For some reason, I've found two of these on the same day, from two different places. So, I took it as a sign.

Between the two of them (and there must be others), there are some devastatingly bad album covers out there.

Enjoy!

One of the best Album/song names Ive ever seen was "You broke my heart so I busted your jaw"

Dang, the first three keep disappearing. If you right click on them, then view image, they still work.

Plenty more where those came from.

That would be from the related topic "Worst Country Songs Ever?"

I've got a recording from around 1954 of Elvis making that joke at a live concert. Something like "You broke my heart when you went away, and if you come back I'll break your neck".

I always hated that 'Red X' album cover myself.

Those are all terrible (talk about a disincentive to purchase something), but The Braillettes was pretty bad. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy made horrible records; I wonder if their album covers were bad too?

Two words Poppy Family, Seasons in the Sun.

Worst album and worst cover.

What do I win?

Here's the most prolific bad-album-cover gallery I've seen so far:

This one needs to go in the pantheon!

[truthkeeper]

"We've got joy, we've got fun, we've got seasons in the sun..."

[Cecily]

This one is hilarious. He "loves his life," yet look at the expression on his face.

[Clemenza]

Classy lady.

[cicero's_son]

You beat me to the punch!

That is my personal all time favorite album cover!!!

[fortunecookie]

Any album that features either of these two, shrill women:

Amazing what a little airbrushing can do...

[fortunecookie]

Ping. I'm sure you can think of a few...

[somemoreequalthanothers]

Hell, Shatner has a song out right now, I hear it on XM Radio.

[P.O.E.]

The people on one of the albums I know from my hometown. Nice people. I really don't think the album cover is that bad.

I miss the big ole album jackets. Good reading, pics of the band, etc. A thing of the past.
