Great album, shit cover.

Are there any albums you like with really appalling album covers?

Well, here are two examples from my collection:

and

Great albums, especially Steve McQueen, but they could have asked Peter Saville for advice in creating covers.

Or a 5 year old...

Can I answer "Waiting for the sirens' call"? [orange]No[/orange] (ah, lousy pun intended!)?

OK, I'll settle with Springsteen's "Darkness in the Edge of town" then..

ABBA - Survival (spell)

PIL's Greatest Hits So Far (o.k. o.k. it's a compilation) but the cartoon of the alien unloading the boxes is juts hideous, I hesitate to play it sometimes.

Honestly, Republic's cover never seemed all that great to me either, but I admire that Saville used all commonly available stock photos to make it, so it's exempt.

I think it may have been changed from the original vinyl, but here's what the CD looks like for the pivotal 1976 release of the Modern Lover's album:

Also of note, the "Help" album by the Beatles is not a 'great' album per se, but it's decent enough for what it is. Kinda loses something in the translation from vinyl to CD...

Happy Mondays - Squirrel and G-Man 24 Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out)

Regarded as a classic. Don't know why.

Horrible cover, horrible album.

Best Sabbath album since Born Again. Deserves a better cover.

Special mention must go to:

BEACH BOYS... Pet Sounds

'PIL's Greatest Hits So Far (o.k. o.k. it's a compilation) but the cartoon of the alien unloading the boxes is juts hideous, I hesitate to play it sometimes.'
