No. 13: Mike Adkins – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Thank You For the Dove'
Well, we know how much you love symbols of peace. (Sorry, we couldn't get it to hold an olive branch.)
As offbeat as this might seem, we feel like Mike Adkins might be the kind of guy who once had a great career, a loving family, and was a hit at the party spouting off tall tales and jokes galore. Then tragedy st

No. 12: Francisco Y Fernando – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Vamos a la Playa'
"Hey bros, you beachin' it today? Sweet. Lemme get my boogie board."
Tough to say what's going on here. Is this a father-son combo or is it a rebel uncle teaching his awkward nephew how to be a man? Are they lovers?
Any way you slice it, this is the least inviting pic we've ever seen. Yeah, sure, the

No. 11: The Singing Postman – 50 Worst Album Covers
'The Best of The Singing Postman'
Despite the stigma that all postal service employees are either driven insane by their presumably uneventful job or just bitter to the point of losing all human decency, most mailmen or women are a jovial bunch.
We hear them

No. 10: Swamp Dogg (Again) – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Rat On'
Look familiar? Apparently, this dude is a noted songwriter who produced a bunch of award-winning tracks for other artists. Album covers for his projects? They win awards that are on par with the Razzies.

No. 9: Jeff Beck – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Emotion and Commotion'
Honestly, we can't really give Jeff any guff over this album cover. There's only so much you can do with the title. What's going to stir up both emotion AND commotion?
A bald eagle symbolizing patriotism, an electric guitar symbolizing the spirit of rock 'n' roll - a bastion of free speech, and then the rays of sunshine symbolizing Heaven -- GOD BLESSED AMERICA WITH ROCK 'N ROLL!
Let's get serious, if you saw the clouds part and a giant bald eagle shredding on an axe, you don't think people would lose their minds?

No. 8: Geraldine and Ricky – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Trees Talk, Too!'
This cover makes us think that human/dummy sex could be a full blown, legitimate fetish. How many ventriloquists do you think fall in love with their dummies? Well, we're at least probably sure Geraldine and Ricky did.
Are you seei

No. 7: Aphex Twin – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Windowlicker'
It's pretty well known that Aphex Twin is a weird dude. He's been called, "The most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music" and has recorded under 14 or 15 different aliases. That puts Metho

No. 6: Erick and Beverly Massegee – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Amen!'
This cover puts Geraldine and Ricky to shame. While the other pair sort of concealed their unrelenting, burning desire for each other by diverting your attention to environmentalism and channeling your inner hippie, this cover makes no bones about what's going on here -- we've found love in a hopeless place.

No. 5: Vikingarna – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Kramgoa låtar 7'
Vikings are awesome. At least, our modern day idea of vikings is cool. (Thanks, Capital One.) But, when Vikings actually roamed the seas and villages tearing everyone a new one, it probably was not as LOL as we'd like to imagine.

No. 4: Jim Post – 50 Worst Album Covers
'I Love My Life'
If you're having a bad day, week or year, we highly suggest you drink in the visual delight that is Jim Post winning at this whole life thing. How could he not love his life? He's got lip fur, a pretty decent physique, soulful eyes and a relaxing waterfall.
What does lo
