Worst album covers

**Janszoon** · 05-13-2009, 08:43 AM

I looked around and I don't think we have a thread specifically for posting the worst album covers you can think of. Clearly we need one because just yesterday I was reminded of one of the worst album covers I've ever seen. I mean honestly who looks at something like this and says "Yes! This is exactly what I want to be the public face of my new album!"?

Obligatory.

I'm pretty sure we had one at some point.

IMO the band with the worst album covers ever is Birth Control. They're just plain disgusting.

I did a search and didn't find one.

Well anywho.

Nothing sums up the state of prog in the late 70s better than the horrifying picture I'm about to show you.

The coming of the 80s was a time when every prog band had to reinvent themselves. Some like Yes and Genesis were successful at making the pop crossover... others were not so fortunate.

How long were they stranded on that island before they were rescued?

Beats me.

It's sad to think that album actually went gold.

And Keith Emerson. Is there a picture anywhere of that guy NOT looking like a registered sex offender?

Probably not.
