The Worst Album Covers of All Time!

Notice the vast number of religious albums that make the cut.

Want to feel really creepy? Geraldine and Ricky are still touring! Evidently she's now billing herself as a Christian comedienne and doing these bizarre Christian cruises where they remove all the fun things in favor of turning the ship into a floating church.

I think my favorite is The Louvin Brothers - Satan is Real. Um, guys? Nice picture of flaming rocks, but could you have assigned the job of drawing Satan to someone other than your six-year-old nephew? Seriously, If I die and see that dude, I'm really not going to regret anything. Shit, steal something from H. R. Geiger or something.

Of course Satan is real. He plays left wing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miroslav_%C5%A0atan) for the New York Islanders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Islanders).

It's a pity, though, that he doesn't play for New Jersey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_Devils)...

"Satan leads the Devils to win the Stanley Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup)!"

Actually, most of them seem to be perfectly normal

given what passed for fashion in the 1970s. I'm sure if I looked I'd find lots of 2nd string pop, folk singers, or other vanity published material with equally bad covers.

Oh, no. I refuse to believe that an album cover that made me realize "Yup, I'm queer" could be counted among The Worst Album Covers of All Time!

The cover in question:

It also made me realize that "Hey, I like hairy bearded men!" Image

Funny, that cover confirmed my hetrosexuality in ways that it hasn't been confirmed in years.

See? Being multifunctional, it just can't be one of the worst covers ever!
