We're Not Gonna Take It

Since I did the best album covers of the '60s, '70s, and "'80s" yesterday, I thought today I would do the worst album covers of the '80s and '90s.

10.  River of Dreams (1993) - Billy Joel


I don't know what's more disturbing:  the songs on the album or the cover.

9.  5150 (1986) - Van Halen


The amount of discomfort I am feeling right now from this cover...

8.  Bridges to Babylon (1997) - The Rolling Stones


If I covered "The Rolling Stones" and "Bridges to Babylon," would you ever guess this belongs to one of the greatest bands of all time?

7.  Body Wishes (1983) - Rod Stewart

So.  Many.  Rods.

6.  Get Lucky (1981) - Loverboy

I consider myself to be very unlucky after seeing this.

5.  Julie's Sixteenth Birthday (1985) - John Bult

"They forgot my f***ing birthday!"

4.  Y Kant Tori Read (1988) - Y Kant Tori Read

Y kant Tori spell

3.  I'm God's Child (1980) - The Cooper Family


Awkward Family Photos.

2.  Back to the S*** (1989) - Millie Jackson


Everyone who approved of this cover needs to be taken back to the shit.

1.  Stay Hungry (1984) - Twisted Sister

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband

The Last Play at Shea

This is an absolutely amazing documentary about the history of Shea Stadium.  The Beatles were the first band to perform at a stadium and it became legendary, especially since it wasn't just any band - it was The Beatles.  The whole documentary is based around Billy Joel's 2008 performance.  There were two concerts filmed over July 16 and July 18 with a combined total of 110,000 fans.  These two performances were the final two before Shea Stadium was demolished.  This film was first presented in front of 20,000 people at Citi Field, the stadium that replaced Shea.
The musicians that appear in the film are Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, Roger Daltrey, John Mayer, Paul McCartney, John Mellencamp, and Steven Tyler.  The 25 songs performed are:

1. Prelude/Angry Young Man
2. My Life
3. Summer, Highland Falls
4. Everybody Loves You Now
5. Zanzibar
6. New York State of Mind (with Tony Bennett)
7. Allentown
8. The Ballad of Billy the Kid
9. She's Always a Woman
10. Goodnight Saigon
11. Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)
12. Shameless (with Garth Brooks)
13. This Is the Time (with John Mayer)
14. Keeping the Faith
15. Captain Jack
16. Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)
17. The River of Dreams/A Hard Day's Night
18. We Didn't Start the Fire
19. You May Be Right
20. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
21. Only the Good Die Young
22. I Saw Her Standing There (with Paul McCartney)
23. Take Me Out to the Ball Game
24. Piano Man
25. Let It Be (with Paul McCartney)

This movie is incredible.  It is done so well and as a music rookie, I find it to be very inspiring.
