1. my God...

[WhoIsNumberNone]

2. Were you cleaning out the attic or something?

The Faith Tones.... Wow.

Anyone who thinks their generation had bad hair needs to check out how they rolled in 1961

[steve2470]

I laughed my ass off back then but eventually grew myself a new one.

5. Savela needs a Lady Schick

[Systematic Chaos]

6. I think the bottom one (Senor Coconut) is kinda cool.

Just they better play damn well for having the balls to pose like that for their album cover.

[progressoid]

11. It is pretty cool - Senor Coconut does a lot of great cover songs

And some orginal songs too. I have two of his CDs. He's actually German.

Smoke on the Water:

Beat It:

Da Da Da

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Schmidt

Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom Heart, Atom™, Señor Coconut; born August 27, 1968), is a German composer, musician and producer of electronic music. He is often regarded as the father of electrolatino, electrogospel and acitón (acid-reggaeton) music.

Schmidt was born in Frankfurt am Main, West Germany. During the early 1990s, he produced dance music under a number of monikers including Atom Heart. In 1994, Schmidt started his own label, Rather Interesting, with the aim of developing music that doesn't follow the "traditional paths of electronic music".

In 1996 he invented the Señor Coconut moniker, and released the album El Gran Baile in 1997, right after he had moved to Santiago, Chile, in order to detach from the European music scene.

His next release, in 2000, was El Baile Alemán, which featured several Kraftwerk classics reworked with Latin instrumentation and rhythms.

He has often stated Latin American, and particularly Brazilian, music as a big influence.[1]

The album was credited to Señor Coconut y Su Conjunto, but the album was entirely the work of Schmidt on synthesizers and samplers, with the aid of three vocalists. It received just enough critical acclaim in the U.S. for Schmidt to put together a short headlining tour. In March 2001, Señor Coconut, complete with a seven-piece backing band, set off for North America, but visa problems with some of the Chilean musicians forced Schmidt to cancel the tour.

[LynneSin]

15. John Ashcroft did an album? Wow so did Dick Cheney....

[dogknob]

31. By all means, DO keep that in the shrink-wrap...

If someone here can post Trout Mask Replica, then I'll have to share this...

[pink-o]

35. OMG, Awesome!!

[pstokely]

36. Yep

[dogknob]

29. Ashcroft and Bacon?

I thought that looked suspicious on the menu at Waffle House, but I was a jerk and ordered it anyway...

Lemme tell ya I still ain't right!

[LynneSin]

10. I own this one...

[Burma Jones]

12. You left out.....

[HopeHoops]

13. Donny Osmonde in a white suit with a white grand piano on the railroad tracks.

At least that's how I remember it. Someone gave it to me as a gag gift in the late 70s. I've never opened it of course. It's in with a box of albums I can't get to right now in the basement.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Is that Dick Cheney on The Handsome Beasts cover?

Seriously, these are really gawd awful.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. I thought it looked like Karl Rove, for a minute

All those republicans are handsome beasts, of course.

[treestar]

17. Faith Tones looks like a photoshop of women's hair and dress onto men

Something about the faces makes me think those individuals are men.

[alterfurz]

30. Tom Hanks on the left; John Lithgow right...

...not sure who that is in the middle!

[Ikonoklast]

38. Your worst nightmare.

[hifiguy]

18. I will see those and raise you a Heino

Gads, you know those roses are going to explode....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Reminds me of Sprockets on SNL.

You have disturbed me almost to the point of insanity...There. I am insane now.

[mikeytherat]

32. Dearest Mother: The Bouquet That Never Wilts

Gotta love Heino!

mikey_the_rat

[hifiguy]

33. A brief look at the wikipedia page for Heino

noted that two of his more notable songs are "Komm in meinen Wigwam" (1976) and
"Bier, Bier, Bier" (1980).

If I went into a wigwam and found Heino sitting there I would need something stronger than bier.

[skypilot]

37. Oh my god.

This guy makes Andy Warhol look like a Calvin Klein model.

[HughBeaumont]

19. So now I GOTTA hunt Kjell Kraghe's work.

Hyper-Pentacostal Fundies should not be allowed anywhere NEAR a photo shoot.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. They don't believe in makeup, for one thing. Makeup is for sluts and whores, didn't ya know???

And they overdo their hair.
The extreme ones don't think women should cut their hair. That is utterly ridiculous.

If I don't cut mine when it hits shoulder length it becomes completely unmanageable.
I have enough hair for three people, I'm lucky.

[HughBeaumont]

21. Then they grow it out and Bouffant it:

L to R: Matthew Broderick, Billy Corgan, the mutant daughter of Woody Allen, Hank Kissinger and Stephen Moore.

[OriginalGeek]

23. I thought the middle one could easily be

Jimmy Kimmel's mom.

[OriginalGeek]

22. My fundie church was, I think, unusual in that

they were OK with a little makeup. Women should only wear dresses (never pants - girls PE dress was culottes) and dancing was a sin and so was going to movies but (and they LOVED to say it this way) "If the barn needs paintin', paint it." (Actually said by the preacher from the pulpit and repeated often by the men)


I never got around to asking my mom if she resented being thought of as a barn but considering all the other bullshit she took from those creeps I reckon that didn't bother her either.

[GoneOffShore]

24. 1970's England - Record shop in Tunbridge Wells

Did a window display with the David Cassidy album cover.

We sold at least 3 cases of that album. I still don't know why.

[Hugabear]

25. Here's a few more...

Nothing says "Christian" like posing with automatic weapons
Nothing says "metal" like posing in bumblebee outfits

[hifiguy]

27. That last one is terrifying at the molecular level.

I don't even want to know how many generations of inbreeding are needed to produce a creature like that.
