Marlon Brando’s Oscar win for " The Godfather"

Bette Davis presenting the Best Actor Oscar to Marlon Brando for his performance in “On the Waterfront” at the 27th Annual Academy Awards in 1955.

Back when the Oscars weren’t just one big vomitfest and when great actors and movies were properly recognised.

A lovely snippet of probably the greatest actor of em all collecting his gong for his sublime portrayal of Terry Malloy in Elia Kazan‘s timeless “On the Waterfront“, from a great script by Budd Schulberg.

A very modest and very brief speech. No flood of crocodile tears! Every modern day nominee should be made to watch this before the Oscar Ceremony!

We love Bette Davis’ outfit! Kind of a cross between a smurf, a nun, a munchkin and a mental patient!

The 100 Worst Album Covers Ever ! The HORROR!

Capt. Kurtz:

…. I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God… the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment. Because it’s judgment that defeats us …….

… The horror… the HORROR …

Man, there are some real horrors in here! More than Capt. Kurtz could envisage in his wildest nightmares!

Most of ‘em are from the likes of Prince, the Bee Gees and Scorpions! And the Rolling Stones!

An interesting listing, no doubt. However, there are at least one hundred other potential candidates!

Thanks to djlanda at rateyourmusic

100		Rick James Throwin’ Down (1982) Most of the worst album covers in rock history feature people dressed like Conan the Barbarian! Here’s a prime example!
99		RuPaul Ho Ho Ho (1997) Ho indeed! Man Ho! In celebration of lil baby Jesus‘s birth, Rupaul did this. Only Eddie Murphy bought this LP!
98		Prince Dirty Mind (1980) With his second album, Prince expanded his fan base to gay cowboys, kinky swimmers and casual fetishists. And Born-Again Preachers!
97		Black Sabbath Born Again (1983) A collection of Born-Again hymnals! Based on St. Rosemary and her lovely baby !
96		Menudo -Reaching Out (1984) This has put me off my lunch! MENUDO!?! WTF! We shall say no more! Except this … don’t reach out in this direction menudo, or you’ll be visiting ER!
95		Meat Loaf -Dead Ringer (1981) On the epic quest of a lifetime, a band of ancient adventurers cross the darkest oceans, slay the fiercest beasts and scale the highest mountains… in search of the fabled gigantic cheeseburger. We can’t wait til Mr. Meat releases an autobiographical LP titled “Dead Singer”!
94		Luke -In the Nude (1993) Is that Jaque from “227″? This guy Luke useta write a lot of Gospels back in the day! Seems to have lost his way with hos and drugs and bathtubs now though!
93		Tammy Faye Bakker We’re Blest (1979) It’s OK – Jesus wore sable furs and earned loadsa cash on false pretences too! We’re curst to have even seen this, let alone listen to the shit! God ain’t real, bitch! But education is! Learn to fucking spell!
92		Anthrax -We’ve Come for You All (2003) For once a band name that accurately describes the effect of the noise they make! Morons, if your country is currently in fear of an attack from biological weapons don’t release shit like this. BTW, change your name to “Pile of Puke”.
91		Ozzy Osbourne Speak of the Devil (1982) Ozzy: “Me loves doves. Them taste fookin good, mate! ….. Oooh! Me feelin dizzy! Take me back to the Old Folks Home, will ya love”
90		David Crosby -If I Could Only Remember My Name (1971) This cover is beautiful in the way that drug-induced brain hemorrhages are beautiful. Real title was “If only I Could Write a Decent Song”
89		Waylon Jennings Ladies Love Outlaws (1972) Is this cute? Or is this illegal? Yap, illegal – in every state except Texas! Ladies may love Outlaws, but ladies ain’t too fond of Paedos!!
88		Country Church Country Church Four more reasons to nuke the redneck heartland! This is what too much inbreeding can lead to! All Sarah Palin fans, of course!
87		Barry & Glodean -Barry & Glodean (1981) Barry: “Look, baby… an alien spacecraft, man.” Glodean: “It’s the motherFUCKIN’ ship, baby!” Barry: “Mmmmm. I’m gonna lay it down by the fire, man.” Glodean: “Awwwwwww yeeeeeeah…” Barry: “Today was one sure fine day, baby!” Glodean: “Awwwwwww yeeeeeeah…”
86		William Hung Hung for the Holidays (2004) In celebration of lil baby Jesus‘s birth, William Hung did this. Willy should Be hung!
85		Lords of Acid -Pussy (1998) [Single] Man, that looks worse than Madonna’s rancid holy of holies! Go see your gynaecologist now honey! HURRY! HURRY!
