Are These The Worst Album Covers Ever?
We’re not sure what makes a good album cover but we definitely know a bad one when we see it. Here are the very worst album covers from Smooth artists of all time. Weird, amusing and more than a little bit scary!
-
1. Bee Gees - Children Of The World
Leather jackets? Check. Spotlight? Check. Scarves arranged in a Doctor Who manner? Absolutely.
-
2. David Cassidy - The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall
We can't help but think the title of this album is a good life message, but we just can't think about that when looking at its cover.
-
3. Prince - Prince
Let's be honest, we could have created a whole picture gallery entitled 'ways in which Prince made bad album cover decisions.'
-
4. Jermaine Jackson - My Name Is Jermaine
Jermaine is looking way too pleased with himself for this effort.
-
5. Dolly Parton - Bubbling Over
Ordinarily, Dolly can do no wrong by us. But her disembodied head here is just unnerving.
-
6. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Whose big idea were the animal masks? They are just terrifying!
-
7. Tom Jones - A-Tom-ic Jones
Ok, it might have featured the Bond theme 'Thunderball', but there's no excuse for the terrible fake background. Kudos for the pun though, Sir Tom.
-
8. Eartha Kitt - I'm Still Here
Does Kitt remind anybody else of a Cruella de Vil figure there? We'll be keeping the dogs away from her, that's for sure...
-
9. Donny Osmond - Disco Train
Everybody's favourite '70s teen idol almost gets hit by a steam train. But doesn't, phew.
-
10. Rod Stewart - An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down
Yep, people wearing raincoats and chasing children are creepy.
-
-
11. Meat Loaf – Dead Ringer
Is this some kind of visual aid to signal the epic journey you'll face listening to the album?
-
12. Bee Gees - Life In A Tin Can
It's their second entry on the 'worst album covers' list, shame on them. Contender for the worst of the worst?
-
13. Michael Bolton
If this cover tells us anything, it's that Bolton can pout better than most supermodels.
