So, what are the worst album covers you know?

I'm pretty sure, that we all can agree that this one sucks:

Also I think that this one is pretty horrible (the album itself is good).

The Scorpions one.

...You know the one I'm talking about.

Also, I have no problem with the Dance of Death cover.

Yeah, I went there, but to clarify something - my bitch is ONLY about the front cover, not the gatefold.

Yeah, I went there.

I love this cover. I imagine myself exploring a deep forest, stumbling upon an abandoned house in a clearing. I walk in to investigate, and there's nothing inside...nothing but this picture hanging on the wall. I ponder what it could mean before leaving.

It's an old dude carrying kindling. Not much to it.

@Ruba: I agree on DoD, but the ministry one is quite cool, actually. The original DoD cover, however, kicks serious amounts of ass.

@LLTWM: Oh my god, why am I laughing so hard?

So you can post something NSFW here?

Anyway, LLTWM is currently winning

I'm not gonna post the original cover to Virgin Killer by Scorpions, but trust me, that wins this competition running away.

wolfking · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2012, 06:06:02 AM »

IMO, that duck terminator one is quite incrededible, never heard of the bad though. as for this, I don't know wether it's the worst cover in the world or the best cover in the world;

Scorpion · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2012, 06:15:35 AM »

Dude, it's clearly the best cover ever created.

What's so bad about it? Isn't it just a picture of a young, nude girl? Some people might consider that tasteless, but I wouldn't say that that necessarily constitutes as it being a bad cover - IIRC, it was nothing special, neither good nor bad, except for the shock bonus.

Nekov · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2012, 06:16:23 AM »

I didn't post any Manowar because I thought it was accepted that they have the worst covers

Don't get what's bad about Death Magnetic.

It looks like the female genitalia, and not in a good way.

Didn't think I would be the first to post this...

Zantera · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2012, 07:38:47 AM »

ADTOE doesn't actually bother me that much. It's not the prettiest cover, but I enjoy the colors in it. Pretty random though.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2012, 08:10:22 AM »

Dont know who Millie Jackson is, but thats a pretty funny cover. I also dont mind that Maiden cover; its far from their best though. I have that Manowar best of- its pure cheese no question.

Love the band and the album itself though... but seriously, awful cover.

Cruithne · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2012, 08:17:21 AM »

...and I have mixed feelings about Rush's Hemispheres cover. I like the idea, but could they not have covered up the backside of the naked dude?

The Scorpions one.

You mean... all of them? Because they are all terrible.

In b4 Country Church

The Yes Album cover is pretty awful

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #27 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:21:36 AM »

No! You can't touch "him"

Seems to be a theme developing here

Hey, you axed to see the worst album covers

And you should be too, by now at least

Nekov · « **Reply #28 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:23:51 AM »

Dark Castle · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:40:11 AM »

I swear, if I see any John Baizley artwork in here, heads will start rolling!

Carry on folks.

Holy crap, I stared at this one for minutes, trying to figure out why it looked familiar.

Then, it occurred to me... isn't there a DT photoshop of this one floating around?!?

I posted it in the Post Your Pic thread as a response to this:

but that might not be what you are talking about.

Gentle Giant's Acquiring the Taste. Awesome album, but misguided and lame cover.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2012, 03:11:08 PM »

When I saw this cover I knew I was in for trouble. And I was right.

Indeed. After you go from a cover like the one from (The original) Leitmotif, El Cielo, or TPTPTD to this, you could guess things were up to no good.