84		David Cassidy -The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall (1975) The higher they climb, the harder they fall? That’s a real good lesson from David – truly one of rock’s real anti-heroes. Just like Robbie Williams or Avril Lavigne! We hope Davie climbs real high and falls real hard … real soon!
83		Scorpions Animal Magnetism (1980) Mary deep-throats like a champ. Fido loves to lick peanut butter and has false teeth. Which to choose? Which to choose? OK then – I’ll take em both!!
82		Prince -Sexuality (1982) [Single] Someone should tell Carly Simon she’s got something on her lip. Lil P. was obviously living in San Francisco round 82 and “experimenting”!!
81		Whitesnake -Lovehunter (1979) On January 3rd, 1979, at 3:25 PM, Whitesnake unanimously decide that their music is best represented by the image of a nude woman dry humping a snake. Well that or a steaming pile of rancid puke!
80		Liberace Liberace Now! (1967) Liberace now! Tomorrow… the world! Original title was “Liberace NEVER”!
79		Butthole Surfers Brown Reason to Live (1983) [EP] All we can say is that this isn’t the worst Butthole Surfers album on this list.
78		Ashford & Simpson -The Very Best of Ashford & Simpson (2002) [Compilation] They look real happy! Tell me they’re not doing it doggystyle! “C”mon Ash, do me harder! And spank that big ass!”
77		Wham! -Bad Boys (1983) [Single] They look like real bad boys alright! Tell me they’re not doing it doggystyle! “C”mon Georgie, do me harder! And spank that big ass!”
76		The Rolling Stones -‘Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!’: The Rolling Stones in Concert (1970) This is amongst the greatest live albums ever. So why does the donkey look so embarrassed? Guess he’s the only one not insanely high on drugs!
75		Limp Bizkit -Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000) This album’s title contains euphemisms for penis, sperm and asshole. The cover features pot-smoking aliens wallowing in a pool of porcine meat products. And the music was even worse. Thank you, lame Bizkit!
74		Fabio -Fabio After Dark (1993) Yes, ladies. When he’s not striking a pose on the cover of a wonderful romance novel, Fabio is striking a pose at the bottom of a wonderful bargain bin!
73		Saxon Saxon (1979) A Stevie Wonder drawing of Conan the Barbarian! The heavy rawk muzak was far far worse though!
72		Crosby, Stills & Nash Live It Up (1990) Impaled sausages in space! Erm … OK! Having curtailed their rampant drug use for 2 minutes, C S & N once conceded, “It seemed like a good idea at the time. Kind of!”
71		George Jones One Woman Man (1989) Only one woman? Surely you jest! Don’t limit yourself buddy – after all, you are God’s one gift to humanity!
70		Dwarves -The Dwarves Must Die (2004) With their latest affront to humanity, The Dwarves manage to insult women, Christians, little people and the time-honoured art of crucifixion! They also manage to irrevocably damage numerous ear drums and brains! Nice work!
69		Brainstorm Smile a While (1972) Four more reasons to nuke Germany! Whose brainstorm was this cross dressing debacle? Eddie Murphy?
68		The Lemon Pipers Jungle Marmalade (1968) Now with 20 percent more human flesh! Still shit though!
67		Eddie Murphy Love’s Alright (1993) What the hell’s this? The full title was Love with a Tranny’s Alright!
66		Scorpions -Lovedrive (1979) How did that guy get the mannequin out of the store? Isn’t this illegal (everywhere except Texas!)?
65		David Bowie -Young Americans (1975) Photographer: “Welcome to Glamour Shots.” Bowie: “I want to look American. And young!” Photographer: “Ah, if only I had some tinsel!” Bowie: “Bugger the tinsel.” Photographer: “OK. Backlight, airbrush, bracelet, spliff, no teeth. Perfect David! Simply Perfect! You look real American now! And real young!” Bowie: “Really, man? Really?“ Photographer: “Yap”
64		Jermaine Jackson My Name Is Jermaine (1976) The end of the sentence was “and I’m a muzakaholic”! This might be music’s most blatant cry for attention. And music’s most awful crime against humanity!
63		Eartha Kitt -I’m Still Here (1989) Yeah … and you’re still frightening the children! Does this LP now need to be renamed?
62		John Bult Julie’s Sixteenth Birthday (1985) Oh, hell no! That shit is definitely illegal (in every State except Texas! – Or in R. Kelly’s condo! (allegedly!))
