What's so great about the Zeppelin IV cover ;). If it was an awful album, it would have been forgotten.

I wouldn't say it's vomit inducing. Just a closeup of a guys zipper. But the fact that they actually put a zipper into the vinyl case was truely inovative, and worth a mention I think.

[Tenafly Viper]

LOL... Don't get me wrong it is definitely worth mentioning....:D

Thank you. Any other result would be a mockery.

Ok, I'm going to get this vote out of the way. This will be to decide what albums make it to the tournament for the bands Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. Vote for the albums you do not want to be in the tournament. That means you'll be picking one album per band that you don't want to see in the tournament. Are we clear ;)?
