I'd post a pic, but it would make this thread NSFW.

Dude, there's a high-heel stepping on a man's balls up there. GO FOR IT.

This one always made me retch just a little:

That Bloodhound Gang one:

Bad, but nowhere near the high heels on scrotum.

The woman's foot is quite veiny and scrotumy, I think.

I notice this is missing from Brent's list (and this thread unless it's one of the red x's)

I'm not sure if this is a defence for the Bob Dylan album but...

That BSS cover isn't so much bad as yawnsomely generic.

I quite liked the Pitchfork feature today on this topic :)

― Acid house girls and flowers (fandango), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Doesn't compare to the worst ones here, but the new My Morning Jacket cover is really bad:

When I think bad album covers, I think Return to Forever:

For some reason Levitate looks horrible to me while You Are Missing Winner has the opposite effect. The former almost looks like it should be a mid-90's grunge-metal album.

― telephone thing, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

Why are so many choosing fantasy-esque covers? I like that stuff!

― Patrick South (Patrick South), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

Charlie Daniels Band's "Saddle Tramp" is so bad it's good.
If you stare at it long enough you can see the face of God.

Anyone seen the hardback coffee table verion of this? Truly one of the most insipid objects you could possibly imagine. Erlewine gave this three stars.

― MESTEMA (davidcorp), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

Limp Bizkit
Cranberries

OTM

Oh, hell no! You did not just put the "Avant Hard" cover on this list!

I think that Chester Beatty cover is great! Also, I suspect it's parodying nineties rave/handbag/happy hardcore compilations with similar motifs.

The Pitchfork article on worst album covers led me to this band called Nantucke. Here are all their album covers in chronological order:

http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve1.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve4.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve3.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve2.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve6.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve7.jpg
http://www.2112online.com/nantucket/images/sleeve5.jpg

I can imagine the band holding a meeting after the second LP was released...

"Hmm, it looks like the album didn't sell quite as much as the first one, even with the sublime idea of a cover we had."

"Maybe the public just wasn't ready for it..."

"Hey, I know! Why don't we make the jeans-wearing crab in the first LP our mascot? Kinda like Iron Maiden has that troll thing."

"My god, that's brilliant! They'll love it!"

nine months pass...

I have an unabiding fury directed at this cover, mostly because of the soused hippie in the middle.

that HEAVEN 17 (up there in 2002) cover is really something.

two things: the ege bamyasi album cover is awesome and it's a lobster not a crab on the nantucket album, come on people
