In the last few years, Vinyl has experienced a massive resurgence.

It accounted for 9.7 million album sales in 2018, thanks, begrudgingly, to what NPR called the "Hipsterfication of America." While the sales can mainly be attributed to classics like Michael Jackson's Thriller and The Beatles' Abbey Road, it seems fitting to pay homage to the records that gave us Millennial's a "thunder down under" and kickstarted our sexual awakenings.

The racy nature of the album covers below sparked cultural phenomenons. Let's dive into the birth of the "Parental Warning" and revisit the album that turned whipped cream from a mere dessert topping into something much more. These are some of the most risque records in history.

Minaj's big return album has spurred plenty of controversy, but the album cover is definitely the sexiest in Barbie's discography. She is like a sexy Pharoah, with nothing but jewels and diamonds covering her body. It's not exactly "risque" by 2018 standards, but is still a fierce look for one of Hip-Hop's sexiest emcee's.
