Worst Album Covers Pt. ??? (NSFW)
I know this topic has been posted repeatedly, but didn't see it lately. People can just pass on it, mods can delete it, or someone can merge it with an existing thread, but I just saw this link on Yahoo.
I thought it would just be a rehash...and some of them are familiar & make the "worst cover" rounds...but there were many jaw-dropping ones I hadn't seen that were just beyond all pretense to good taste. It starts out mildly offensive but regresses to....hard to describe.
So apologies if these have been posted repeatedly, but here they are (have to click to advance to each cover, but it's worth it...sort of):

Some grotesquely bad-taste stuff in there. Where's the one with the guy sitting at a restaurant table with his daughter/date? John Bulty? Something like that.
I would add Gary Wright's Dreamweaver. I like some of the music on the album, especially the classic title song, but the cover is the ultimate in '70 kitsch. What was he thinking with this?

Going through the list creek posted and Back To The Shit was #3. Should have know.
This one is on the list and it always freaked me out when I was a kid.

That link is everything that's wrong with the internet. How about Worst Web Design of all time thread? What the fuck?

Not on the list, but this is one of my favorites:
It looks like the stock photo on an old pack of condoms.

Tin Machine II is a good one (go find it yourself). It even won Spin magazine's "Truth in Advertising" award. Four dicks on the outside, four dicks on the inside.

Holy shit, is that for real? Did Ted not see This is Spinal Tap?
As for some of the others, I always get a little excited when I'm digging through albums at a thrift store and start finding some Millie Jackson. But it's never the coveted "Back to the Shit" LP.

I have this art associated with my Spinal Tap soundtrack mp3s.

Speaking of Nazareth, I always found this image funny.
Far be it from me to criticize a master like Frazetta, but there's a huge problem with that painting. Once you notice it, you can't unsee it.
