You put up a brave fight, Van Halen. A good show by a crappy album with a great cover.

Interesting, it is actually the only match-up in this group where I like both...

Went for Van Halen

Now you may know something I don't here, but technically it does not have to be grammatically incorrect.

There are cases where plural forms end with an a instead of an s (as in Forum - Fora) and it could be the possessive form (as in: This album is The La's). As I said though, have no idea what they really mean with it.

In this case that is actually correct.. La is Liverpool slang for a guy or bloke. So in this case it actually means the album belonging to the La. So grammatically correct (although I always thought as there were four of them it should have been the Las')

I thought it was short for "lads" actually. Anyway, The La's it is for me.

Ok you've got me there... don't know - possibly. But I think you are right it is unlikely!

You have to admit...'Las' might look a bit confusing.

As for the match, I'm really hoping Van Halen win this one. I really like that cover 😄 It's kinda like "Jesus doesn't really help us with what's happened around us, now does it?"

The La's cover is nice too though.

Don't make too many assumptions.

Van Halen is great... I'm not really a fan of this particular album. I figured some might like Van Halen, but not Van Halen Live.

Is it because it reminds you of Disco volante?

I voted for the La's because it is simply a nicer cover. It looks incredible in 12".

So Go The La's!

🤣

This is a good one to test if everyone can ignore music quality and just judge the album cover. I'd like to think most on this site will value the La's music over Van Halen Live. But we're voting on album cover alone. I just thought Van Halen was clever on this one.

It would be an entirely different cover, however, if Van Halen was a Christian-rock band.

Vote Van Halen!
