"Have Harp Can't Travel" is actually a very amusing cover, and obviously intentional. I'm not saying the music on it will be good, but that's a good cover.

And who forgot the Shaggs? Poor things.

They forgot this one. And what makes it even better is the guy in the middle--the meat in the manwitch--is now a Congressman from New York:

What makes it even better is when people say "How do you know they took all those pics from your web site?" I point out the white line from my crappy old scanner running down the side of the pic.

Those are outstanding. I'd probably listen to a couple of those albums and enjoy them.

/And not just ironically.

I'm more intimidated by suspect number 1 and 2 from the left. Especially with the nipple-pointing and the hypno-vision saying "You want this ... Yooouuu waaant thiiis!"

Also, that was 50 farking pages of a slideshow, couldn't they at least have posted 5 or 10 covers per page? It's not as if we live in the day and age of dial-up anymore.

Robert1966: the Shaggs?

The cover is kinda generic. It's the music that's, uh, memorable.

/My friend wrote a Shaggs musical

Great. Now I'll have dreams about Julie's 12th birthday attended by carnies with facial deformities, blindness, and inbred retardisms in a church basement.
/wait.
//I do that any way for a chumk of morning wood.
///never mind.

You know, someone submitted this sh*t yesterday (probably the same guy), and it was redlit--I remarked then that these covers had come from elsewhere, had certainly been submitted before, and how ironic it was that the number one record on their list is a PhotoShop.

The "Can I borrow a feelin'?" cover looks Photoshopped.

Wow, I didn't think anyone remembered Slim Goodbody. I used to watch him on TV when I was a really little kid. I met him when he did a show at my elementary school once. I was starstruck by Slim Goodbody, how sad is that?

Ugh - I remember seeing a film on Merrill Womach when I was a kid. Horribly burned in a plane crash as I recall; one picture of his head looked like a burnt marshmallow. Thanks for the childhood trauma, P&M!

It's easy to come up with crappy album covers. I want to see a worst gold- or platinum-certified album covers list.

and how could anyone forget this gem:

although I suppose it would qualify more so for gayest album cover of all time....
