Top 10 Worst Album Covers of All Time
Most of the covers on the list are horrible that I can't vote more than ten items, so I am only commenting on this one. Why would people want to make disgusting art and pictures for an album? Because we, humans are so stupid that some of them want to start weird experiences no one has ever done before, and now everything bad exist. Why is Born This Way at #6 when it is above a lot of gruesome and disgusting album covers that would make you want to throw up? I get that it looks stupid but really?
What makes a person buy this album? Is it because of the sexy guy on the cover? Or the pig? No its out of pure stupidity
All I can say is What the hell! What record company is making that album! The cover is... MAD!
First of all, they've worked a lot for animal rights.
Secondly, you don't even know their genre.
Yes, that is a actual dead body.
On April 8 1991, Vocalist of the Black Metal Band Mayhem, was found dead in a house he and other bandmates where staying in. Guitarist, Euronymous, happen to went into a store and purchased a camera and came back and took this picture, Which would later be the album cover of this Bootleg Album.
Two years later, Euronymous was murdered on Augest 10 of 1993.
I like Mayhem's music but yeah...it's one thing to have an edgy, dark image for shock value but taking a photo of your dead bandmate is crossing the line. I would like to mention though that the band didn't actually put the picture as the cover, it was a record label that the photos were sent to
Apparently, Mayhem just got away with taking a band member's dead body from suicide. Not even Cannibal Corpse would do such a thing.
The album cover is the actual dead body of the lead singer ironically named "Dead" after he committed suicide. Legend has it that guitarist Euronymous made a stew out of his brain and use bits of Dead's skull to make necklaces
It looks like the cover of Dude Ranch by Blink-182 if the cow all of a sudden started eating blood or bleeding and the sky turned dark with the area having a drought. That being said, Dude Ranch turned dark! So is Blink-182 death metal now?
Cattle Decapitation is actually very very talented, also they've worked a lot for animal rights. Kids here badmouthing them don't even know what genre they belongs to.
Don't talk about things you've no knowledge of.
I think Cattle Decapitation is just known for disturbing album covers.
Just what I wanted to see! (sarcasm)
Fred Durst is such a douchebag. Just look at the cover and the name of this immature album for proof.
That beastiality album cover was kinda funny, this one is messed up. And why is Beyoncé and Rihanna on here? This is worst album COVERS; NOT worst albums. Idiots. by the way, lady gaga's is a close #2... All of her album covers are, not any specific one, all of them.
Skrape: Hey I have a good idea lets get an album cover with a crusty scabbed fingernail on it! I'm sure everyone will want to buy it!
Man, I felt like vomiting the first time I saw this horrible and disgusting cover, and how in the world is this cover not banned?!
Its terrible, the album, cover, singles, videos... Everything is dark and crap and have no message.
Lady Gaga is just terrible. Trying to disguise crappy pop music as art.
This is just ducking ridiculous. Who approved this shirring album cover.
Wow. I didn't know that Lady Gaga was a motorbike!
This should be #1, the cover is literally a naked woman with 3 dead alien bois coming out of her brutally in abnormal ways.
That's messed up...
Looks like they attempted and failed to rip off the cover to Talking Heads- Remain In Light.
He looks like a taki
It was shocking for me to hear that the original cover for this album featured a nude prepubescent girl. How disgusting. They make Cannibal Corpse's album covers look not that gory.
This is just terrible...no words other than out of all bands I can't believe this is the same band that wrote Winds of Change.
Just unbelievably offensive just makes the entire metal community look bad. No words...
At least TheTopTens censored it. I actually have the uncensored album in my CD library. every time I take it out, I feel sick.
I was hoping this one would be here! Made me laugh for several days when I first saw it in a store.
They look like He-Man action figures.
If my friend dared to see this then guarantee her calling it nasty
"Nothing shocking", except that horrible cover.
Very ironic album title here. Not really pleasant to look at either
Why isn't this on the top 10? Justin Bieber's album is higher because of hate, which is wrong. It's a list about bad covers, not hated artists.
Is this what music has come to? Having one of the band member's dicks being shoved in my face?
Yup, that's an actual penis.
I'm not sure about you guys, but this cover makes me want to throw up.
Where's the candy?
There are many things I want to see in this world; The Great Wall of China, Stonehenge, The Pyramids. But of all these things I can proudly say that a Naked Beatle and his wife is NOT one of them!
How high were John and Yoko when they came up with the idea for this cover.
I seriously can't believe John would do something like this.
A quite scarily bad idea, it seems. The uk (my country) was not pleased
I don't care about the cover is graphic, that's the part of Death Metal.
Looks like a brutal version of Youthanasia's cover.
This cover is so bad the picture got removed.
I'm a die hard Eminem fan and while I was listening to his song Brain Damage, the album cover caught my attention. You don't really notice it though. In the trunk of his car, there's a corpse, which I'm imagining is Kim, because if you look at Em in the album cover, a little kid, probably Hailie, is next to him. This is probably a reference to the song "'97 Bonnie And Clyde" listen to it if so you'll know what I mean.
The album cover is sick and disgusting, a dead corpse in a bonnet wrapped around near a pier about to be thrown into the sea. I like Eminem but this is like Cannibal Corpse without the blood.
One of my favourite album covers. Even though there's a dead corpse in the car
Just boring and sketchy looking. Looks really lazy and super underground
I like this cover, it's both funny and sexy at the same time.
What's up with a lady's waist and belt?
Um, what is that?
I find this one very funny.
This album cover is all gothic Sabbath. The way that they are all supposed to be. I do however think that this could go on a list of the most disturbing album covers. This is great!
