Anybody remember this absolutely creepy album cover from the late 1970s? This was the band, Fotomaker, that featured Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli (both ex-Young Rascals).

Hmmm. Interesting, but they include the Butcher Cover and Mom's Apple Pie as worst....

A few more here (some good ones, some repeats):

There are other such lists on YouTube, but I picked out this cover from one:

And also:

Some of these are just too easy to hate (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0-e3XIt ... re=related) so I wonder if there's room for a list of worst album covers by "real" bands (e.g. the Orleans or Herbie Mann covers, or ABBA Image).

Those matching jumpsuits make them all look pregnant. And someone didn't read the memo about not tucking his pantlegs into his ugly boots.

How about shirtless and no mouth. I thought I would jumpstart this thread.

Crackers was a Biker type bar band from the mid-seventies to mid-eighties.

I saw them live a couple times at festivals. They were a hoot!

If you get the chance check out "Grace" from this album.
