Title speaks for itself, post what you consider really b-a-d album covers.

Rules:
- Only one album cover per post.
- Along with the actual picture post a few words about the artist and the album(if either aren't too well known) and let us know what exactly you find so terrible about the artwork.
- When done, say "Next!"


I'll start:



What you're looking at is the cover of glam hotshots Dokken and their fourth album, Under Lock And Key (1985).
Now I am a strong supporter of 80s fashion, but this is just terrible. Bad outfits, worse posing and seemingly no budget for a decent hairstylist. And there's no connection between the cover and the album title. I hate that! Except for if the cover is some sort of arrest warrant paper, who knows.
Musically though it's by far Dokken's best (studio-)effort, their only album where I actually enjoy entire songs instead of just waiting for George Lynch to rip through his solos. Also, great production.

Ooops, I almost forgot to say

Next!

I am pretty sure there are one if not three of these threads, already. One of which was started by Psychedelic Syd.

Anyhoo....


Front...




Back...





A lot of her covers are over the top...but this one for her record Back to the S**T....


I am not sure WTF? anyone involved with this was thinking.

LOL

That actually belongs on the 'Best album cover' thread! It's great! Behold the little vase beside the loo. Also the song titles, hehe.
Is she related to Michael and Janet and those guys?

...next!

A group which was famous for the size of it's singer and this cover....and nothing else.

Hey that's great also! Why don't you like these?

NEXT!

Scorpions - Moment Of Glory

I'm not that sure if dinosaurs (specially a T Rex) used to wear earrings at that age, maybe it's just me but I just think it is out of fashion. But the ring on it's finger and necklace are allright.

Louvin Brothers - Satan Is Real

This photograph taken is a real proof that Satan exists.

The cover could be better, that's true. But it could also be worse.

EDIT: I meant the Scorpions cover. The other one has a funny edge to it as well.
