Mmmm... does that fact that you vividly remember these covers tell you anything about how bad they WEREN'T? Ugly, yes, maybe even stupid, but they stuck in your head for this long and if that isn't the goal of an album cover, what is? (Exceptions for the whole psychdelia genre.)

You guys obviously have not been shopping the classical section, where album after album is a hideously ugly imitation baroque painting with the same bland, small black on white Times New Roman font on the back. Flip through 10 CDs and you can't remember what you've seen...
