What are the ugliest album covers that you know?

I know a lot of them, but for now i'll choose this one:

Chico Buarque - As Cidades (1998)

 

I LOVE The Beatles, but, I will NEVER understand what they were thinking with this sick cover?

Black Sabbath in 3...2...1...

 

This one is pretty unappealing. The music is quite good though;

 

Looks like somebody's been blowin' some horn!

 

Someone here must own some Heino.

 

scorpions: animal magnetism or Virgin killer

 

Alright, that cover may beat my post #2, but only by a toilet roll! I don't even want to know what Millie has in mind, holding that shoe in her hand, but I fear a cleanup soon in stall #1?

 

Great LP this, shame about the unphotogenic blokes in the band?

 

I've always liked that "Animal Magnetism" cover, as it just says "something different is happening inside"! Clearly of one Hipnosis' best covers, IMO!

Yes Tormado has to be the worst.

 

Fleetwood Mac's Mystery to Me. Ugly and hideous as well as stupid and nonsensical . It's a mystery to me how this was approved by the art department.

 

I prefer that cover to the one that replaced it!

 

These guys don't look pleased. Especially the guy on the right, who refused to go totally topless and looks to be about ready to bolt as soon as he hears the click of the camera....

 

The '90s alt-rock boom produced a lot of them - here are the first couple to come to mind...

Dig - s/t debut album


The cover of Sweet Sixteen by Royal Trux almost triggers my gag reflex, so to protect you even more delicate souls I'll just link to it here - be warned, it involves a congested toilet.

 

This is the worst. It was a big album so I often see it second hand.

 

One of the funniest covers of all time! Lol.

 

You are the winner,this is not ugly,it's the nastiest cover period!.

 

Looks like normal looking guys to me.

 

Blue Öyster Cult's "Heaven Forbid".

 

I love "Trout Mask Replica"!!!!!!


I'd say Gentle Giant's "Acquiring the Tase". Man, that is a WONDERFUL album, but does the cover suck or what?
