 #WorstAlbumCovers 13/13 @losttourist These are incredible. I got as far as 7/13 before wondering if they had been AI generated. I mean, How to buy Meat? @losttourist Quite the list though! I recognize only 2 artists: @losttourist Thank you for sharing these and the donation info.  This thread is gold dust!  @losttourist The studio rejected Jean Pierre Jumezโs first album title (โSongs I wrote while taking a dumpโ) but they let him use the cover art. @losttourist That Bamperos one caught my eye. It would be less weird if they were all in the bath, but crouching behind a bubbly bath like some sort of predatory gang, waiting for... somebody to get in the bath? Hi there, that multi-chinned chap on the lower right was our former prime minister (1957 to 1963), John Diefenbaker. I can confirm that your alt text is correct, despite being Canadian, he was not shouting "sorry" in this shot. @losttourist Every time I see it, I swear one of the "Jesus Use Me" is Stephen Fry in drag @losttourist For those who only speak American English, โpeckerโ just doesnโt (or at least didnโtโ) have the same connotation that we give it in the US. When I worked in London, I was complaining about something to my HR person, and she tried to encourage me by saying โkeep your pecker up.โ  @paco @losttourist the Pecker Dunne is the man on the cover and got his name from playing the banjo. He was great really, a proper folk artist and talented with many instruments. If you don't mind me being a bit boring in your comments section!   @losttourist M. A. Numminen is an insane finnish artist, singer, composer and author. Once when he took a cab through New York while drunk as a skunk, he saw a bar with the sign "Blacks only". He ordered the cab to stop, and despite the cabbie's pleading him not to enter, he went in. Inside, the music stopped, people stopped dancing, and the bartender stopped cleaning glasses. The bar was just hateful eyes. Then he started his show, and everybody loved him. He visited this bar every time he was in New York. @klefstadmyr @losttourist Thanks for sending me down a rabbit hole! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJn9NiKOtw @klefstadmyr @losttourist I'll leave other videos as exercises for the reader, but both Rhythm Stick and Yes Sir I Can Boogie are on the tubes of you. @losttourist The artist for the frog cover is M.A. Numminen. (In)famous for his covers of classic songs like "Rubber ball" and "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" translated to Swedish. @losttourist These are all wonderfully weird & creepy. Somehow the Olaf Sveen is the most off-putting. "Ladies, make sure to wear your lemon yellow & white outfits." Did poor Olaf pick his awful photo for the cover? This truly does NOT look like a party.  @losttourist Olaf Sveen is seemingly an inspiration for Aki Kaurismรคki's cinematography.  Uh, there seems to be a mistake as "Armenian Dance Party" is clearly awesome.  @losttourist the afro polo one made me laugh, and I just looked it up on YouTube and thanks, it's actually brilliant. |
