The Twenty-Five Worst Album Covers of All Time
yahoo.com ^ | 9 29 11

Posted on 09/29/2011 4:04:34 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch

Inspired by the ugliness of the new Jane's Addiction album, The Great Escape Artist, we here at List Of The Day (ok, just me and a bunch of friends with great suggestions) compiled a bunch of lists of album covers that are, in the technical sense, awful.

The list below is one where real record companies were involved and artists who sold actual records were aware that the albums would go into the stores looking like this.

Fact is, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of terrible album covers. A web-search suggests that 90 percent of them come from religious artists who believe that competent artwork is akin to committing the sin of vanity.

Enjoy these album covers that dare you to enjoy the music held within its confines.

My uncle had a calender of her in the garage when I was a kid.

All it consisted of was her nekkid under a cellophane page of a teddy.

I never got tired of that calender....

“Teddie off, Teddie On.. Teddie off...”

She was way hotter than Marilyn Monroe

Who knew Geraldo Rivera was posing for album art back then?

The Ventures had a few memorable classics of their own.

Butt the best was the album that Elvis recorded with the Beatles.

("Nice beaver", says Ringo.)

I have that album. I love Leon Redbone. That’s one of my favorite albums. I admit I never got the cover, though.

That one looks to me like Steven Spielbergs original inspiration. Is that a spaceship descending? Either that, or madonna is on the ceiling, showing just one breast.

I actually sort of like the cover, in a cheesy way, sans the ceiling breast.
