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.

Take a close look at the left side of the album cover ... starting from the "tree" in the upper left ... and tell me what you see ...

You think the Pat Boone album cover is gay?

You should hear is rendition of such classic metal songs as:

Deep Purple’s Smoke On the Water
Guns N Roses’ Paradise City
Metallica’s Enter Sandman
Alice Cooper’s No More Mr. Nice Guy
Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven

and my favorite,

Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train

"...Pat Boone...You should hear is rendition of such classic metal songs as:"

Nothing can compare to William Shatner doing "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" - it's even better than you could ever imagine.

This is the album cover that set the standard

My dad had that one... I don't think I ever listened to it, but I certainly remember it.

Don’t forget that he also did Van Halen’s “Panama”.

I honestly thought I was going to throw up.

I don’t either. She still has her head attached, for one thing. And she’s not a man, baby!
