Bad? Maybe, as in "those apples have gone bad," but it's a pretty cool cover.

Now I'd agree with Fred, this is a bad cover:

OK, both these covers are horrible. Someone else mentioned Yes' Open Your Eyes. Sucked.

worst album covers? Pretty much any post-78 Genesis cover. Three Sides Live takes the cake.

I can't believe someone was actually paid for this.

i love close to the edge. i see the black bit as a the end of a cliff and the green bit the grasy edge (from a birdseye view), i can almost imagine my foot being on the green bit. try putting ur foot on the vinyl and see what i mean.

Sorry but you're mistaken, mate.
There's more to it than the cover.
Check out the digipack for example to see what I mean.

I liked Duke's cover, it is very charming. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I'm crazy too then! Its a great cover.

Alan Parsons Project -Eve.  You'd think rock stars could've found hotter women for their cover

 

BTW, has anyone seen the alternate cover for GG's Octopus?  The one that's not in the jar?  Now that's cool.
Jethro Tull kicks ass!

But don't forget the Moody Blues :)
