Eartha Kit
I'm Still Here, 1989

Help! Eartha is being attacked by a renegade mink!






Michael Bolton
Michael Bolton, 1990

Like we'd compile a worst-of list without including Michael Bolton …






Joyce
Joyce

Though she never achieved widespread fame or acclaim as a singer, the lovely and talented Joyce has shot to superstardom as the bad-album-cover world's reigning diva. She's a staple of worst lists (check out Pork Tornado's) and, word on the street, an animal in the sack.









Nigel Kennedy
Greatest Hits, 2002

This one time at band camp, there was this amazing violin player who just couldn't reconcile his obsession with being cool with the fact that his instrument symbolized tradition, cultured society, and hours of dutiful practice. So in a fit of faux rebellion, he spiked his hair, smeared war paint on his cheeks, and pretended to eat his violin.





Manowar
Into Glory Ride, 1983

Yes, Manowar makes an easy target — fur loincloths and furrier manscapes guarantee that — but this heavy-metal group seems unapologetic about its awful image. And with good reason. Though no music fan alive can actually name a Manowar song, the decades-old hair band immediately springs to the lips of anyone asked to suggest an ugly album cover. The only thing worse than not being talked about...








Doug Stevens and the Outband
When Love Is Right, 1995

Rare is the country musician who comes out of the closet. Even rarer is the gay guy who sports a mullet without irony.













The Hazies
Vinnie Smokin' in the Big Room, 1996

Those who've actually heard the Hazies perform (all eight of them) rave about the rock band's catchy tunes and terrific stage show. And why hasn't this supposedly supergroup attracted an audience? Maybe the bearded guy in a Carol Channing wig might explain it. Just a thought.


Cher
Take Me Home, 1979

Do I have to? What are your plans for those horns? I am scared.






Pat Boone
In A Metal Mood - No More Mr. Nice Guy, 1997

Not only was this album a sin against music, but getting a glimpse of Pat Boone's leathery chest was added punishment.










Rolling Stones
Dirty Work, 1986

In a desperate attempt to "get with the times," the Rolling Stones apparently raided the extras' wardrobe on Miami Vice.






Vanilla Ice
Cool As Ice - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 1991

It looks like a Crayola box threw up on his pants.










Roxette
Have a Nice Day, 1999

Is there any '80s cliché not included on this Swedish pop group's album? Angular blocks of neon color, check. Contrived expression of rebellion, check. Annie Lennox hairdo, check. Only one problem: This record was produced in the late '90s.









Menudo
Reaching Out, 1984

Muscle shirts AND headbands AND man perms! Need I say more?






The Undertones
All Wrapped Up

Yep! That's an all meat dress folks!











Village People
Renaissance


Men wore tight leather pants, studded jackets and lipliner in Renaissance times, right?











Michael Bolotin
The Artistry of Michael Bolotin, 1993

Apparently, his artistry is tied up into large sunglasses and a flowing man mullet.









Devastatin' Dave The Turntable Slave
Zip, Zap Rap

Is it a creative choice or unfortunate mistake that the bright pink "zap" is right over his crotch?











Tori Amos
Y Kant Tori Read

And why can't she dress? Or leave home without a pirate sword?










Prince
Prince

Only the first in a long, long scary line of bad album covers.










Motley Crue
Shout at the Devil

If the bills for the Crue's booze on tour could be rivaled by anything, it was the bill for AquaNet/











Furr

The boys from Furr want you to know they're here to save the day!!
