No. 45: Dick Black and His Band – 50 Worst Album Covers
No. 45: Dick Black and His Band – 50 Worst Album Covers
'A Taste of Dick Black' No thank you. We're good. You can't even Google this guy's name without the search engine blushing; it's tailor made for "best entry ever" in the phone book. It's almost too good to be true -- either there's some genius out there who took advantage of Dick's naivete or everyone's just sublimely blind to the world's dirty minds...
No. 13: Mike Adkins – 50 Worst Album Covers
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...
No. 12: Francisco Y Fernando – 50 Worst Album Covers
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...
No. 11: The Singing Postman – 50 Worst Album Covers
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...
No. 10: Swamp Dogg (Again) – 50 Worst Album Covers
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. The internet owes a tremendous debt of gratitude for Swamp Dogg...
No. 9: Jeff Beck – 50 Worst Album Covers
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
No. 8: Geraldine and Ricky – 50 Worst Album Covers
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...
No. 7: Aphex Twin – 50 Worst Album Covers
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 Method Man to shame...
No. 6: Erick and Beverly Massegee – 50 Worst Album Covers
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
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
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...
No. 3: Mrs. Mills – 50 Worst Album Covers
No. 3: Mrs. Mills – 50 Worst Album Covers
'All Time Party Dances and Other Favourites' Remember Mimi Bobeck on 'The Drew Carey Show'? We think we just found her fictional mother. Pop some blue eye shadow on this ball of fun, tone down the chipper attitude, and it'd be a carbon copy of Mimi...
No. 2: William Hung – 50 Worst Album Covers
No. 2: William Hung – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Hung for the Holidays' She bangs. She bangs... her stockings with care. The man who won the world over after his off-key rendition of Ricky Martin's 'She Bangs' on the third season of 'American Idol' dropped this merry album on us in October 2004...
No. 1: Shut Up and Dance – 50 Worst Album Covers
No. 1: Shut Up and Dance – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Dance Before the Police Come!' When we first laid eyes on this cover, we were completely baffled as to which of the two chunks of text was the group's name. Turns out it's Shut Up and Dance, which could be one of the best band names we've ever had the fortune of reading but here's where we get a little uneasy...
No. 49: Boned – 50 Worst Album Covers
No. 49: Boned – 50 Worst Album Covers
'Up at the Crack' We're not really morning people, so the idea of waking up to a dude poking us in the face with his axe sticking out of his jeans will definitely get us up and at 'em no matter what time of day. The band's name and title does make us wonder if they're saying they rock you all night long 'til the break of dawn or if they're just early risers...
