Two of my favorite records. Hah! CD's, too bad it was just UK bands, as Jane's Addiction's Nothings Shocking cover would make the list at NUMBER ONE! Though I should add that they did a great disservice by leaving off the Pogues' Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash cover.
Wow, I am in a strange mood tonight. Better go comment on that Buffy post.
Here you go, one of the best record covers ever:
Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash
So, I decided to spam your blog, and make my own list.
I'm really curious - who in the hell did they survey? Blind people? Mental patients? The retarded?
Another example of why I should be placed in charge of the planet. When I am king, none of this nonsense will be permitted to continue.
Blind people? Mental patients? The retarded?
I am all three. How about you?
