Title: Best and worst album covers
Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on June 18, 2008, 04:03:56 PM
In the Pink Floyd VS. Led Zeppelin thread, I said that Pink Floyd have cool album covers. I was thinking, do they have the best?

Post some album covers which you think are in some way or another, totally awesome. Or just look cool. And if there are any which you think are totally horrific, post them too so we can all enjoy them...


Some ideas:

For now....

^ You think to yourself, how much blacker could it be?

Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet  is one of the WORST

Jon got so aggravated at the record label for putting pink borders on the cover that he went and got a black garbage bag, sprayed it with water, wrote Slippery When Wet with his finger and had the photographer take a pic of it

Thats the cover.

thats not what happened...they got into trouble for the album cover being TOO racy....so they changed the cover...pink borders had nothing to do with it as far as I remember...

Well, the first had a pic of a woman with big boobs etc but the back and the borders were Pink and Jon wanted nothing to do with PINK so he demanded a new cover but they'd already printed a ton of copies. Jon got his wish though and had like a day to think of something else so he grabbed the trash bag.


It was on their Behind The Music.