61		A Flock of Seagulls Dream Come True (1986) More like Nightmare Come True! ….. Flock of Seagulls…. Arm with fiddles …. ATTACK!
60		Yanni -Keys to Imagination (1986) Waterfalls? Check! Lofty mountains? Check! Majesty of the universe? Check! Inane pseudo-spiritual visual concepts? Check! Giant broken egg? Check! Eat your druggy watercolors, Moody Blues!
59		Boned -Up at the Crack (2004) Could this be the height of poodle rock “machismo”? Well, considering the only logical hiding place for the REST of the guitar… we’d say Boned didn’t think this one through! Boned is Bono’s son, BTW! And he likes to be boned up the crack!
58		Paul Anka The Fabulous Paul Anka (1959) It’s Paul Anka’s disembodied head! His freakin’ head! The inclusion of the word “Fabulous” here is very false advertising!
57		Donna Summer Love to Love You Baby (1975) Donna Summer always found inspiration while playing with herself in outer space! She’s singing that song to her own holy of the holies!
56		Alice Cooper -Zipper Catches Skin (1982) It’s a splash of blood…. from a zipper… on skin. EWWWW! We got a bleeder! A Bleeder! …
55		Paddy Roberts -Songs for Gay Dogs (1966) This is beyond insanity! Wolfgang Pug licked his share of peanut butter to get this modelling gig. But playing “bury the bone” with Paddy was a low point in his career! They both soon after died in a tragic carpet suffocation accident!
54		MC Pooh -Funky As I Wanna Be (1992) Pooh: “Oh, bother. No honey in here.” The muzak was poo poo too! Does that model know she’s got a giant head growing out of her privates! See your gynaecologist fast, honey!
53		Pat Boone -In a Metal Mood – No More Mr. Nice Guy (1997) With leather on his chest and a lunatic twinkle in his eye, Pat turned the metal world upside down with his raucous brand of bland crooning with poodle rock accompaniment. Who’s your daddy indeed! This inspired Guns & Roses to reform last year! They couldn’t reach the heights of this work though!
52		Millie Jackson -E.S.P. (Extra Sexual Persuasion) (1983) Surprisingly, this is Mad Mill’s her first appearance on this list! But wait until you see her top-20 entry! Here Millie does her best blow up doll imitation! The muzak was written by a blow up doll also!
51		Bee Gees -Children of the World (1976) Is this some tribute to paedophilia?! Barry: “A Spotlight! We’ve been found out!” Robin: “Now we’ll never get the children!” Maurice: “Quick! To the Disco Jet!” Barry: “We’ll be back, bitches!”
50		Dolly Parton -Bubbling Over (1973) Dolly Parton’s disembodied head! Nice! We believe the head appears as a float in the Dollywood Night Parade. Original title was “Tumbling Over”, in honour of her 30 lbs of silly cone!
49		Herbie Mann – Push Push (1971) No! No!! … I remember this guy from ‘Deliverance’! “Squeal like a pig, boy!!”
48		Tiny Tim -Tiny Tim’s Christmas Album (1995) In celebration of lil baby Jesus’s birth, Tiny Tim did this! It’s GW Bush’s fave LP!
47		Kenny Loggins Keep the Fire (1979) Kenny denies having a Jesus complex! His music is satanic, after all!
46		Roger -The Many Facets of Roger (1981) Contrary to popular belief (and some vigorous marketing), Roger only had one facet. Well, zero facet, actually!
45		Leif Garrett Feel the Need (1978) LEIF us the fuck alone will you, buddy! Before Knight Rider, before Joey Lawrence, before good taste, there was this asshole, Leif Garrett. BTW, this guy discovered America years before Columbus! Then he tried to pollute it with muzak!
44		Various Artists – Genres – Adult The Sensuous Black Woman Meets the Sensuous Black Man (1971) Surely false advertising here! We don’t want to know what the fuck this one’s about! Let’s move on, shall we and never speak of this again!
43		Madonna -American Life (2003) American life? Hasn’t this mad bitch been living in Britland for about 10 years?! Communist-issued beret? Check! Smugly ironic album title? Check! Absurd use of Che Guevera’s legendary political struggle against capitalism to promote America’s most famous three-way lesbian kiss? Check! Crazy Kabbalah in tow? Check! Finish your chai latte, bitches, mad Madonna’s leading the charge!!
42		Chick Corea -The Leprechaun (1976) Looking back on it, Chick realized that LSD wasn’t for everyone. Chick now admits he doesn’t even know where the fuck Ireland is!
