Let's just skip "We're Only In It For The Money", which had its own thread devoted to it a few weeks ago.

I am starting off with two of the most obvious ones:

more of an homage than a parody i suppose...

One parody and one homage:

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' Whipped Cream and Other Delights vs. Soul Asylum's Clam Dip and Other Delights

The Kinks' Kink Kontroversy vs. Sleater-Kinney's Dig Me Out

I think that Sleater Kinney sleeve has appeared on ILM more times than I've had hot dinners.

I think all of White Flag's covers are parodies, but I could only find this one.

Speaking of that "Elvis Golden Records 2" sleeve. Considering the subtitle of that album, it is weird that nobody has ever created a "A Billion flies can't go wrong - eat shit" album from it. :-)

I really like that London Calling thing. I never realized that.

Add this to that velvetcds site's Elvis GI Blues cover

Sean C. -- Those two "Whipped" rip-offs are great adds.

Here's another:

... and i think there's been a tread like this before, but my searches couldn't find it.

― christoff (christoff), Thursday, 10 April 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

oh -- and you add that Soul Asylum album to the list of som the 80's Best releases.

― christoff (christoff), Thursday, 10 April 2003 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)
