whats the poorst album art you've seen on a album. or maybe a great album but the cover could have been better. for me, i was dissapointed with zepplins volume 3 and that other one where they sit infront of a black sculpture with a ship out the window, i mean these are just slack covers that look poor and rob the album of its quility. ------------- SHEP get with the program |

| Not only was it my worst purchase in music, but Supergrass' I Should Coco also has terrible album art. The cover consists of caricatures of the 3 members of the band and looks horrendous. And the booklet with the CD consists of nothing but exaggerated drawings of the mouths and eyes of these guys. BAAAAAAADDDDDDD. |

GG's music is great, but their album covers leave something to be
desired. Take Three Friends for example - does anybody really
like that cover? Almost turned me off buying that CD. |

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 :) |

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:

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 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. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

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.
