I don't find # 39 bad, unless I'm missing something.

#29 is begging for the avatar treatment

I just thought of one that would qualify for such a list. Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver". '70s kitsch at its worst. The cover that is.

Here you go.

It also has interesting music. Some of it is used constantly in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

How about worst album cover for an album that actually is pretty damned good? I nominate:

I know he's sang before, but I wasn't aware that Kevin Spacey had an album out.

nice to see some in that list that are different than the usual "awful album covers" that gets passed around 10 times a year via e-mails...

What's wrong with "The White Album"?
It's a classic design.

Agreed! It's just as classic as this Spinal Tap favorite:

Yikes! I hate to think what he's gonna do with that flute. Then again, that could be what the album title means.

Talk about copycatting...

I dunno. As far as worst goes, not much beats Millie Jackson's BACK TO THE SHIT cover. Just plain tacky and gross.

"Get The Knack" by The Knack (1979)

maybe not the worst in rock history, but pretty bad all the same...

I liked the album, The cover? Thanks auto for giving us a picture my link got all mess-up.

Scorpions "Virgin Killer" is pretty much the worst album cover I've ever seen from a major band. Actually, the Scorps had a bunch of terrible covers...
