That is not a worst-album-cover list.

THIS is a worst-album-cover list!

How anyone can ever make fun of the man that gave us Secret Samadhi is beyond me.

I hate that band Live (sorry, I get your name). Not caring for Ed makes that album cover look a bit goofy. The Soundgarden one is awful.

I think maybe he is confusing Dire Straits with T&C Surf Designs.

Hell, I'm surprised that Pitchfork still exists.

Eh. The covers aren't that awful. A few are actually alright. Try designing a CD jacket and see how well you do.

Yeah, but some of these look like they were slapped together on a PC with almost no thought. And they are ugly as hell.

My brother-in-law did the artwork for the last Warlocks album:

Somewhat simple design, but interesting. I don't think it takes a huge amount of imagination to come up with something different and striking.

"In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement."
Brilliant. The Onion is spot-on as always.

2 yrs ago they played at my hometowns "riverfest". its a town of 18,000 and surrounded by corn fields. normally just bad cover bands play there.

I think the Kings of Leon one was kind of a cheap shot. While I don't like them either, there's nothing really that bad about the cover besides just being a bit boring, I guess.

One of the actual worst covers I've seen in a while, which of course made their "Best Albums" list:

That Gin Blossoms cover really is a monstrosity. Did Weezer reject it first?
