Ok, for this one I thought I'd do things a little different 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 people  Here are the contestants:    (sorry I couldn't find a smaller one with the right colours  )                      ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Worst?: It's between Guru Guru and Omega for me. Voted Omega, because. I actually like: Birth Control - Operation Eeeet da bebehs!!! Panta Rei - Panta Rei A tad creepy. Pôle - Rizet So daggy and retro that it's actually cool in its own way. What kind of music is contained within? Samla Mammas Manna - Måltid Hey one I've actually heard! Yeah, I like the cover Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention - Weasels Ripped My Flesh Another one I've heard! The album art is a decent parody of that magazine cover or whatever it was. Eulenspygel - 2 I've seen this one on a few "worst album covers" lists. I think the cover art is really good, but that's just me. Very strange. Makes me wanna check out the album some time. National Health - National Health Slightly an "odd one out" inclusion to me but I guess I can understand if someone would find it a bit lame. I personally like the cover. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

Like I said, you're free to vote on whatever grounds you find adequate A lot of these I happen to like myself. The Operation art work is great - so is Nevergreen! and Måltid and Eulenspygel. Yep I could literally go on and on The music you'll find in that Rizet album is a blend of electronic experimentations, psych and avant-guarde. It bears absolutely no connotations to the cover art. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I actually like the Catipilla, Birth Control, Eulenspygel, Octopus and Peter Hammill covers listed here. Fireballet gets the nod for worst of the bunch here, and there are some bad ones. Finally, I don't know quite what to think of The Lovers. Never quite saw a cover like it (except on DVDs in the back of the videoshop). ------------- PROGMATIC |

| Dave, there sure sre some real shockers in this lot - I only have 10 of these titles - I would say I can't stand the cover to Brainstorm's 'Smile A While' - I just don't dig blokes dressing up as women, not even in fun - just doesn't sit well with me. The music is awesome though. However, one of the most pointless covers I've ever seen is the 'Hawklords' album - the one with the grey cover with pink writing. Bizarre. |

Some of them are just tasteless but professional, while some other look bland and unprofessiona. And, frankly, the cover for Omega's album looks like it had been made by a band from an obscure suburb in Kansas, with a very, very low budget, shooting their group picture in a 2 dollar photo studio! Fireballet and Brainstorm hadn't put great efforts in their coverart, but they tried something. It's goofy, but Omega just looks like they hastily paste a promotional picture on an astrological map from their school book! I was also close to vote for Acid Mothers Temple, whose cover seems to be made with Photoshop in one (1) minute! |

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! |

Voted for Fireballet, not only because the art was so awful but the album within betrayed the great prog they released on "Night on Bald Mountain"... OTOH, I've always loved the covers for "The Future Now" and "Weasels Ripped my Flesh"... ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

That Ya Ho Wa was quite horrible, but I still went with AMT. That's mainly because their discography is filled with these nude women and horrible photo-shopping. Just look at Wild Gals A-Go-Go or Pink Lady Lemonade, those are just horrible.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this one and it is very simple, and one of his next albums clarifies it even more ... "SKIN" ... basically this is Peter ... no ideas ... naked and straight ... that's all there is to it, and nothing to hide, and his lyrics and solo work has always been like that! It's a very withit cover, all things considered, but we're jaded ... we want to see a nekkid grllll!

Hi, No vote. I would rather vote worst cover to something like Abbey Road, than one of these ... why? ... these have some humor in it, and the other is just an intentional inner joke that has nothing to do with the music, except that the folks doing it, have a bit of an ego, and love to show off and make you think that somethings are more important than others! "Hinten" is interesting, and the cover fits the concept ... rock'n'roll at its "raw'est" and no one will argue the music in there ... or worse ... most folks here won't listen to it, because it doesn't have keyboards! Not progressive! Fireballet, I remember when it came out and I laughed hard ... and the first thing I said was ... the music must be as bad as the outfits! Good gawd, even Misha looked better than that! So you knew the music was not serious or important! You guys forgot Diamond Dogs!

Wow there are some tasteless, lame and disturbing covers here. 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. Worst one for me though is Supertramp's cover. Never liked it.

The Future Now.
I remember being impressed with that sleeve art when it was released, even though I didn't know who Peter Hammill was at the time. I wanted to have facial hair like that. In the last 25+ years I've had various daft facial hair arrangements, but still never done the Future Now one. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

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 cover The music is very good though. I really dig it: ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

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.

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