So yeah, as much as I dislike Talk Talk, I'd choose it over the crappy Virgin Killer any day.

I'm glad Laughing Stock had won. Otherwise I would have been depressed that I didn't vote for it (I forgot to vote in this particular match-up) when I had the chance.

Virgin Killers, whatever that is, may have a good cover, but Virgin Killer sure doesn't. But it IS amusing. And it got Wikipedia in trouble a bit, which is really funny, but..........well, it just isn't a good cover. Even some band member or something later said something about regretting that they had chosen it for a cover.

Pfft, what do they know about art? Besides, there issue had more to do with the fact that the cover was misleading as to the meaning of the album's name; the piece as a whole is actually a pretty nice work of art. The piece is well composed, well balanced and has some nice contrast going on there. Laughing Stock on the other hand - it's far too symmetrical, and very rarely does symmetry make for engaging composition. And the colours just aren't doing it for me; very few times have I looked at such vivid colours yet still felt bored by them. They just aren't very well utilized. Overall, it just isn't a very impressive cover.

You're joking, right? What it mostly is, is some piece of paedopornography, probably meant to shock cheap. I mean, who cares about "balance" or "contrast" when seeing this? What everybody sees is a very young girl, naked, with Virgin Killer written above her. Totally empty, would-be controversial stuff just to get your name uttered.

How the freaking rotten honey is Virgin Killer more "impressive" than Laughing Stock?
