I think this has been done on here before, but someone has collated 150 of possibly the biggest horrors of all time here:

Just in time for Hallowe'en.
Be afraid...

My God! What is that on number 17? My dreams will be of the haunted variety tonight that's for sure.

The only one I've got is Love Drive by the Scorpions - can't believe they have included that to be honest!

I knew before opening the link that there'd be at least one Man o War album cover on there. Hands down the best worst band ever. Like Spinal Tap, but actually serious.

So don't agree with Sabotage being on that list.

You've got to hand it to Manowar, nobody but Prince Adam could have pulled off that album cover but they came as close as was humanly possible

Did Mrs Cooper (#66) own a mirror?

And I see Scorpions made the list twice, but not with Virginkiller....

Sabotage belongs on there because of Bill Wards tights. I have a copy, the only one. The horror.

I think I managed twenty before incipient nausea forced me to stop. I'll carry on when I've built up some resistance.
Alchohol will probably help.

The Sabotage album is made worse if you know that the rear of the album is the rear view of the band (including those fetching red tights!)

It drops off a bit on page 2 but the section 91 - 98 is on top form.

100-150 is just 100 for me.

I was expecting to find one of my collection in the list:

not sure about the scorpions ones being there, humorous and suggestive, just like any german rock band.

was expecting to see more metal 'artwork' to be honest. but yes, manowar deserve to be there, back in the 80's they were pretty laughable, now however they've become fashionable cheese-metal. god knows how that happened, there should be rules about who represents the 80's metal scene...

I thought the bloke in #42 was Frank Skinner for a moment.
