The Twenty-Five Worst Album Covers of All Time

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’ve seen far worse than what this guy has come up with. Once found a web site devoted to terrible album covers and those just blew all of these away.

Lost the bookmark to that sit though.

I don't know whether this one belongs in the Twenty-Five Best Album Covers, or the 25-Worst.

On that site is the “Ethel Merman Disco Album”. I think my brain just puked.

If you go into independent and smaller releases territory, you can get absolutely the most horrid covers. Most of those are either corny strange religious or creepy weird perverse. Try this one:

This one deserves a special mention:

One of the greatest albums ever recorded packaged in one of the worst album covers of all time.

If anyone starts a "25 BEST" list, I want to put this one on it. Always loved it.

That must have been the inspiration for the Randy Newman song.
