Post by: CactusRob on September 17, 2008, 08:41:19 AM: I thought Sweet Comfort Band's Hearts on Fire cover was very cool (feels like St. George and the Dragon). It wraps around the album. I was unable to find the complete front and back cover. If anyone here is able to find the complete art, please share.

Post by: Lampy on September 17, 2008, 09:35:49 PM: Minutes To Midnight - Linkin Park
Testify - P.O.D.
Five Score And Seven Years Ago - Relient K.

Those are my thoughts.

The problem with being a child of the 80's is that I read that title and think of this instead:

Post by: MrMiYoda on September 17, 2008, 10:43:58 PM: Schaef, you were probably about 6 when I watched this movie as a senior who just grad from school. It's soundtrack has been an everlasting fav of mine. What do you think? Should you split this topic to form an "inspirational movie-based MTV" thread?

Post by: The Schaef on September 17, 2008, 11:28:46 PM: At least that's an album cover. We still have a faint hope of keeping this thread on topic.

I have this album btw, it is a testament to the days of hair metal :)
