WTF: Guide Me Lord…Into A Salon

WTF?, , , , ,

WTF Guide Me Lord Bad Album ArtFundamentalist evangelical Christians are easy targets for the WTF bad album art flame thrower. They are so convinced by their own rhetoric that it never occurs to them that the REST of the world is snickering, nay, CACKLING at them for their misguided musical exploits. Even in more recent times than when THIS abomination hit the shelves, bands like Creed get big laughs for their squeaky-clean, but ultimately misguided antics.

At least Creed has the decency to attempt a veneer of cool–you’d be fooled for about thirty seconds until you heard the singer’s decidedly non-angsty voice croaking out those high school home room-penned lyrics about sin and salvation. THESE ladies on the other hand, aren’t having any of it.

WTF: Clown Horror

album, , , ,

WTF is scarier than this album cover? The extreme closeup of this unholy circus clown reveals plenty of terrifying detail we could have lived our lives without seeing. For a start, it appears this clown has a nose piercing. Is this an escaped clown from the Jim Rose Circuse Sideshow, or what?

And that tiny little hat…it’s so small we can only conclude that it’s been nailed into place.

Somebody clearly thought this record would SELL. What kind of misguided, sinister person foisted this upon the world? And on vinyl, at that! The cover is far to evil and confused to be marketed at children, yet the idea of this selling to adults is too awful to comprehend. The imagery here is more like the zombie clown out of a George Romero film than fodder for a kiddie LP.

Fear the reaper, that’s the message of THIS album. Fear the reaper.

WTF: International Winner For Worst Album Cover Ever?

WTF?, ,

bad album art all time winner female vocals

I really don’t know what the hell is going on with this album cover. I discovered this at BadRecordCovers.com and am still reeling from the effects of what is either a man in drag poking fun at hirsute women or a hirsute woman reveling in her unshaven glory. For the record–there’s nothing wrong with the hirsute look, it’s not my cup of tea exactly, but I like to keep an open mind.

What really gets me about this wretched cover is the “I farted!” expression on this person’s face combined with the freakish hand flex–is she having a stroke here or what? And WTF is going on with her OTHER hand, anyway? Combine that with the nauseous background color and you have a candidate for Possibly Worst Thought-Out Album Cover, Like, Ever.

Fail: Rolling Stone Smoking Section on Worst Album Covers Ever

WTF?, ,

There was some excitement in the air at the discovery of Rolling Stone’s Smoking Section on Worst Album Covers Ever. But joy turned to annoyance when it was discovered that RS only had the wherewithal to post a single, vaguely cruddy (but not truly hideous) album cover by somebody called Mike Bones.

They couldn’t go the distance apparently, and even though there was a desperate five minute (ok, two-and-a-half minute) search to find more Worst Album Covers Ever pages in the Smoking Section, it was clear that some doofus intern had been turned loose on this project before getting canned for stealing Jann Wenner’s weed or putting his naughty bits in the executive drinking fountain.

Here’s the merely lame-o album cover Rolling Stone saw fit to brand as one of the worst album covers ever:

Mike Bones bad album coverThis cover looks a bit like some kind of Jonas Brothers backstage blackmail photo–the kind you mail to the victim with the idea that there’s more where that came from and ten times as naughty. “Tell the Brothers if they don’t pony up the dough, we send out those pictures of the lads stuffing their greased, drooping willies into the light socket.” Continue reading Fail: Rolling Stone Smoking Section on Worst Album Covers Ever →
