     I was looking for something else, and ran across this....

There's at least one website devoted to this topic: 

http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/worst-album-covers (http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/worst-album-covers)

Some choice selections:

Maybe not exactly what you were after, but you gotta admit, that's a cheesy cover:

You wanna see some weird record album covers, just go to www.bizarrerecords.com/wordpress -- they're the authority. :teddyr:

Some of my faves:

This one's a perennial fave. (I used it as my avatar for a while at a music forum I frequent.) I've never heard the album but a review on Rateyourmusic.com describes it as, "Like KISS, but with more suck."  :bouncegiggle:

I can just imagine this scene:
(Phone rings)
Manager Guy: "Hey, FURR! Gene Simmons is on the phone for you guys!"
FURR dudes: "Excellent! Does he want us to open for KISS?"
Manager Guy: "Ummm, nope, he sez you're about to get your asses sued off!"

That KEN one never fails to make me giggle.  :bouncegiggle:

(http://www.showandtellmusic.com/upload/ilikegodsstyle.jpg)

I'm not sure what kind of album this is, but the cover makes me think of that scene in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" where the Black Power revolutionary guy is married to Marcia Brady.  :teddyr:

I'm just imagining what a song from this album would sound like...

(Sung to tune of James Brown's "Living In America" from "Rocky IV")

"Living with the Lesbians...on the farm... don't do no harm, YOW! Livin' with the lesbians...work the dirt, it don't hurt!"

That's also a great underrated record - that was kind-of meant to be their last (it wasn't).  And a truly dated cover.

this one's probably my favourite, you may recognise it as it's been posted quite a lot round the net
