Little Lehman's Half-Fast Songs
I'm amazed this one doesn't show up on more "Awful album cover" blogs. I can't even locate any reference to it on the internet! It's gotta be pretty rare. Yeah, hard to believe this thing wasn't picked up by a major label and then go double-platinum. Guess that makes you one of the lucky few to see it and suffer permanent psychological damage as a result.

Since when are toilets and boogers considered marketing agents? Since these artists opted to promote their albums with gag-inducing images. Altogether: Ewww!

The Spaghetti Incident?, 1997
Seriously, is there anything nastier than canned spaghetti? Ditto for this poorly packaged collection of cover songs. No offense, Axl "Chef Boyardee" Rose, but pre-sauced, shelf-stable pasta is incapable of achieving an edible state. Kinda like how your current band lacks the zesty flavor of the Appetite for Destruction days.
Back to the S_ _t, 1990
Thanks but no thanks, Ms. Jackson, for sharing one of life's most intimate moments. While we appreciate your need to answer nature's call—not to mention your classy taste in panties—nobody wants to witness this undignified pose and that strained expression. Curiously, the comedic R&B singer turns modest with her album's title. Hmmm, what could "S_ _ t" possibly mean? Pass the bran flakes.
The Black Crowes
Amorica, 1994
In theory, an artful combo of three all-American ingredients — namely, sex, patriotism, and rock 'n' roll — should equal a kick-ass cover. As seen on the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, the crotch shot can be a classic accoutrement to a legendary album. But regarding this Black Crowes bikini bottom, Wal-Mart, for once, had a point when it deemed these short-and-curlies too nasty for mass consumption.
Yesterday and Today, 1966
John, Paul, George, and Ringo were plenty pissed when Capitol Records slapped together this album of songs from previously released records. So in protest of the label's "butchering," they posed for the cover splashed with blood and holding doll parts. Retailers revolted, and a revised cover, featuring the Fab Four among innocuous luggage, was rushed onto shelves. About the only people who prefer the grisly butcher version are collectors, who covet the rare cover. -Shame this is just the "urban legend" reason for the picture. The picture was not a protest, but an art piece, and The Beatles had NOTHING to do with it's conception. But that doesn't make it any prettier.
Fleetwood Mac
Rumours, 1977
Sure, it's one of the best-selling albums of all time. But consider how much more popular Rumours would have been without those distracting balls dangling from Mick Fleetwood's ding-dong.
Blue Oyster Cult
Heaven Forbid, 1998
If only this poor chap knew the power of good lighting, his date would be sighing not screaming. Alas, a naked bulb gets you nowhere with the ladies.
Clam Dip and Other Delights, 1988
Oh, those kooky alt-rockers! This Soul Asylum cover parodies an old-school Herb Alpert album called Whipped Cream and Other Delights, right down to the shagadelic lettering. Blame the late bassist Karl Mueller if you find a hair on your canapé.
Scatterbrain
Scamboogery, 1991
Because nothing makes an album fly from stores like cartoons picking their noses … We count eight characters on the cover digging for green gold. (If only that many people bought the record.)
Andrew W.K.
I Get Wet, 2002
Actually, Andrew, you get bloody. And we get nauseous.
Load, 1996
It may look like flames, but look closer.
Push Push
Nothing says lovin' like acres of sweaty, hairy chest. And a flute carelessly tossed over the shoulder.
04
Erotic nuns and a fat naked men are not a good mix.
Give Hate a Chance
Finally, an album cover the whole family can enjoy...
Electriclarryland
The Butthole Surfers answer the burning question "What would happen if I stuck a pencil in my ear until it stops?" Thanks Surfers for your public service, and providing an image that will burn in my memory until the end of time.
Beastiality
Another fine entry from the Handsome Beasts. Does this man ever wear clothes?
Fistful of Metal, 1984
The first release from this New York neo-metal band makes it clear that there are worse things than braces to have in your mouth.
Attila, 1970
After playing in The Lost Souls and The Hassles, Attila was the last band Billy Joel recorded with before going solo. A critical and commercial disaster, this recording lost him his recording contract and he went into a deep depression before eventually starting his solo career with 'Cold Spring Harbor' (1971).
| The Mothers of Invention Weasels Ripped My Flesh (1970) No one quite was as "sick and twisted" as Frank Zappa. His Mothers of Invention album cover concept pre-dated the PMRC...and probably inspired them to form as well. It also inspired many (such as the aforementioned Butthole Surfers cover) to try to out-do the Mothers for sheer gross-out value. Nothing quite says, "Let's stick it to the squares" quite like having some straight-laced businessman shredding his face with a rabid rodent. |

I would add this, but I don't see the EasyEdit button. This is possibly the most ghastly, nightmarish album cover ever. I'm glad it's not stuffed on the store shelves any longer like it was when it first came out. |

For the life of me I can't figure out what that is on the Metallica cover! WHAT IS IT?
I can't tell yo how many times I've looked at the Fleetwood Mac cover & I never noticed the bells. I guess I'm not very observant. But, you better believe I'll study every album cover I own now :) |

I can't see anything strange in the Metallica cover. It has flames on it and the band name. I've been staring at it for about 10 minutes. AARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!! What is it?
