*cough* Love Beach *cough*

Other then that obvious choice, my other two picks must go to...

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
 
^I mean seriously, that was the best they could do?

And:
Doesn't help that I can't really call this album 'music'.

i was wondering what that was because i couldn't tell.


i like this cover .. it's a lot like what New Order used to have - just interesting textures


I don't see anything good or bad about it or more importantly.. anything of interest IN it.

Not scary... not tasteless.. not shocking..... not anything really? 



i find it calming .. the kind of cover a band uses when they don't need flash to sell the album.
i'm a big fan of texture and muted colour used like this .. simple elegance

I can't understand what's going on.

Oh Lord, this band will never be the same to me after seeing this...
"The Hall of Floaters in the Sky" and "Time Robber" had pretty good cover artworks though


And it's a great album actually! One of their best. The title (Csillagok útján) means "through the stars" so they are probably posing for space travellers on the cover I guess.

That might actually be a fun album cover.

I still insist

This are the worst Prog covers



Even Fireballet's is at list hilarious

PS: Believe it or not, this is a Prog album with Billy Joel, and the cover sucks.


Really distasteful
