilitic Vaginas to Pieces."
