Haven't got the sleeves to show you, but in no particular order...

Joe Satriani - Surfing With An Alien
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
David Bowie - Reality

Ask me again tomorrow and none of those three will be on there probably, there's far too many to choose just three...

i KNEW somone was going to say surfing with the alien, and i just have to ask you why, dude....i mean, its an alien surfing in psychadelic waves. nothing you havent seen in a grateful dead poster.

but mine, i suppose, would be:
1. black sabbath:master of reality...the noglistia of this album cover makes me feel lava lamps, KISS posters, and reefer.

2. ACDC: highway to hell...nuff said?

3. GG allin-hated in the nation....if youve never listened to gg, then youve never actually heard punk rock and roll.

Ah, but I haven't seen any Grateful Dead poster's...Just glad I could prove you right though, ;) As I say, my choice's will change on a day by day (even hourly thinking about) basis. I've no great affection to Surfing With The Alien's cover, but it sprang to mind is all...

Hammerfall. The dorkiest band since Helloween. Although Rhapsody comes close.

I'm a strong believer that Manowar takes the cake on that one.

As for my choice of covers... well, I'm not really for anything in particular. I like King Diamond's CD covers. Severe Torture doesn't do too bad with it either, but I can't think of any favorites off the top of my head.

No WAY. Manowar's pretty dorktastic, but the day they come anywhere CLOSE to Rhapsody and Hammerfall will be a sad day indeed.

The one is wearing loin cloth in that picture. They look like He-Man for crap's sake. They're a metal band that sings about metal. How do you get any dorkier than that?

dude, what Iv found out is... the dorkier the band, the better.

Even though when I listen to Manowar, I laugh out loud, their music rocks!
And if you dont think so, YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND!!!!!!!!! I HAVE THE HAND OF DOOOOMM. I CRUSH ALL INFADELS IN STRAY!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF DEATH!!!!!!!

SO....DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
