    Great list! Helloween has a couple bad album covers: "Pink Bubbles Go Ape" & "Chameleon" (Both are bad albums as well). REO Speedwagon's "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish" is pretty crappy but its a good album. Razor's "Decibels" is hilariously bad but is a pretty good album.

    I'd recommend Swamp Dogg's "Rat on" for a fantastic bad album cover. Swamp Dogg riding a rat with his arms up in triumph, it's glorious. Also Uriah Heep's Abominog is also so bad its good, these might belong on a different tier list though perhaps.

    You found a bunch of stinkers! Congrats. This was fun. And you avoided all the beehive ladies and pantsuit men wanting to touch Jesus (yawn). I'm an old guy so never thought about how bad the Frampton or Loggins LPs were -- I just thought it was the 70s I grew up in, everything was needlessly seductive, cosmic, et al. I will say I probably wouldn't have thought the Journey was "bad," but then again, the 70s twisted my brain. The Allman shot, for example, was just about the flying the flag of freakiness, ubiquitous in our days. Great episode!

    Emerson Lake & Palmer's Love Beach, because of who they were (had been)
    It's an honest cover, by the way, because it visually warns how crappy the music is.

  • @TedGrubersky
    @TedGrubersky 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Good idea for video, and interesting choices. Well done guys!
    I’d throw in a few, album covers which really put me off the record itself, or are perhaps by bands whose artwork is usually really good
    Stuff such as;
    Heathen Chemistry by Oasis (my fave band - but it’s a rubbish, ugly sleeve - blurry picture of the band standing around with a green background colour - their other albums have such iconic and exciting artwork)
    Coda by Led Zeppelin (just so basic and boring, uninspired - like something you’d make at primary school during an IT lesson)
    Good Feeling by Travis (really great album, brilliant debut but the cover is dull and just annoys me - on the cd or tape versions I turn the artwork inside out, there’s a better picture on the inside, I use instead to avoid looking at! - there’s a lot of albums this applies to but cannot think which ones!)
    I love your videos. May I request one soon, perhaps a ranking list of frontmen/frontwomen. That’ll be good, if you’ve not already done so
    Keep up the great work ❤

    Virgin Killers was reissued almost worldwide with a generic group shot of the band, something they should have done in the first place.
    Lovedrive was reissued with a drawing of a high-tech scorpion, but the original Hipgnosis cover with the strategically placed sticky bubblegum on the woman's breast is now the official cover once again.
    Blind Faith was also reissued with a group photo of the band, but now the latest 180g reissues restored the controversial original.
    Not listed or talked about here but Roxy Music's original cover for Country Life of two scantily clad young German women was banned in the US, originally covered up in an opaque green bag, and then reissued with just a shot of the pine tree branches. When it was reissued on CD in the late 80's, the original cover with the models was restored in the US, and has been used on CD and vinyl reissues ever since.

    This was fun, that Metal Church album cover is one of the reasons the band broke up. Mike Howe their lead singer rightfully hated that album cover, and also grunge/alternative was taking over by 1993 so I'm sure that didn't help. Hope you guys rank that band at some point and Fates Warning.

  • @knotwilg3596
    @knotwilg3596 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    There are three categories for me: profanity (nudity, potty ...), atrocity (babies at the stake) and bad aesthetics. While profanity and atrocity can fulfill their purpose of shocking an audience, the aesthetically bad ones are offending the audience on another level. That's why the one by Ademe is in a category of its own. I also dislike the CSNY one with w--ners in space.
    I'll say this about The Scorpions' one. We're doing very well as a society to cancel out child abuse or other variants of s* predatory behavior. But in those days the ideal of the under age virgin was all over the place. Look up David Hamilton: the best of families had a calendar with his "art". So for the Scorpions to reuse that image or kind of smash it, would have been shocking in a less disturbing way than it is today. You can still make it an S today though: that's your prerogative.

  • @bradmenpes809
    @bradmenpes809 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Chumbawamba's only ever S tier is for the total crapocity of their album cover. There's something so universally right about this rating ... 😜 The laugh out loud moment, though, goes to Jason and the "asymmetrical butt" comment for the Gentle Giant album cover. I mean, it's bad enough, but then Jason points out the "butt cheeks" are uneven ... rofl!

  • @stevemcgill355
    @stevemcgill355 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Rick Derringer's debut solo album "All American Boy" was pretty good, but the ironic (I guess) album cover confused or turned-off many record buyers at the time and it wasn't a big seller. I've always thought Black Sabbath's Sabotoge, while not really a bad album cover, is a bit dorky. Queens of the Stone Age debut has rather distasteful cover art. Crotch shots only worked once with "Sticky Fingers".

    Good job, enjoyable. I actually never bought any of these albums or had seen most before. The 1975 album "Daryl Hall and John Oates" has Daryl Hall looking more as a woman, maybe Daryl Hannah? Both guys are femininized and I think the song "Sara Smile" is on it.
    Hannah is 6 Ft and now married to Neil Young, who is comfortable marrying a big and tall bold-face lie. Wasn't it bad that she seemed to fake all her bruising to make it look like Jackson Brown beat her up? My point is that investigations found there to be no evidence.

      Crash Test Dummies have to be one of the worst Canadian bands of the 90s (or maybe all-time). Their covers of “Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” and “Androgynous” are horrible. “Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm,” which is their most famous hit, was somehow outdone on every level by the Weird Al parody version. “Keep a Lid on Things” is also shockingly horrible, and was even selected as the lead single for that album. There’s nothing redeeming about that band. Give a listen to “Overachievers” if you want to hear the most pathetic attempt at a grunge song ever recorded.
      If TLM does a “worst music videos” tier list for March Badness, I wish to nominate the ridiculous video made for “He Liked to Feel It.”

There was nothing sexual going on with mainstream rock at that time. That album cover stuck out like a sore thumb. It obviously hurt sales since the album only went Gold but even with a different cover the Black Crowes werent going multi platinum at that time or ever again.

    glad some of the Mew covers avoided this list.

    I would also include the bloody-art from that 1 Andrew W.K. album along with 1 or more album covers from The Weeknd. So repulsive to look at.
    Also that 1 Atreyu album with the vampire = awful trash.

      I like George's expression on All Things....................it's like he's reflecting on his life and career and contemplating what should be his next step. (He also could be reflecting on the album title as well). Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's what I take away from it.
