Somewhere there is a photographer…

…who thought taking these photos was a good idea. I present the Worst Album Covers of All Time (stolen from QueenBee on Facebook)
Some are NSFW.
Worst Album Covers of All Time
NSFW? I’ll have to wait to go see…
I’ve seen some before, I think I own one, and now there’s a few more entries on my must-have list.

That Orleans album is good FM-pop from the 1970’s, but the cover is awful. The song Still the One was even a pretty big hit. I’ve nver heard the other ones, although I’ve seen some of the covers on “worst album cover” lists before.
At work we only give “awards” for doing bad/stupid/etc things. We have one called the “Tony Award” which is a copy of a very ugly 70’s, likely easy listening type, era album cover. If you get awarded the “Tony” you have to display this on your desk (not to be concealed behind other stuff, but prominently). Forget the last name of the artist, but it’s a pretty ugly 70s dude trying to look cool and failing in every possible way.
// we also have the “Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Programming” award, which is the “Absolute Beginners Guide to Programming” book, which is given when you make a very elementary mistake in code which makes it to code review or production.
The Millie Jackson one and The Handsome Beasts are not even close to the same league as the rest of those. MJ and THB are just tasteless, while the others are largely bad photography, ugly people or unfortunate titles people with no sense of innuendo came up with. MJ and THB are actually pretty interesting photography, IMHO.
“My Pussy Belongs To Daddy” is in a league of its own. Read some of those song titles and tell me the cover ain’t totally appropriate. I actually want that album, now.
