Anyone got any suggestions for this topic

I'll start with one I actually own (which pains me to admit). The sleeve looks like is was drawn by Joey Deacon.....

Great album, never liked the cover...

this must surely win a price?

Take Your Pick

But this one makes me wish my eyes would melt:

AKA "What the f**k were they thinking ?!"

Please note : these are all albums I like very much. Otherwise what's the point ?

excellent find.

This is one wins hands down:

I don't think so just because this was no accident. They seem to try incredibly hard to be the worst, most despicable band on Earth. I'm not going to encourage that.
A deliberately ugly cover has very little value in my eyes.

Also:

oh come on Badlander, how should I know, that Manowars cover is not serious while Ice Ts is meant to be serious?

If I have to choose one from my own collection, it'll be this one:



@smiscandlon: I find them cute.

Top album.
s**t cover.

And I've got it on vinyl so it's even bigger.

Always found this one butt-ugly:

You actually have a copy of the album where that's the cover instead of the skulls? That's a rarity, considering it caused controversy and was therefore hidden in the center of the book for the majority of albums.

I have it too!

And I will NEVER part with it...

Look real close :


All men play on 10 ? I don't think so.


Real men play on 11 !!!


10 is for sissies.

Having said that, what was the last time the Girls played on 10 ?

Us Rock n Roll Grannies (IZ and myself I mean) buy records before some pc-arsehole bans them.
I have the Dead Kennedys Frankenchrist (with the Giger Poster) too, teh-he.

But unlike IZ, I'm not intending to take them into the grave....

Kid's pictures are cute when taped to the fridge door, not on album covers.

I wouldn't want to watch a film made by a 5-year old. I wouldn't want to listen to an album mixed by a 5-year old. So why would I want to look at cover art drawn by a 5-year old?

great sounds, shocking sleeve

possible contender for a stupid album cover

The thing is, it's sometimes difficult to know which ones are supposed to be ridiculous and are done tongue-in-cheek, as opposed to ones that are done without the slightest hint of irony.

I prefer to know where I stand.

This one is about as disgusting as the music inside:



Bad sleeves on music I do like: most of Genesis' cover-art is quite boring Not too fond of the Chameleons their sleeves either...

Yip. I also have the Bodycount CD WITH 'Cop Killer' hehe

IZ.

another one to file under : Great sounds, shocking sleeve

I'll admit I don't have this (although we do have a gay rabbit that tries to hump our three cats, but that's another story) but it's gotta go on here!

oh yeah. hihihi. we played Cop Killer in our car in LA to annoy the cops next to us (we didnt know that it was SUCH an issue over there).

Then we had to get all girly and innocent. We pretended to not understand the lyrics and got away with it. But how pissed they were.
