Top 10 Album Covers with Parody Elements
Some of the covers on this list are parodies of other covers but this list isn't limited to this type of parody.
It resembles Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam". But looks so funny.
This is my personal favorite. It's too bad that it didn't get released as the actual final cover. Verve Records ended up using it as the gatefold image instead to avoid a lawsuit.
Parody of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles).
The one and only Frank Zappa! (in black dress)
Nirvana cover parody
Parody of Abbey Road (The Beatles).
Red Hot Chili Peppers aren't naked. They wear socks...
When I was young, I read about the album and thought that he was saying that the music itself was "even worse" than what he already made. It wasn't until I saw the album cover that I finally got the joke.
Parody of Bad by Michael Jackson (...and Weird Al Yankovic is "Even Worse"). I think that Weird Al should have entitled his album "Worse" for a better and faster association with Bad.
The woman resembles those on Cannibal Corpse album covers (the band name, Cannabis Corpse, is a parody Cannibal Corpse)
Dark Side of the Moon? (Pink Floyd)
Licensed to Ill by Beastie Boys?
The cover, the title and some of the songs on the album are satirizing the American culture. But Supertramp's members stated that no such thematic satire was intended.
Whatever.
Yes, Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd cow
Elvis Presley
