:shock: :shock: :shock:

It's damn near impossible to pick the worst single cover in that bunch...
But for me it's a toss up between "Chicken" - Coup Deville and Cody
Matherson - Can I borrow a feeling. :toilet:

I actually own that Orion album.

When I won it in a radio contest in college, I was hoping for an album of "space music".....nope, just some weird dude in an opera mask. :shock:

That first one always creeps me out... What the heck is the pimp / hill billy doing with 16 year old Julie in a bar?!?!? Country Church and Joyce just make me laugh, but Freddie Gage's uplifting "All my friends are dead", is the feel good album of the year. :roll:

It is simply blasphemy that they have a Les Baxter album in that collection :)

Perspective

#9 Post by darkestkarma »

I think it's all about perspective, and this kid...Spencer Elden has a reason to dislike the Nirvana "Nevermind" cover :(

My vote is for 'Virgin Killer' by the Scorpions. Maybe I'm missing the irony but to me it looks like the work of a vile pervert at worst or a misguided idiot at best. Definitely not the album cover you want people to see when you're trying to convince them that metal is not evil.

I can't believe that they found photographers who were so hard up for cash to take the shots...... :shock:

Damn, that's funny. Though I think the Les Baxter and Jonah Jones covers are actually quite good!

ummm... just... wow!

it's a toss up between 'ole cody matherson and the braillettes.
both equally creepy and pitiful. what a world we live in!!!

holy crap... gary dee bradford is hurtin' too!
...and i hate to be this way... but "ken" by request only has a look about him that suggests he approves of rape. good gravy.

for sheer hilarity however- my vote goes to "the electric amish" for their ever fantastic concept album "a hard day's work".
i do love plain old absurd stuff!
