Heh. I don't know exactly how Dvorak goes with feet. I guess good is just subjective.

This Moody Blues album cover is one of my all-time favorites.

Yeah, sure, I'm laughing uncontrollably now, but tonight I'm gonna have nightmares for sure.

The whole website is great. It's some kind of online shrine to various weird music. The circa-1995 web design is an added bonus. I can't stop staring at this page.

[this is (officially) good].

I love the tan lines on the cave woman!

Sweet creeping zombie Jesus, some of these are like a Dan Clowes drawing come to life. Gaaaah!

Upon further exploration, the Frivolous Five cover is a parody of this Herb Alpert album. I remember it distinctly from my father's stereo cabinet.

The album cover for "Billy Tipton Plays Piano in HIFI" is remarkable not only for its cheesiness (cake-y and otherwise)
but also for the fact that Billy Tipton was a woman who lived most of his adult life as a man.
Fun post.

Soul Asylum also did a parody of the Herb Alpert cover.

The cave chick is pretty hot. Those covers are good too. By the way, can someone remind me what album it is that was just white with huge rips down the front and guts pouring out? I remember seeing the LP somewhere, it's something famous.

Monty Python, The Final Ripoff. If only it had been true...

That reminds me of this site: the Museum of Bad Album Covers, which I think I've seen here before. (Some covers on this site are NSFW)

The Ohio Players, notorious and painfully weird.
