This is a recent picture of Imiskoubria. (the guys shown on the first album picture) To give you a little insight, they are a Greek hip-hop group. Their style is similar to the Beastie Boys as well, which makes the coincidence even funnier.

I need some help here. I know there's a very similar cover to this Social Distortion album:

I believe it's supposed to be this compilation of a rockabilly artist. I noticed it while searching around for rockabilly artists on AllMusic.com a few days ago, but I can't find it now. :mad:

the Weird Al ones and 2 live Jews are supposed to mock the covers as a humorous approach whereas the other ones just do it because of lack of originality.

Who posted that cover that looked just like CYH? I was a while back.
