Brilliant albums with horrible album covers

That would be a good assumption.

 

It almost put me off buying the album.

On some episode of ' Pawn Stars ' Rick Harrison bought a replica of whatever-the-hell that object was on the album cover. I think it was a limited series or something or other. In any event he paid a lot of money for it.

 

Just thought of a few more

 

Terrible album cover.
They should have used the picture of the actual goat's head soup that was on the enclosed poster.
That would have been a great cover !

 

I've never minded the Presence album cover,some of the outtakes in the deluxe edition would have made some good album covers too.

 

Richard Thompson Starring as Henry the Human Fly

 

Awww, they are both excellent covers.

 

Not that crazy about Presence either lol

 

'The Object" saw that one a few weeks ago

 

Maybe this album should have been titled Deja Vous?

 

Birth Control's brilliant 'Operation.' The German release was a gatefold with a baby-eating creature on the front and a trail of dead mothers who've had abortions on the back. The inside of the gatefold had a drawing of the four band members as part of the creature/machine, each eating a baby. The UK cover was pretty tasteless too (an early Hipgnosis effort).

This seems so obvious to me...

 

I totally agree sir, well said!

 

When this album came out, no one had done a cover like this. And maybe not since.

 

Trying...and succeeding!

REM had their share of boring or ugly covers..
Automatic for the people, Out of time... brilliant albums

 

Just for laughs.

 

I agree with Out Of Time. I have used this one since I first got it.

 

Yes it's a brilliant album. "All I wanna do"... What a sound! It sounds so advanced

 

This one is more acceptable

 

And so it is...but my favourite Who album cover and one of the greatest album covers of all is' Quadrophenia '.
And the icing on the cake with that one is the Who members pictures in the motorcycle mirrors. Great !

 

LOL
Is this a brilliant album?

 

Nonsense. Raw Power is perfect in every way. Fate decreed it.
