Some Albums I Only Checked Out Because The Cover Art Intrigued Me
1. Lustige Mutanten - Unpop (1981)
If memory serves me correctly this is a German synthpop album that sounds nothing resembling a pornographic German oompah band ... sadly.
2. Sexus - The Official End of It All (1996)
FACEPALM!!!!!!!!!!
Actually this cover pretty much sums up the bands whole career. Sexus were given acres and acres of press in the Melody Maker & NME as a part of the whole failed Romo movement (Basically an excuse to revive the New Romantics of the early 80s) back in the mid 90s when they were looking for the next big thing after they'd got bored of Britpop.
However nobody cared, Romo & Sexus died on their arses in a matter of weeks and this single became the only thing they ever released.
Shame really because it's quite good.
3. Various Artists - New Electric Warriors (1980)
Ever since I saw this album in Kerrang article on really bad album covers sometime in the early 90s I've wanted this album so so much.
I don't know why I would want an album full of third rate NWOBHM bands with a cover featuring a bunch of guys wearing pudding basins on their heads standing in a field playing air guitars or why would raise my interest so much after all these years, but there you go.

4. Treepeople - Something Vicious for Tomorrow / Time Whore (1992)
And you thought the internet invented goatse.
5. Briard - **** the Army / Product of TV–Generation (1978)
And also the human centipede was actually invented in Finland in 1978
6. The Dils - Class War (1990)
The anger, The aggression, The nihilism, The perms.
It's almost like I can feel it through the screen....
"Grrrrrrr"
