WTF: Crosby Stills and Nash Skullcrushingly Bad Album Art

For those of you just joining us, WTF is our archive of crappy album artwork. There’s no way to define what exactly earns an album cover inclusion in our WTF gallery–we just know it when we see it. With that in mind, we give you…

Crosby Stills and Nash Live It Up

Crosby Stills and Nash are responsible for some of the worst hippified excesses of the 60s. Once Neil Young departed the picture, these three sonic tormentors were free to torture the rest of us with godawful dribble like “Teach Your Children”. Behold: “..and so become yourself/because the past is just a goodbye.”

Um, what? Bloody hippies. Go back to the peace pipe and leave us alone.

And then there’s THIS abomination–skewered hot dogs on the moon. Of COURSE! What ELSE would you put on an album called “Live It Up”? If you look closely you can see tiny little telephone company linemen wondering WTF they’re doing on the cover of this wretchedly awful nonsense. Can you hear what they’re thinking? “Oh my, I do hope I don’t float away into the cold vacuum of space. After all, I don’t have a space suit and I may die. But if I DO. at least I don’t have to listen to Crosby Stills and Nash ever again. In fact, I think I’ll just let go of my pole here and sail off into the dark. Maybe I’ll explode.”

Whatever the band was smoking when they approved the hot dogs-in-space album cover, I want some–after all, any chemical substance that renders this cover acceptable to ANYONE in the business of selling music has GOT to be damn entertaining to ingest.
