I'm sure they sound terrible, but that is some magical album art.

Boston did it better.



That's a giant flaming guitar spaceship carrying the entire city of Boston into space while the planet earth blows the gently caress up behind it. And it's just one of several flaming guitar spaceships, all carrying other cities. The last remnants of a dead world, and the last hope for humanity.

AND IT'S ON EVERY ALBUM.



Not only that, if you piece them all together, they tell a sequential story of the flaming guitar cityship fleet searching the galaxy for an inhabitable planet to set down their precious cargo before the flagship, Boston, crash lands. Will the planet prove inhabitable? Will rock and roll survive?

We'll never know, because the original band broke up and the next incarnation dropped the storyline. Still had the flaming guitar cityship on their albums though.

I don't know why it never occurred to me that that was Boston the city itself in the dome of the ship, makes perfect sense. It does make me wonder if the others have like SAN DIEGO in giant prog-rock lettering on their fronts.

Their shtick better be that they only have one song, and it's a prog-rock cover Weird Al's 'Another One Rides The Bus' extended out for 20 minutes to fit their LP. Side B is the same song in German.

Does anyone know if kids used to be really cool with ventriloquism? I figure that it's just old people trying to appeal to kids by having a cool and fun puppet, but the more I think about it the more I don't think any child ever has enjoyed a ventriloquist dummy so much as they enjoy Muppets or sock puppets or furrier dead-eyed friends.

There was a space-based webcomics about a couple women itinerant workers at a spaceport, which resulted in a guest artist comic done in poser in which the characters ran into like a space hippie who ended up taking them on a Boston style guitar city ship and creating an entire backstory based around those albums and why humanity had to take to the stars in giant guitars. Does anyone else remember this? I've been trying to find it but I can't remember what it was called.

As a child of some pretty religious parents, these bands were among the few that were auto-approved for listening in our house. And really, as far as 80's hair metal bands went, I've heard worse.

If it reminds you of the olden days of gaming, it might be because artists like Roger Dean did cover art for both albums and videogames.

I'm in an acoustic eclectic band, pretty low key, occasionally jazzy, occasionally singer-songwriter type stuff. Our first album cover will be done in the style of Petra's "More Power To Ya" if it is the last thing I do.

I've never seen anything more perfect.

I found it; the original comic was called Dicebox, and the spinoff with the guitar ships was called Don't Look Back:

Parliament and Funkadelic are actually separate groups, both formed by George Clinton. They've kind of morphed into a single collective over the years though. Parliament actually started as a doo-wop group in the 50s.
