All Time Worst Rock Album Cover

It really is ugly. Horrible. Stupid.
I didn't know who it was either.
It also gives no clue as to what type of music it is.
For someone who is known to be "creative", it's not very creative.

 

I really like her second album, but almost everything since then has just been weird.

 

The best word I can use to describe it is "tacky". The worst word? Just look at the cover. It's right there in your face.

 

From the 1974 tour? Probably not - Bowie's arguably the coolest-looking rock star ever, but 1974 was NOT a high point!

 

surprised Virgin Killer wasn't on page 1

 

Maybe because that would have ended the thread right from the start.

 

Not looking for bad, looking for WORST!!!!

 

I always hated the cardboard box cover of Alice Cooper’s Muscle of Love. It’s ugly and as far as I’m concerned doesn’t even count as a proper cover, it’s so bad. It’s like they didn’t even try.

 

album title: I Smell Farts

 

Shirley, you cant be serious.

 

I actually found the whole thing pretty enjoyable

 

Crazy Horse, self titled:

 

Came to say basically this but am quoting to add that (my memory of) St Vincent worked pretty hard to avoid capitalizing on her physical merits and to let her music speak for itself. I like the change (if that is what it is) and also everything that Terrapin Station said.

 

I agree. The whole thing is very amateur. Worse than David Live.

 

KKK can Rock...!!

 

Anthrax ‎– Fistful Of Metal

 

Dylan 1973

 

Looks like Willem DaFoe on lead vocals:

 

Yes, let's force fit the text in the available areas. It's OK if these black letters have a black background, and no need
to center the red text in it's area or even enlarge it. Let's throw a star and a circle in there too 'cause I can't think of anything else to do.

 

Lots of horrible Stones LP covers.

Grrr 2012
No Security 1998
Dirty Work 1986
Heartbreakers 1982 Japan & Holland
Metamorphosis 1975
Oldies But Goodies 1973 Japan. WT?
Rock n Rolling Stones 1972
Stone Age 1971

The winner?

Get Stoned 1977 UK & Holland
(Cover looks like a set of dentures!)

 

Doesn't look like Godzilla to me.

 

JoJo Gunne - Jumpin The Gun contributed to the albums poor sales in 1973

 

I see the reference to “penitents” on the cover, which leads me to think this has nothing to do with the KKK and everything to do with a reference to Catholic Spain’s red-hooded penitential guilds, which predate the KKK by centuries.
