We'll readily admit to not understanding why we like this one ... Too many late night horror films? Something about the low tech design? Whatever! |

Geez, this is easily one of the bleakest and scariest LPs we've ever owned ... In this case the stark black and white cover's perfect for Young's devastating aural tales of despair. |

Can't really tell you why this one made the cut, other than we think it has something to do with the comic book style illustration. Must have something to do with our childhoods ... |

Obviously
a spoof of Sgt. Pepper (the Fab Four were reportedly less than

In this case we have to agree that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

In addition to being one of the all time classic compilations, the cover stands as a perfect embodiment of the musical genre and that point in time. |
