I think of Yes, 90125...

Do you have a list? I can't come up with one.

^^ if anything, Big Generator is worse... but then, neither are great albums in my book.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

No, I don't have a list. 

I don't think the 90125 album cover is ugly. Maybe nothing special, but not ugly or ugliest. 
The GTFO album cover is much worse IMO. LOL

The second and third revolting album covers by German band Birth Control, which should have been aborted before birth. Dead

Arena - Double Vision.

I have posted this album cover before. Its a decent album but the cover is hideous. 

It always remind me of UK (alleged) comedian  Michael Barrymore. LOL

Tempus Sidereum - S/T
Great album, ugly and bland AI cover art.

Now that I think about it, Soft Machine vol 2 comes to mind. Excellent album, but horribly disturbing cover.
