Ugliest Album Covers

[Brownian Motion]

From the splotchy red-black blobs (meant, I imagine, to suggest abstract expressionist art) to the entirely non-seductive woman stiffly occupying the floor, this album cover is a total turn-off. Music might be better--I don't know.

A bad parody of Way Out West:

[Aggie87]

This one still bugs me:

[John L]

All of the 32jazz releases.

Now that I have them in my iPod, I am finally enjoying them. I even hooked them up with photos of some of the original Muse covers. I used to avoid reaching for those digipacks like the plague.

I absolutely love the music on this one, but I still have trouble enjoying the cover of Cherry's Where is Brooklyn? I guess I have the same issue with the cover of McLean's Demon's Dance. Again, one of my favorite McLean's.

No kidding. The packaging of Joe Chamber's The Almoravid is so bad, it would be an insult to all children to call it child-like. The covers look like they were done by some computer illiterate who discovered an '80s graphics program on their computer.

Pretty much anything in Fantasy's "Legends of Acid Jazz".

I think that's Dave McKenna in drag on the floor.

I am not getting any images on my end. Could you give us the titles and artists for the albums?

Sorry, one of the few times that I've linked from someone else's site. I hope that it's fixed above.

It is, thanks.

I can't find a scan of it, but Dex's original Clubhouse CD cover must qualify among the 'uglies'.

Any hair metal album from the 1980s would qualify.

[rostasi]

Howzabout that avatar pic you got there?

[Rosco]

I find this pretty horrendous. More irritatingly, it's a fine album.

[Chas]

This cover has always repelled me :

[Teasing the Korean]

I like that last one! It reminds me of the cover of Morricone's Malamondo soundtrack.

[.:.impossible]

Hands down, the worst cover to music ratio in my collection:

Who in the hell ok'd this one? If it was my label, this designer would be Crystal fired immediately. Back to aquent, pal.
