Personally I like the National Health cover BTW. The Hammill cover is not bad, I think.
But for the rest: incredible, what a collection of bad covers. ShockedLOL

That Birth Control art is actually awesome.

I'm of the opinion that Hinten's badness is without peer.

That Eulynspigel cover was changed after they sold about 7,000 copies. They just took out the dead chick, so yeah still tasteless.
Never liked that Missing Link cover. It's just poor. Omega's is lame to say the least. Disturbing would go to Guru Guru.LOL
Worst one for me though is Supertramp's cover. Never liked it. My favourite is Catapilla's. Great record too.
Can't understand why the 'Catapilla' cover is included here ??  The LP is a gatefold, with a die-cut front (it's outline is the caterpillar eating the silverbeet) - clever and humourous Big smile.
 
It's the one cover that doesn't seem to belong. I'm guessing that David just has it in for caterpillars. Maybe he was attacked by one.LOL
LOL - or maybe he just doesn't like silverbeet..........Sick


You guys have to go sit in the corner now.................and no tv after dinner! 
We're having baked caterpillars with exploded beetsTongue 
Hey, if that's what's on the menu, how about no dinner after TV ?!!

That's one of my favouritesLOL Like in I like it....

^You know, there's really no rules attached to the voting, so you can choose the one you think's A) the funniest B) The most ugly/revolting/obscene/you name it, or simply C) the one you like the bestSmile

The Supertramp one is the worst here, IMO.

Some of these I like very much. Hinten, Savage Sons of Ya Ho Wa and especially Operation. It's so disturbing! Love it! It gets my vote.
