(Found while looking for the cottage in Sheildaig link..!)

Probably a bit harsh to see Kevin Rowland popping up in that assortment.

I thought these were all made up until I saw the W.A.S.P. and Manowar ones. Jeez

The one with the tuba is in the wrong list.

I was just checking in to add a link to the Kevin Rowland LP but see that it’s included. Some absolute belters there, and used to have the Heino one as a profile pic on another forum.

a few more in here….

some NSFW and of a slightly different style to the first list… which by the way, were weird and wonderful in equal measure!

Seen that a few times before but I always forget about it unitl the next time it pops up. love it.

Dangerous Dave! The turntable slave!!

I found that delight of a site years ago and for quite a while this was my Facebook picture 🙂

I have no words!

The 50’s/60’s Christian Revivalist Movement in the US has a lot to answer for when it comes to keyboards being ruined by tea.

All time champion.

Honorable mention.

No, because it’s intentional. The best ones are where they are unintentionally awful.

We passed a farm in Wales last week, advertising “rams & females for sale” and wondered why it didn’t say ewes instead?

the back is great as it’s the same guy eating lamb chops. Also, knew ManoWar would be on the list. Better at being Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap

.

Took me a couple of years to move past the Suede, Dog Man Star cover and actually buy/listen to the album. Which is a belter even now.

“The best of Wayne Newton” about 3/4 of the way down had me in stitches, just brilliant 🤣

stwhannah had hoped her past life in Germany would never be revealed.

Which commandment specifically forbids shagging out with immediate family?

Could have picked any number of pen&pixel album covers really.

And let’s not forget Trick Daddy’s classic http://www.thug.com, for a futuristic vision of what gangsta rap on the information superhighway could have been

What no Chumbawumba?

Loving Gary too!

I think “Watch over my little girl” and “Julie’s 16th birthday” were the most worrying….

Why are there only three members (fnarr fnarr) in the Dick Handler Quartet ?

Nice to see Rolf Harris getting a mention, whatever happened to him?

They are hilarious! My pussy is for daddy? amazing
I saw this in the rack outside a record shop. I took a photo, but wish I’d bought it.

Did not age well.

If you're looking for the cultural high point of the 80s, I submit for consideration the day the Junkyard Dog recorded “Grab Them Cakes.” pic.twitter.com/xZxejQnaa6

Good thing I got some alcohol in today, I’m going to need something to help me sleep after going through that little lot! 🫣😱

I remember the WASP album, it was pretty tongue in cheek at the time I thought. Park of their OTT schtick.
Also met a Manny from Manowar once, he was driving a car (a pretty cool older town car) my Dad had sent to pick me and my brother up from JFK as he couldn’t be bothered. My brother and I both had long hair, due to our respective rave/metal preferences. Manny asks if we mind if he removes his drivers uniform cap, as he sees our long hair and figures we don’t.
Anyhow, he asks if we know the Brixton Academy cos he played there, of course we exclaim WTF or something similar. So yeah he’s one of the Manowar guys. Really nice guy, still playing in Germany obvs (1990’s) and getting royalty cheques.
‘We are Manowar, we fear nothing’

Am I reading this right? Your dad employed a member of Manowar as a chauffeur??

Not really, he booked a driver who was the Manowar guy.
I guess as many musicians/ artists do he had a pay the bills kind of job to fill in between royalty cheques or gigs. I wish we had a camera back then.

most of the folks on those album covers look like singeltrack readers and forumites as “normal people” would see us!!

Pipe smoking cleric?

I think we know him under another name…

Pipe Smoking Cleric would be a good band or album name
