This one disappeared on OP

Peter Hammill The Future Now album cover


But as for awfully bad taste I hate Indelibly Stamped as its so arrogant


but Hinten is dreadful along with Yo Ho Wa and the monkey with the banana

Gotta vote for Hinten as its so ridiculous and funnny

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

Missus Beastly - s/t. Surely, there are some dismal ones, horrifying ones, which is something I would expect in a horror culture. Some are just f$%king ridiculous to a pathetic degree, but they are not as conspicuously bad as this MB one ... just downright inappropriate wrong. Hurts my eyes. I'm surprised I could even look at it a couple of times for a few seconds without even looking away. Really pretentious (look that word up in Merriam-Webster).

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.

^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

That Birth Control art is actually awesome.

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