Smell the Glove.

Simple, beautiful, classic. It’s like a black mirror and looks like death.

I often wonder how much more black could it be? and the answer is "None. None...more black".

The Cars Candy-O mainly because it defines my freshman year cross country when I found out I was a kinda decent runner.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

I had that album and believe the girl is Ginger Baker's daughter. The second printing of the album was a plain brownish picture of the band.

The Allman Brothers Band. First album...1969, I think.

"On the cover you put a greased, naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck and a leash, and a man's arm extended out to here holding onto the leash and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist? It's 1982. Get out of the '60's. We don't have that mentality anymore."

Warrant's masterpiece Cherry Pie beats 'em all.
