Worst album covers.. Ever.

[f/stopblues]

I found this on a local mountain bike forum, but while scrolling through these, I couldn't help but think of the photographers who were PAID for these shots and what they could possibly be thinking. Was it the photog's idea? Were they as embarassed taking the photos as I am just looking at them? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

Enjoy!

The first one, and the one where the guy is going thru the garbage are pretty bad, but the other ones are, uh, understandable photos, given the diabilities/nature of the singers. I think that one guy is a burn victim. Others are pretty funny.

that les baxter record towards the beginning is actually very good. i have the brailettes record and it's worse than you think...

There are quite a few web sites devoted to bad album cover art, e.g.,

Many of these were featured in a book I have that was a bit more informative and less mean-spirited.

The fellow who looks like a burn victim is, indeed, a survivor of an accident. This album was about his recovery.

Number 12 is an actual Elvis Presley album done by him under the name Joe Bravo.

Beware. Some thin skinned people will start calling you names. I respect your right not to like ugliness, though. I'm like you 🙂

Beware, some overinflated egos will tell you people will start calling you names.

That's what I figured (about the recovery).

Gabriel is M.A.D?

#26 is particularly incredible. What are the songs about anyway?

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

I actually liked #35. "I dig chicks" ... classic!

I'm sick of seeing some of these album covers...I want to hear the music on them. It might just be worse than the covers in some cases.

f/stopblues: thanks for the link. It was lots of fun.
