Of course, you realize-- these can easily be made to run as your screen saver.

THAT's inspiration for a folkie!

What I can't believe is how some of those covers show some actual time and work put into them, as far as band logos, etc. Like the one above of the Manson family. Somebody actually worked a bit on that title. Then they stuck that cheap freaky photo under it.

I guess there's no accounting for taste when it comes to marketing or missing the mark as the case may be.

Looks like we found the same site, bobad.

I can't believe the Louvins went with this concept.

You beat me to it, bobad. Mudcat went for a smoke when I was trying to post that one.

Here's one SOMEbody should've put a stop to.

Warning! Offensive on SO many levels. I'm not kidding.

No, it might be a blonde Gibson J-200, but it's hard to tell from the picture, 6. Could be a Yamaha or Epiphone copy.

These are great examples of directions NOT to take.

I recognize all the examples on this page from a book of the 100 worst album covers that I picked up this summer in the sales bin at Coles. Couldn't pass it up.

We've all seen a lot of bad cover art over the years.

What's your favourite "what were they thinking?" example?
