Quark Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 So @DiscothequeDave's comment in the New Music thread about the cover of the new Lemon Twigs album got me thinking...worst album covers of all time. Clearly there have been some horrors over the years. In the time to kill before the rumour mill really kicks off, do we have any contenders? I'll chuck this one into the ring because, well, look at it FFS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like it's been done by someone who's never seen or heard the band. Hard to look past this one for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatyeti24 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) i know it's easy just to search google images for this stuff - there's no shortage. but here's one that i remember coming out, no pun intended, about, what, 25 years ago and has haunted me ever since. edit - i just checked and it was released in 1999.

Mash011 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's more powerful I think when it's an artist people actually like and that Yeah Yeah Yeahs one really takes it. Just utterly baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Google search to kick start the thread, but be interesting to see any that people have from their own minds. I'd never seen the YYY one before or whatever the hell Gumby posted!

Fishman Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Scorpions had quite a good run at it though ... 1975 .... 1976 (clean version, still awful) ... 1977 (less awful, but still banned) ... 1979 ... 1980 ... Let's rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