41		Bob Dylan -Saved (1980) God: “Bob, I free you from the chains of subtlety for a year or two.” Bob: “Thank you, Lord. How about irony?” God: “Yes, Bob. Irony, too.” Bob: “And the great songs and great lyrics” God: “Yap. That most of all!”
40		The Handsome Beasts Beastiality (1981) Despite the great lighting Oprah’s husband just wasn’t happy with her wedding photo! This is illegal in every State (except Texas!) Squeal like a pig … erm, pig !!
39		Kris Kross - Da Bomb (1993) In trying to avoid the sophomore jinx, it’s probably best not to title your second album “Da Bomb” or use cover art that shows the annihilation of the artist. Or maybe they were real prophets foretelling their own doom into speedy oblivion!
38		Tom Jones A-Tom-ic Jones (1966) What an awful title!. What an awful cover! Atomic? We like this about as much as the Polynesians liked the Frenchies detonating test Atomic bombs in their waters some years back!
37		The Beatles -Magical Mystery Tour (1967) Ringo: “Octopus. Bunny. Walrus. Chipmunk.” Paul: “Hey, I think Ringo’s got something!” George: “Bloody Brilliant Ringo! You’re a fooking genius” John: “! Let’s make a fooking movie!” All: “Hurrah … Hurrah!! First let’s have some nice afternoon tea with crumpets …. and a few nice colourful pills!
36		Joyce Drake – Joyce (1983) Joyce really thought she had talent. We blame Lilly Tomlin! Is this an LP of knitting instructions? Or maybe a tribute to James Joyce’s “Finnegan’s Wake!”?
35		Queen -The Miracle (1989) Four more reasons to nuke Queen or Queen fans! The Miracle is that anyone ever bought this crock or indeed any of Queen’s ghastly fucking LPs!
34		Devastatin’ Dave Zip Zap Rap (1986) [Single] Oh, hell no. This guy’s been Devestatin’ corneas and ear drums everywhere!
33		Ted Nugent -Scream Dream (1980) Loin cloth? Check! Guitars for arms? Check! Long, unruly hair? Check! Uncontrollable redneck rage? Check! Padded cell patient look? Check! Your ass is grass, Cat Stevens.
32		Swamp Dogg Rat On! (1971) Poor Swamp Dogg… First crabs. Now this! This nasty behaviour with giant rats is illegal in all States (except Texas!)
31		Prince -Prince (1979) Oh, HELL no! Scary on many levels! Almost as scary as the muzak!
30		Y Kant Tori Read Y Kant Tori Read (1988) Y Kant Tori Read? … well, kos she’s a stoopid kunt who thinks she’s Head Hun Kate Bush!! We all have skeletons in our closet. Tori’s was apparently dressed by a glamorous S&M pirate.
29		Kate Bush -Kate Bush (1983) [EP] The huns have arrived! And here she is. The Head Hun. Attila’s daughter! Look out! She takes no prisoners! … Arrrrrrr!!! First she takes out Y Kant Tori Read with an axe to the head! Nice work Katey! Nice hun boobies too!!
28		The Louvin Brothers Satan Is Real (1959) This is old-school, mofo gospel. The Louvin Brothers go medievel on Satan’s ghetto ass with a set of hardcore rhymes. Shiiiiiiit… The power of God compels you, bitches! Can we sue em for fraudulently saying Satan is real?
27		Elvis Presley -His Hand in Mine (1976) If anyone can try to look both sexy and reflective while floating in the light of God, or maybe just the sun, it’s Elvis. Props to the design team for cropping out the two teenagers giving the King a blowjob outside the burger joint.
26		Donny Osmond Disco Train (1976) Very sadly, Donny survived! Donny’ please try reshooting this wonderful pic soon! But this time with a much faster train! Much much faster!
25		Bee Gees -Life in a Tin Can (1973) Awww… that’s precious! I hope there’s room in there for drug addiction and poor album sales and oblivion! And giant fucking teeth!
24		Tino -Por primera vez (1983) [Single] Tino beat Ricky Martin to the punch. He also beat down Daisy Duke and stole her knickers. Que barbaridad, Tino!
23		Twisted Sister Stay Hungry (1984) Twisted Sister couldn’t take it anymore. And Tino looked really appetizing.
22		Whitney Houston – Whitney (1987) Photographer: “Welcome to Glamour Shots.” Whitney: “You got some nose candy?” Photographer: “Just call me Nabisco.” Whitney: “Shoop-Shoop! Ready for my closeup! .. Crack is wack folks. Crack is wack! (pass that pipe motherfucker .. puff, puff, puff … man that shit is good!)
21		The Frivolous Five Sour Cream & Other Delights (1966) This lot take the “sex” out of Sextegenerian! This is an LP Madonna and a few granny pals released last year!
