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.

You succeeded. Good work Tom. You are one of the couple of dozen here longer than me.

OK I can't compete with any of those bizzaro album covers! I was going to post this cover, which was hastily made by the record company, after the uproar over the original cover.

The totally lame quickie replacement:

The original cover can't be posted, here's a link.

Wikipedia has an entry about the controversy.

At 16, it seemed sooo awesome. Now... a bit more gay.

I have that Niemen album. Fantastic album (even if you don’t know Polish, his vocals were incredible).
