I tis pretty vile isnt it?
 
this is what I found out -----------------to quote Wikipedia
 
"'The computer-generated cover art for the album was provided by David Patchett, but he asked to be removed from the credits because he was not satisfied with the result. The version used was actually a prototype provided by Patchett, but the band decided to use it in its incomplete form. Upon close inspection, one can note several of what appear to be errors; the small infant/dwarf to the right appears to be suspended in midair with his/her ankle sunk into the side of the wolf. The other small person to the left is also standing on the toes of a man, and the woman directly to the right of Eddie (center) seems to have some disfiguring on the fold of her elbow. The woman to the right of the foreground also has a long, misshapen neck.

When the cover art was first revealed on the Internet, many Iron Maiden fans believed that the band was playing a prank. It has been the cause of much controversy amongst fans and is generally quite disliked.[1] Images of the album's cover briefly circulated as an Internet meme as it was ridiculed by many fans and casual observers alike."

Actually The White Album for all its simplicity is very iconic - you can never forget it. And its very easy to make a bootleg copy with a white piece of paper.... Wink
 
just kidding...
 
The Beatles do have some shockers but what about Sigor Ros... ???

hey I thought of those earlier too - admittedly good music but detestable covers. I cant stand it when bands do this. They place a logo and then settle for these without imagination.
 
A lot of KCs albums do this look at Beat and Three of a PP - bad bad bad

This cover just exudes suckiness:
