Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Here comes the album cover art section of this all too glorious thread.....

A blast from my high school past. I literally wore out this cassette. Thankfully CD was taking off back then.

Kudos, Rob!

I have a vinyl copy; at least the third one since wearing-out the first one too many years ago. The CD is in the collection, too........

This was always a favorite cover from a lesser-known spin-off band:

The band's second album cover may be a bit too risque for the thread.

In reply to mk2mer:

Yeah. I was already a "productive member of society" then (spelled "old guy who still liked new music"), and bought it on CD after I heard "Been Caught Stealing" on the radio.

Wow, I found something! Original video for it?

Hmm..seems like MTV's like CNN these days..no content on the air, but plenty at their website.

1991, the year my daughter was born. Had "Ritual de lo Habitual" in the CD player in the car almost 24/7. No wonder the poor kid's so berkeleyed up..

He wasn't Roger Dean, but some of his stuff was pretty cool..especially when you recall that he kinda invented the thing..

Can't "diss" Pete for not hitting the high notes anymore...I can't hit `em either. And I didn't have the brilliance to write a song like that in the first berkeleying place.

The guys at Mid-Atlantic are slowly putting one back together. Slowly, because they want it to *fly*. Great tribute to a great (and nearly forgotten) aircraft. Fabrication guys, check this one out..they started with one they found in a jungle on a South Pacific island. http://www.maam.org/p61/p61_rest.htm

I've been internet stalking those guy for quite a while.

How about the first F-15?

Every modern sport bike is indebted to this man.

Herbie Mann = make out music.

re: album covers. This is what sums up 80's hair rock.

Amazing. Craftsmen like that are few and far between now days. I like their nose art, too.

Fixed that for you. Everybody knows that the only important things in hair metal were Bobbie Brown on roller skates and Tawny Kitaen scratching up the hood of expensive cars.

bladerunner-robot Eddie would have given those metal posers quite a rapin'. Up the Irons!

If I saw her running radar I think I'd slam brakes, throw it in reverse, while backing at full speed, put it in the first forward gear then fly by her at like 900 miles per hour . . .LMAO!

I thought it was a hair dryer..

Politics aside, Jane was a major hottie back in the day.

FWIW, that was from Barbarella, and I suspect it was supposed to be some kind of gun

Hanoi Jane can kiss my ass. But yeah she was easy on the eyes.

Album covers: I wore this one out, along with everything else PF did back in the day.

I aways though this was a staged or retouched photo; turns out it was a real snap. The pig broke loose and went sailing, commercial aircraft were delayed for some time until the pig could be recovered. The story goes that David Gilmore chased the thing with a Cessna.

And there's a Jane's Addiction in the Trooper's CD changer as we speak.

Boring cover, great album.
