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.

I predict a Long Playing thread.

It's hard to disagree, but then there are those Elvis covers, including the duets album he recorded with Brbra.

I sent out my personal “We have a winner” post too soon. That site definitely has the worst of the worst. The one with the elephants in wigs looked interesting I must say.....

Great list and well done. Those were some ugly times and ugly albums— a veritable freak show.

If you go into independent and smaller releases territory, you can get absolutely the most horrid covers. Yes, however, the article linked for THIS thread disqualifies all those. It sets as criteria: "The list below is one where real record companies were involved and artists who sold actual records. . . ."
We had a long "worst album covers" thread, but that was mostly the small obscure stuff. Here the challenge involves more mainstream albums.

I don't know about worst, but this one wins my nomination for most bizzare:

Yep, that one's pretty bad. And to think that the guy in the middle is a recent former congressman.
