Worst Album Cover... Evah

[Swissward Flamtacles]

This one is so bad it's good (kind of): Dave Liebman - Light'n Up, Please!
Notice the triple word play on the album title and the very natural scene on the front.

This collection takes the cake, though: https://www.pocket-lint.com/apps/ne...r-art-of-all-time-you-won-t-believe-number-34

Where is Chris Hanson when you need him? Is it still wrong if y'all is cousins? Askin for a friend.

To be fair - if they'd called the album 'Chocolate Terminator Roadbuilding Accident' - it would have been damn near perfect.

Serial killer Keifer Southerland or drugged out Patrick Swayze? This is a good one...

My son Jesse (special agent DEA) there in the middle with Dawg, whom Jesse got to help him on a case. Yep, the guy on the album cover looks like a Dawg wanna be.

Haha, the above could apply to either of the previously posted entries:



I cant help but think that George Duke has the "I pooped my pants on purpose" look on his face. Anyone who has dealt with toddlers knows that look.

I think this one might be a candidate for the worst album cover ever. While he may have gone on to much greater success than if he had stuck with this format, I actually think this album is his best. Obviously I don't subscribe to the idea that popularity equals greatness.

No matter where you look on this cover, it horrific.

Dave Weckl’s Rhythm of the Soul is a good album with great drumming (obviously), but the album art looks like it was designed by a 12 year old using MS Paint.

That seemed like the trending theme for cover art on 80s-90s jazz/rock fusion albums.

What makes this one special to me is that no matter where you look on this cover, there is no safe space, there is no relief. It's like you're being challenged to look as long as you can without turning away.

Damn shame. Ahmet Ertegun forcing them to make an album when they didn't really have the material for one. How can you write a Prog album in the Bahamas?
