Born Again has a huge fan base in Brazil despite of the cover. I am of the fans.

My daughter has a tough time with anything by Bowie because of his androgyny. I enjoy the BIG HEAD covers of the 70s. Artists faces bigger than life, when some of them should not be. Chuck Mangio comes to mind. Love that guy.

after all the controversy (not just over the cover art) it's still a good album. A good example of an album that was either ahead or behind its time and emerged later as a sleeper classic.

These are just off the top of my head, but there are just SO many crappy covers out there, I could do this all day.

This is actually not a terrible album, with a VERY 1980's version of Parchment Farm. The cover looks like one that Spinal Tap would've had.

Oh dear, these three are rather poor. The Kenny Loggins is quite creepy!

It's great to see some real shockers coming out!! :)

Are wine glasses becoming a theme?

That Millie Jackson one is way awful. At first I thought she was holding something x-rated...but then realised it was a shoe :)

I Gotta find some more now.....

I worked at a record store when that came out. Every time I walked past the new release display with that on it, I would place a different album in front of it. LOL
