Subject: Album Covers
>What is the strangest/wildest album cover you've seen.

The Zoo's _Shakin' the Cage_ album depicts a contortionist with his head
between his legs.

>What is your favorite album cover.

Pretty much anything by Dean (Yes, Asia, etc) or by Neon Park (Little Feat),
Black Sabbath's _TYR_ has some spectacular photos of mountains with deeply
colored clouds, Pink Floyd's _Animals_, too many to name...

>What is the srangest/wildest band name.

Ozric Tentacles

What is it with these jokers at SNYPLAVA? Do they breed these people for their
sheer stupidity?

Maybe he would be a good singer if someone took the woodworker's clamps off of
his balls. The man sounds like he is in excruciating pain. He should take your
advice and clam the hell down.

I think we could have a hit album if we grabbed Ben, the NetWart and castrated
him without anesthesia while me and Lenny lay down some Blues in the
background. Marco, could we use your studio?      8)

Ooh, you're gonna get it now... Listen Kiddo, Believe it or not, there are
several members of this list who are no longer members of the wet-eared bubble
gum chewing eMpTV crowd.

It seems that you are in the minority.

I'd have to guess that it was something done by the radio station and not the
band. Give 'em a call and ask.
