WTF Album Covers

…And Now Clown Album Covers Are EVERYWHERE

bad album covers, , ,

Maybe not EVERYWHERE, but ever since the previous post, bad album cover art featuring clowns seem to be flying out of the woodwork.

Clown album cover art will apparently NEVER DIE, so it’s a damn good thing that WE will die one day, if for no other reason than to be spared ever having to see another clown LP ever again. That should bring some deathbed comfort to us all, eh?

All of Howdy Doody’s friends are coming, which means NOBODY IS COMING. And where, I ask you, WHERE is this gent’s hands on the right?

He WAS a singer…now he’s a goddamned clown.

Bad Album Covers: Lionel Blair Aerobic Dancing

Lionel Blair Aerobic Dancing WTF album coversThere’s a combination of horrors on this album cover which all add up to WTF. At first glance I didn’t think this record artwork was SO very bad–it seems to be a typically cheesy 80s record. But the more I looked at it, the more I realized how much I was falling in love with its sheer awfulness.

The five-o’clock shadow on his goofy grinning face, the utterly horrifying white shorts (which seem to hint that they aren’t used to being on…for very long) and that enormous HELMET of hair…throw those tube socks into the mix and you have one great big ol’ WTF album cover.

P.S. HOW does ANYBODY do aerobics to the ET theme song?

WTF Album Covers: Fleetwood Mac

WTF?, , ,

Fleetwood Mac have been immortalized in the not-so-hallowed halls of bad album artwork before, but this truly is one of the most bewildering LP covers in their history as a band. If someone knows WTF they were thinking when they approved the artwork for Heroes Are Hard To Find, perhaps sharing that information could clear up the mystery.

One suspects that the driving motivation behind this album art was that it was mostly black, enabling one to quickly locate a small quantity of leftover cocaine residue left behind by the previous snorter, if one were so inclined.
