January 6, 2009, 15 years ago
MEGADETH's Youthanasia has made the Top 10 List of Misspelled Albums of All Time. Entitled 10 Horribly Misspelled Album Titles (And Why We Like ‘Em!), the list, written by Adam K. Raymond on the blog Mental Floss caught the eye of Prefix magazine’s Tony Sclafani who commented, “People have been keeping lists of their favourite misspelled band names since the day THE BEATLES decided to substitute an “a” for an “e” in their moniker.”
About the Megadeth inclusion: "Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, not generally known as international child advocates, used the title of their sixth album to make the point that kids worldwide are being exploited. But you knew that. What you might not have known: the album was banned in Singapore and Malaysia because of the “offensive” art work. Ever the rebel, Mustaine refused to cave in to demands to censor it, saying, 'Keeping our records off the shelves does not make the problem of our children being hung out to dry disappear.'”
