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

I even still can't figure out what is wrong with the cover. Just a bunch of dudes with a kid sitting 'round a bed, doing stuff on it. What's so insanely bad about it? Is playing chess and making cups of tea on it supposed to be viciously unsanitary?

Nick, I strongly suggest you check out the late 80's Van Damme flick `Cyborg', where he takes on these futuristic pirates! About 30 mins in JCVD's companion takes her top off, and I kid you not, you'll be screaming at the screen for her to put it back on. Now, I'm not some guy with massive expectations on how a lady should look, I appreciate the female form in all shapes and sizes, but it just wasn't a good idea here!

Oh, and for my vote, probably Brainstorm's drag-tastic `Smile A While' cover gets my tick here, luckily the album is a total knockout!




Yup. Saw that movie. The main villain is really cool in it, but those breasts are not!!! Omg they look like lung warts. I remember that.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Can't let this thread fall off the front page just yet.......
There is an Atomic Rooster album with the cover of a ciggie stumped out in the yolk of a fried egg - it's hideous.  The album is 'Nice And Greasy' - so when the opportunity arose to purchase the U.S. version (entitled 'IV') with a much better artwork - and 2 different tracks..........needless to say.............

There are two cats! There's one his shoulder as well. How does that saying go? A cat on the knee and shoulder keeps the doctor away?
Somebody on YouTube described the album as the perfect present for a woman - a dick in a box, which in all fairness is a pretty darn good description of that coverLOL

The music is very good though. I really dig it:

This confused me as I thought Panta Rei was the Hungarian Band who did the 'Bartok' album - liked the music though.

I've always liked that Samla album cover. It's so mundane. It's just a snapshot of some old couple sitting on a bench. Actually a painting of a snapshot of an old couple sitting on a bench. But that bench isn't anywhere around here. And what is in that bag? Whatever it is he doesn't want to see it. Please don't take that thing out again. 

So I voted for it.

In light of my recent fetish for art works, I thought I'd nudge this little teddy.

I have a thing for overt bad taste cover arts, so here I've gathered 25. 

Tricky thing about the poll though, is that do you vote for the one you find the most funny, ugly - or both? Or the one you like the most? 
You choose peopleTongue

Here are the contestants:

What, no White Album? And the Peter Hammill example earlier happens to be my favorite of his.