20		Richard & Willie Funky Honkey, Nasty Nigger (1975) If MLK and the Freedom Movement had a significant message and influence, both Richard and Willie missed it!
19		Raffi -Raffi’s Christmas Album (1983) In celebration of lil baby Jesus‘s birth … Oh, just hide the children! Santa prowling around in long johns is illegal in all States (except Texas!)
18		The Coup -Party Music (Original Cover) (2001) This artwork defines good taste! Yes, that’s the World Trade Center exploding. And this cover was pulled before it hit the shelves. And, no, it’s not as bad as the cover of Cool as Ice.
17		Various Artists – Film Soundtracks 1990-94 Cool as Ice (1991) In music, as in life, your pants should not be the loudest thing for miles around … in this case, the loudest thing aside from the sound of a career crashing into a brick wall.
16		Khia -Thug Misses (2002) Khia wanted to start her career on the right knee … I mean foot! Khia was a lover of all things doggystyle and refused to ever walk upright!
15		Orleans -Waking and Dreaming (1976) Dreaming? This is a fucking nightmare! Straight out of San Fran in 76! “Group picture, everybody! Dear God, Chris, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times. Manscape! Manscape! Manscape!”
14		2 Live Crew -As Nasty as They Wanna Be (1989) Nice shot of four asses – and four strippers! R. Kelly and others were inspired by this album to engage in certain alleged notorious activities! Thank you, 2 Live Crew. Me so naughty …
13		Michael Bolton Michael Bolton (1983) “Can’t… pout… much… longer. Hair… starting… to… hurt.” A simply beautiful shot! One of the greatest pieces of art of the twentieth century! Well, maybe the twentieth century BC!
12		Village People -Renaissance (1981) The Renaissance was an age of enlightenment with unprecedented developments in thought, art, culture and science. The Village People made it pretty!
11		Butthole Surfers Electriclarryland (1996) What’s really frightening about this cover is that it ranks BELOW the next one.
10		David Hasselhoff Night Rocker (1985) The Age of Hasselhoff begins. Gentlemen, wring out your panties. This is still number one in Germany! “Ya vol!… We be lovin Herr Hasselhoff. Best thing since Adolf! Ya! Seig Heil!”
9		Manowar -Into Glory Ride (1983) A band of Conans! Manowar don the Loincloths of Victory and ride into battle… into glory… into Kate Bush, who decapitates them with her Hun army.
8		Cher -Take Me Home (1979) Having declared war on Kate Bush, Cher single-handedly slaughters the Hun army and defiles the bodies of Manowar before deftly reapplying her fake tan and some new silicone. Original title was “Take Me to the Old Folks Home“.
7		Michael Jackson -HIStory: Past, Present and Future – Book I (1995) Forget Kenny Loggins. Forget Yanni. This is the most pompous album cover in rock history. Michael: “Bow down before me!” McCauley: “But my knees still hurt!”
6		John Lennon & Yoko Ono Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins (1968) You could call this cover art a unique expression of freedom. But since the music is kinda shit, it’s just a REALLY bad decision.
5		Charles Manson -Lie (1970) A lovely album of beautiful sensitive love songs! Yap, love songs to carnage and to satan! Charlie wanted to follow in Joan Baez’s footsteps. Luckily, Joan outran the psychotic fucker.
4		Millie Jackson -Back to the S..t! (1990) We told you she’d be back! Here the mad bat gets scatty! Ewwwww! Wrong on so many levels! This stuff is illegal in all States (except Texas!)
3		The Rolling Stones -Dirty Work (1986) Embracing their new bright tasteless eighties look, the Stones take a joyride on South Beach and kill several Cuban drug lords. Later that day, Mick Jagger’s pants challenge Vanilla Ice’s pants to a scream-off. The Stones later run off to be detectives in Miami with 5 black sidekicks!
2		Scorpions -Virgin Killer [original cover prohibited at RYM] (1976) Germany’s finest resurface again like turds that won’t sink! All you need to know is that the uncensored version of this cover appears to depict a nude prepubescent girl with what appears to be a flash of light emitting from her vagina! We can’t say anything else about this insanity! This is illegal in all States (even Texas!)
1		Prince Lovesexy (1988) Prince’s 20th entry on the list! This is the uncensored rubbish cover for this rubbish LP. The cover’s simply horrific on every level! But, amazingly, the music was even worse!!
