#308 The Best Album of 1989, Round 1 Match #62: The Pogues vs. Nomeansno

Hey folks!

First pic: A sepia-toned photo of a young white boxer, facing the camera, in boxing pose but no boxing gloves. He has short dark hair and wears only boxer shorts. The photo looks as if it's from the 40s or 50s. He has "Peace" and "Love" tattooed on his fingers. This means his one fist was photoshopped to add a fifth finger (sixth appendage). Second pic: What looks like a photo, that has been photocopied as to render black and white and reduce details, of a man wearing a cow or goat mask. He wears a black shirt that is buttoned all the way up, covering the throat and neck.
