These have intrigued me for sometime now, so using the same image enhancing techniques as used by NASA to fake enhance photo's from the Mars lander, I have discovered this...

H To He Who Am The Only One... Van Der Graff Generator.

A great album... never particularly cared for the art on the cover, for a while I couldn't even figure out what it was. On the topic of just bad artwork, Tool's Opiate always hurts my eyes, but I'm not too fond of that Ep anyways.

Three unbelivably amateurish ones:

Robert Wyatt's: Cuckooland (brilliant album)



Tea & Sympony: An Asylum For the Musically Insane



Fantasy: Paint a Picture




Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Today it would take 5 minuets to make in photoshop.


Underrated, but Roger's should have known better and let Storm handle things.


Aghhh!


Mmmm, no.....


Great idea, poor execution.


Beverly Yuck!


UGLY


I'd rather close them now, thank you.


Yawn..


Taken from an IKEA manual.


Just doesn't suit them.


Might be in a minority but I find this to be one of Storm's most visually boring covers.

Kate Bush's "Aerial" artwork was a real disappointment (luckily enough, not so the album!)

I own but have yet to give a proper listening. Best to do so on a drive or at home?
Chill-out or a food for thought?

Wanted to like it so much, waited so long, but just found it lame personally.  Love all her other stuff though!

Agreed, it's quite strange.


Also, I HATE the cover to "Going for the One" by Yes. It's probably the reason I still haven't bought it yet. (I'd be quite embarrassed to walk up to the guy behind the counter at the record shop I usually go to with THAT in my hand...)

It's a good album, it's worth the quirkiness involved with your sales clerk .
