One for the music aficionados, anybody got any of these in their collection?

I've got 6 or 7 of them.

    I'm not surprised they feature the infamous Beatles "Butcher" cover.

    I am surprised that they don't feature the Moody Blues' "In Search of the Lost Chord" -- that one was horrendous in both senses; whoever designed it must have done some bad acid.

    I've only got one of 'em.

    Sabotage.

    And it's on vinyl. Never got round to getting the cd.
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.

    got none of those.

    i think the two worst album covers i own are a very early kid rock album, and a man'o'war album.

    The White Album should be on there.

    Atom Heart Mother. Now that's a bad cover.

    I love Pink Floyd's album covers, but i never understood why Storm Thorgerson thought a cow would be perfect for the band.

    I guess it's a joke you can only get when you're stoned.

    I've got some of the particularly bad Manowar ones. To be fair to them they had some pretty cool album covers from Kings of Metal.

    The worst one I ever owned was by Carcass which was a gate-fold album - but I can't remember the name of the album or find a pic. Inside it was a montage of mortuary-table victims and was pretty horrific to say the least. My mum nearly threw me out of the house when she found it (I was stupid enough to leave it open on top of my record player).

    I've got that album. It's either "Tool's of the Trade" or an early one that I can't remember either :lol: I'll look it up when I'm sober!

    I had Lovedrive by Scorpions, the one with the guy and the chewing gum on the womans breast. I quite like the cover as it was very original.

    As for their 'Virgin Killer' cover, oh my god :o

    I think this one is my favourite "worst" album cover in the list.

    Dated, corny, sexist, stupid, Spinal Tap-ish; it ticks all boxes.

    I've got that album. Bought it second hand a few years ago. Gotta say I thought twice about taking it to the counter. It's not even subtle is it?

    You dirty ol' pervert! I hope you got filthy looks from the people at the counter! :p ;)

    More importantly, was it worth it?
