After a long time in the works, here's my run down of bad album covers. It's not so much mad/weird forgotten records from the midst of time, because I like those, but covers to records by well known artistes which are just.. wrong.
Here goes (I hope the images work out);
Whoever decided this would be a good image to put on the front of a Black Sabbath album should be beaten to death. Unless it was the band, in which case they’re excused.
clapton, you CUNT!
Ditto.
Pentangle had some of coolest weirdy folky cover art of the 70s, so what’s the obvious choice for the cover of this ‘best of..’ CD? How about a totally lazy photoshop job that makes them look like a third rate brit-pop band!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD – NO!
About the most rocking album I’ve heard in my life, but you certainly wouldn’t know it from the cover, which isn’t exactly a design classic…
Again, great album, but.. he looks like a Radio Cornwall DJ or something for christ’s sake… Actually, no, the more I look at this photo the more I see the barely concealed insanity, and the more of a great cover it becomes – a very striking image – respect is due. But I’ll leave it in this list anyway.
Not a classic. There's a waaay worse Procal Harum one, but I couldn't find it..
Not meant in any way to antagonise Barbelith’s Marillion fanbase (please don't hurt me!), but simply to say – this is a pretty grim record cover, especially considering the cool craziness of some of their other ones.
And finally, cos I think I’ve already spent too much time on this, my number one bad album cover;
YUCK! |
