Terrible album covers thread Part 2

I was thinking about the Marillion artwork the other day and had a little debate with myself as to whether it was good or bad. 'Good' won.

I think any album cover that has little easter eggs that are references to song titles or lyrics are something of a lost art, and probably served a purpose by preoccupying lonely, isolated teenagers and steering them away from murdering their parents. So, yes, 'good' in my book, too.

Obscure Crimewatch Joke there.

Heh, that popped into my head too. One of my classmates at the time was a diehard Marillion fan and was incandescent that anyone would sully their good name by associating it with that. (The links were fairly tenuous, admittedly.)

Bill Laswell. He's worked with Pete Namlook, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Ginger Baker, Buckethead, John Lydon, Afrika Bambaataa, Sly and Robbie, Mick Jagger, Motörhead, Iggy Pop, Yoko Ono, Tetsu Inoue, Mick Harris, Jonah Sharp, Terre Thaemlitz, Talvin Singh, and Jah Wobble.

And he still finds time to release music with album covers like this:

Has there ever been an album sleeve featuring a marijuana leaf that wasn't shit?

You'll get a Body Hammer on Fear Factory's 1995 metal classic Demanufacture as well.

[SteveDave]

Paul Ringo John and Michael Parkinson?

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Paul Ringo Bill Wyman and Michael Parkinson?

FTFY ( I'm assuming that in your original quote, it was John Lennon who was the Parky figure. Bill is supposed to be George Harrison, I think.)

My dad had that album. It was weird seeing it again recently on the internet, as back in the 80s I remember finding it and thinking, "Oh, it's something from the sixties" like it wasn't inherently daft.
