They will tell you that it's all about the music. If your tunes are strong, people will come! But first impressions count too, especially back in the day when these albums where released and people often made their purchases based on what looked cool in the record shop.

None of these albums covers look cool. Surely they didn't even in the darkest days of the 70's and 80's, when fashions in clothing and facial hair were at their most questionable. These are, according to Vintage Everyday, some of the worst and creepiest examples of album cover art ever dreamed up. They are so horribly bad, they're actually good. Hilariously good! Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your faves!

Yes, we have no bananas today. ( That's the title of the song. Clearly that's a lie.)

But just think of all the things you can store in it! Your purse, your 2 or 3 bottles of wine, a small car...

This trio has NOTHING to do with Holland or the Netherlands. Anyone suggesting otherwise will be sued for slander and deformation.

If they're thanking their hairdresser then they really shouldn't.

Heavens to Murgatroyd, the hair on the right, it's MONUMENTAL! The outer hairpiece looks like it actually wraps around her entire do. It looks like a sleeping bag, with a padded bit cut out and added to her hair.

We had an old console like this in the early 70's. TV, radio and turntable all in one.
