  • dmpdpete, on 02/20/2009, -0/+3***** you, stax is worth it, finally something people push mindlessly to the front page that is actually badass

  • Maxwell1234, on 02/20/2009, -1/+2Worst thread ever.
  • NealKasper, on 02/20/2009, -0/+1The problem is the Heavy Petting Zoo cover is supposed to be funny, and it really isn't. I like NoFX too, but you have to admit that cover is lame.
  • esthercaulfield, on 02/21/2009, -0/+1How are you going to call this "Top 10 Stax Record Covers" when several of them aren't even Stax releases?
  • Maxwell1234, on 02/20/2009, -0/+1My sentiments exactly.
  • dmpdpete, on 02/20/2009, -1/+2u are fat and stupid
  • mohadata, on 02/20/2009, -1/+2not really stupid list
  • addrake, on 02/20/2009, -0/+1NOFX?

    The others I get, but that NOFX cover is supposed to be funny.

    It's from Heavy Petting Zoo
  • WoollyMittens, on 02/20/2009, -1/+2Three guesses where you can put your annoying 16 page slideshow.

    boom, head shot
  • antillesrock, on 04/20/2009, -0/+0Stax beats Motown hands down in any competition. We featured Stax artist Bobby Womack on our podcast last year. http://www.shutupandlistenpodcast.com Memphis Rocks!
  • funkrusher, on 02/20/2009, -2/+2Not the most diverse top 10.
    I realize that it's one label but they had to have a few more acts to with "bad-ass" album covers.
    Why not just call it Booker T Album covers?

  • jakk, on 02/20/2009, -3/+2I dont get it.
  • BRENTON8907, on 02/20/2009, -10/+8After clicking through 10 slides all I can do is warn those that are about to do the same. It's definitely not worth it.
  • factsahoy, on 02/20/2009, -2/+0Songs become album covers?

    ***** dumb.
  • factsahoy, on 02/20/2009, -4/+1You can't spell "you."
  • factsahoy, on 02/20/2009, -4/+1Pretty lame overall. Not exactly the kind of gallery we need to emphasize what we lost with album art.
  • windpipes, on 02/20/2009, -3/+0Hee, hee I am sure there are even lamer covers than these
  • kimonokiller, on 02/20/2009, -5/+2Eh.
  • Uarefat, on 02/20/2009, -9/+5stupid list
  • hagusmcfee, on 02/20/2009, -6/+2songs > album covers

    ***** lame
  • factsahoy, on 02/20/2009, -6/+1Spelling "WTF" backward with wrong capitalization: not funny.
  • inactive, on 02/20/2009, -11/+3No thanks, I'm not clicking through 10 slides.
