Top 10 Good Music Albums with the Worst Cover Art

1. Electric Ladyland - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

   

   Here, you see the original cover that was replaced with Jimi's photo.

   As you can see, there were many naked women on the original cover - 19 nude women to be exact.

   Okay, not always would 19 naked women look bad, but I don't like them on this cover.

2. Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister

   

   This is the album with their most popular songs: We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock.

   But the cover is plain awful.

3. Yesterday and Today - The Beatles

   

   This is the original cover that was replaced with a band's photo. For a reason.

4. Live It Up - Crosby, Stills and Nash

   

5. Dance of Death - Iron Maiden

   

6. Diamond Dogs - David Bowie

   

   This cover is a huge mistake. And in this image, you do not even see the entire cover, where David Bowie's lower part of the body has dog legs (it continues on the back cover).

7. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys

   

   The music in this album was critically acclaimed. It was called a masterpiece. But this cover... oh boy, I cannot call it a masterpiece. I love animals, make lists about them, and all, but...

   Ah, it is a funny cover. I think what bothers me more is the font and how outdated the idea of having a track listing on the front cover seems.

8. Love to Love You Baby - Donna Summer

   

   An album that represents the music trends of the 70s (disco) - it is a good album from this subgenre, but its cover is a very cheap attempt at getting attention.

9. Silk Purse - Linda Ronstadt

   

10. Power Metal - Pantera

    

    They look silly on the cover due to the '80s glam metal appearance, but the music in the album cannot be called bad. Because of this cover, many people probably concluded that the music was not good.

26. Meddle - Pink Floyd

    

27. Strange Days - The Doors

    

    I love this album, but the cover freaks me out. Two guys (one is not tall at all, the other is very tall and very fat) have their arms spread out. One guy is juggling balls, and another guy is lifting yet another guy by the waist. It is weird.
