Some of the Worst Album Covers I Have Ever Seen!
By an Amazon.com customer
MetallicaMetallica by Metallica
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $4.88
There is no way that the members of Metallica had not seen This Is Spinal Tap. This cover isn't unforgiven, it's unforgivable.
Frehley's CometFrehley's Comet by Ace Frehley
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.03
Wow. Space.
Cat #1Cat #1 by Criss
Buy used from: $5.16
Oh. My. God.
Hold Your FireHold Your Fire by Rush
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.80
Wow. There's three guys in Rush, and three red balls on the cover, eh?
Hear in the Now FrontierHear in the Now Frontier by Queensrÿche
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $4.88
Probably the very, very worst of Hugh Syme.
AssholeAsshole
Buy used from: $1.30
Look at this picture of Gene. Then check out Danny DeVito's character in Big Fish. Coincidence? I think not.
New Kids on the Block; Merry, Merry Christmas [Japan Import]New Kids on the Block; Merry, Merry Christmas [Japan Import]
Buy used from: $18.95
I know that I don't need to say anything here.
Mr. Spock's Music from Outer SpaceMr. Spock's Music from Outer Space by Leonard Nimoy
Buy used from: $33.72
I'd like to point out that this album cover was for a guy who claimed, "I Am Not Spock".
Live at DoningtonLive at Donington by Iron Maiden
Buy new: $26.98 / Used from: $22.99
This cover was so dissapointing after a string of awesome Eddies over the last 13 years. Thank goodness this version is out of print and replaced with a Melvyn Grant painting instead!
Ram It DownRam It Down by Judas Priest
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $4.70
Bad cover (by Mark Wilkinson if you can believe it) for a horrible album title as well.
All Systems GoAll Systems Go by Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $7.99
See, his first and last names start with a V. And there's space.
Stay HungryStay Hungry by Twisted Sister
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.44
In their defense, it wasn't what they wanted for the cover (see Still Hungry for that picture). Is that a ham bone?
W.A.S.P.W.A.S.P. by W.A.S.P.
Buy used from: $7.80
I loved W.A.S.P. but even to a bunch of kids, this cover looked cheap and silly.
Black RainBlack Rain by Ozzy Osbourne
Buy used from: $0.93
Come on, Ozz! At least they replaced this crappy cover on other editions of the CD.
The Return of BrunoThe Return of Bruno by Bruce Willis
Buy used from: $40.75
A buddy of mine bought this just FOR the cover.
