Don't know how this got into my Facebook photos, I think someone got it from a bootsale for a crappy birthday present many moons ago! I just loved the way there was no room for orchestra!!!

Surprised to see Sabbath's Sabotage in there...I always thought that was a great cover!

Can't think of a really bad album cover from the ones I own, probably because back in the day, album art was such a big part of the purchase.

This is only one of tens of thousands of similar covers from the nordic "dansband" genre, and I'm deliberately avoiding posting a picture of the dansband band Gert Jonnys. ;)

Nice to see a couple of new suggestions here - the usual suspects have been done to death on FB etc.

Here's my nomination, released only last year:

What always surprises me about cover are of this calibre is that some people sat together in an office and said 'yep, that's it - that's definitely the cover we want for our new album'

I think it's more likely the fact that they have spent all the budget for the artwork on it, and the only affordable alternative is the name of the artist and the album set in Arial black on a white background.

Well I think it includes the classic cliche's for a rock album cover. The only thing missing is a Viking battle sword and a flaming motorbike!

So very many bad album covers out there.... and, at the risk of judging a book by its cover, probably so many bad albums! But what about good albums with bad covers? Two of my favourite artists are Peter Hammill and Todd Rundgren, and they've both been guilty:

And that would have been the better option.

You'd think he would have said something while the photographer was setting up the wolves?

I doubt he went near a wolf. It looks like a photoshop job to me.
