Not a bad list but there are so many more , pretty sure we covered this before....but anyway http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/gallery ... s-pictures I'll add this one, sad to say I actually owned it..... 80s/90s Rock/Metal is of course a great source for this....

Here's a classic

Thanks, Queen. Not too disturbing.

What tops it all off is George's vicious smile. Like he's about to take a big healthy bite.

These things are just an exercise in pointless snark. And that Scorpions cover (as well as The White Album, which was clearly added just to raise outrage and draw web traffic) are both great record covers. Attila was so bad that the group was never heard from again, though the guy on the right had some success as a soloist.

What's most impressive is the worst cover of a record that you bought anyway.

It's like, how much more black could it be? And the answer, of course, is none. None more black.

George just walked in on Millie Prince probably wants to forget this one

Well, when I was a kid my parents and their friends would play comedy records at parties, and I would see this one show up once in a while. This guy called himself Tubby Boots, and one look at this cover gives you a pretty good idea of what his act must have been like.

"Wait, so again I'm striking it on my own after breaking up a very successful group? WHAT DID I JUST DO!" Also could be his mug shot from the Japan drug bust!

After such an out of nowhere start to his solo career, Ringo pretty much crashes and burns here, and the cover doesn't do him any favors

Nothing says "we are finishing out George's contract without his help" like this:

Not sure if I want to completely NSFW this thread, so here is the bagged version: Interesting thing, legend has it that when the first Beatle Festivals started up, where vendors set up shop and sold collectables and whatnot, John instructed May Pang to purchase every unbagged version of the record she could find. As well as go through second hand shops to do the same.

Some more good ones here. My personal favorite:

This one followed that up the charts:

For a great album... that's some serious pseudo-hallucinogenic cover-design chintz.
